This flag is actively turning people against both and that includes fags and Ukes themselves who don't want to be associated with the other lol. It's a monstrosity and I can only pray that there are some rowdy Russians in Dublin for the parade who piss on it.

I've been calling it that for years.
Then how else can they apologize for the sin of being born white and/or cishet male? While going to BLM peaceful protests and buying from black-owned businesses helps, every little bit is needed to deal with the whiteness that white people inherent emanate.

All of them. We're going to get all of the layers.
As regards the while Dublin Pride thing, Ireland is leftist as fuck now.
The church is next to near irrelevant and no one really listens to anything they have to say any more. Pretty much the entire population is pro-socialism and just regurgitates liberal talking points from the US.
Divorce is legal, abortion is legal, junkies are treated like a protected minority and i'm pretty sure that trannies can do the whole "self identification" thing on government documents where they can pretend to be whatever they want.

Amazing how in just a few short years this month has become 1000x more obnoxious than black history month

Ever since their former woke icon JK Rowling refused to support the troon shit, they went full horseshoe and embraced the old nazi tradition of burning books.

Black history month in and of itself isn't as bad overall, it's mainly just BLM types and mouthbreathing leftists who turn it into a holiday to celebrate criminals past and present and shove bogus race theory shit into it, but there's nothing wrong with feeling proud of legitimate history which is all it should be about. Pride month on the other hand doesn't have any point besides celebrating your sexual preferences and being proud of what you get off to. They'll bring up Stonewall and shit like it, but that was also a weirdo sex parade. It's always been about sex and flaunting it in public rather than doing anything meaningful or being "proud" of anything. Add on to it that in the last few years it also celebrates sex offenders and pedos, and yeah, it's real fucking obnoxious.

Now it's the LGBTU!
L - Lesbian
G - Gay
B - Bisexual
T - Transgender
Oh, and we can't forget...
U - Ukraine
(Honestly corporate virtue-signaling has gone too far at this point. Wtf even was that flag, looked awful.)

Maybe it's a Russian op to demoralize the Ukes by calling them all gay.

Surely even this seems like a step too far for people who would unironically call themselves an "ally"?
I can get the idea of LGBT forming a group to deal with all of their issues at the same time (it makes sense, their issues are mostly aligned and increasing numbers can help quite a lot) but if you're tacking on whatever you feel like in the moment, it makes your issues unfocussed and can lead to massive infighting as the group begins to disagree on what was previously considered a fundamental baseline for all.
I already thought it was kinda weird when they added black/brown stripes to talk about racism within the LGBT movement (honestly kinda surprised it wasn't the other way around, I've been to uni and from what I hear from mates who are in it, BAME societies can be quite homophobic). But at least that was somewhat tying back to the original idea of sexual liberation. This just feels like "hot topic issue, add it to the flag".
This is just going to make people think of the whole movement as a bunch of clowns.
EDIT: The more I go through the past posts in this thread the more I realise "intersectionality" is an attempt to web together every single issue in order to force someone to support them all. Wanna put your penis in a man without prejudice? Well, you'd better be fully vaccinated, protesting for ukraine and supporting black hiring initiatives. Only then have you earned your right to be gay.

all joking aside, the original idea of the dublin organisers was to show that they are welcoming the Ukrainian refugees in Ireland that have arrived this year. That they are thinking about them and want them to feel Included/fought for/etc. I don't think it's meant to be about permanent solidarity with Ukraine entirely, just temporary solidarity with the refugees.
The problem is that Ukrainian refugees don't need any goddamn solidarity or anyone to be a big brave activist fighting for them, because no one has a problem with them already. They are mostly well-behaved women and children with civilised social values. In reality, most people are nice and compassionate by default. They only get "intolerant" when refugees do bad shit.
The only "cultural conflicts" you hear about with Ukrainians is trivial shit. Like little kids feeding chocolate to the dog of a host family (because Dog ownership is rare in Ukraine.). Instead of fucking raping people.
Once they got as far as the "T" I stopped taking it seriously.
I have no issues with bi or gay people and have friends who are gay. Trans nutters just glommed on to their movement to make themselves above criticism and that opened the floodgates to whoever the fuck wanted to join in to become a protected minority.
It's a complete farce now and a lot of 30+ year old gays are as fed up with it as everyone else is.
I won't even start with how lesbians have been pretty much been completely erased by SJWs.

do you think they asked any Ukrainians if its what they wanted? completely insulting to copy paste your choice of lifestyle onto an entire county, especially one like Ukraine right now.

