    I don’t want a flag that doesn’t include everyone for some weird queer theory or hetronormative analysis reason. 🙂😉

    And that’s why the rainbow is enough. It speaks beyond all these complications. Adding brown to it implies that brown people were not part of the rainbow, that more need to be added. All we really needed to do was indicate that brown people like any people fall under the same gay flag, regardless of the current existing social dynamic relating to race.

      If the rainbow had been enough, then we wouldn’t have ended up with racist queers in the community. That’s why the rest of us decided to send a clearer message. Are you interested in sending a clear message?

          • /: I don’t like racists but I can’t stop them from being gay or taking pride in being gay or flying this flag or any flag. Hopefully by meeting other people different than them, they will stop being racist and grow as people. I don’t think SWJing will help in any way, probably it makes it worse. I don’t like that vomit flag and I won’t fly it, but you can if you like 🤷‍♂️

              What a cowardly response. You dismiss all possibility of actually working to make things better, and choose hopes and wishes instead. Your argument is that trying to make things better is bad? How dishonourable.
