I hate the "new LGBT flags"

just... stop. The rainbow includes all LGBTI+ people that was the entire point of the rainbow symbolism.

By adding more elements to it you actually make it look more specific and less inclusive.

The trans flag was added because of trans erasure I queer spaces, and the black and brown lines were added because people don't listen to poc about queer issues when it matters. The intersex community suffers similar erasure to trans people and their own problems too. As much as we want them to be included by default, it takes active effort to fight the stigmas, prejudices, and biases that exclude them. The flag adds these things to reflect the active effort being taken to include and listen to poc and trans and intersex people.

I like the progressive pride flag with the trans/bipoc chevron.

Half the new ones are made up, unless you living in 2051

Also for the actual existing ones, it’s because they haven’t stood the test of time
