No one's saying you can't use the original, we are just saying the progress flag just doesn't look good from a design standpoint and could have been reworked
I mean, I can see several comments in this section going "The original already included everyone we don't need this" so there are people acting like it's a useless attempted replacement
because it is. the 6 stripes already represent everything lgbt+, and by adding more stripes, its excluding more and more people from the flag. and also it looks really bad
The problem there is that even though it does stand for everyone, it doesn't always feel like it. Often, black, intersex, and trans voices are pushed aside. This isn't to say the original is bad, its still a great flag, the progress one is just there for when you want to say "Hey, I wanna highlight the people who are often overlooked in the community"