This Pride Month I’m Partnering With’ Memes Are Coming Out Strong / https://archive.ph/U74c6
Online, the L.G.B.T.Q. community is having fun with the corporate sponsorship of Pride month and the influencers who take part in those campaigns.
By Shane O’Neill

June 1 marks the beginning of Pride month, when parades pop up in cities around the world and rainbows start appearing in ads for liquor, banks, makeup and big-box department stores.
These events and campaigns are visible shows of support for the L.G.B.T.Q. community. They’re also good for business. Sometimes lumped under the label of “rainbow capitalism,” pride ads and merchandise are often the subject of jokes and memes that question the sincerity of corporate marketing and the influencers who help boost such messages. This year, the online ribbing started right away.
Katie Johantgen riffed on a common joke format just after midnight on June 1: an emotional coming-out message, ending with the reveal of a brand partnership: “I’ve realized life is short,” she wrote on Twitter, “which is why this pride I’ve decided to partner with Taco Bell, so I can Live Mas.”
Though the tweet was meant as a parody, modeled after language influencers use to promote Pride campaigns, Mrs. Johantgen’s coming out was sincere. She received an outpouring of support alongside winking nods of approval. One Twitter user responded with an image of the Taco Bell logo displayed against a rainbow background, with the text: “LIVE YÁÁÁS.”
Some of the “I’m partnering with” memes are silly or bawdy, like a tweet that makes a pun about oral sex and DoorDash food delivery. Others lampoon the dissonance between the positive rainbow ads and the less-sunny realities of corporations. Hudson Farr, 24, tweeted about an imagined partnership with one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers, writing: “As a queer child, I learned firsthand that sometimes words can be the most hurtful weapons. That’s why this pride month I’ve partnered with raytheon.” Still others tend toward gallows humor, such as a tweet about “partnering with IKEA to build my dream closet.”
Notably, each of the corporations mentioned has its own 2022 Pride campaign underway. “LIVE YÁÁÁS” is fictitious, but Taco Bell does have an L.G.B.TQ.-focused employee resource group called “Live Más Pride” and is currently sponsoring a 10-show drag tour hosted at five of its Taco Bell locations.
DoorDash is hosting several events for employees this June that include drag bingo, Pride trivia and a donation and letter writing campaign in support of trans people via the organization Point of Pride. Raytheon Technologies released a statement on June 1 outlining its commitment to its L.G.B.T.Q. workers and noting that the company “is regularly recognized by the Human Rights Campaign as one of the best places for LGBTQIA+ employees to work.”
Throughout the month of June, Ikea is donating proceeds from sales of its rainbow shopping bags to the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization that focuses on the L.G.B.T.Q. community. Ikea is also encouraging customers to take selfies with the company’s “HOME PRIDE HOME” cross-stitch design. A PDF of the image is available for download on Ikea’s website.
These corporate initiatives are now familiar enough that they’ve become common fodder for satire. In 2021, the comedian Meg Stalter uploaded a video of herself playing a representative of a butter shop making a clumsy attempt to court gay customers. Her opening line — “Hi, gay!” — became internet shorthand for corporate pandering. T-shirts bearing the slogan are available in her online shop.
Addie Shrodes, who recently completed a Ph.D. in education from Northwestern University, has researched online humor in L.G.B.T.Q. communities. “Usually there is a pride joke that happens around the month of June,” Dr. Shrodes said. “And this year, I’ve been noticing this anti-capitalist, anti-corporate joke around influencer commodification in Pride spaces.”
“Especially within queer and queer of color activism, there’s a really long history of using humor to survive and resist interlocking structures of oppression,” Dr. Shrodes said, citing the work of the activist group ACT-UP and Jose Muñoz, the queer theorist who wrote, “Comedy does not exist independently of rage.”
Dr. Shrodes said that humor has been used for decades within queer and trans activist movements as a way to question dominant norms. “In the social media world that we live in, influencer culture gets normalized. Being a paid ambassador, being a paid content creator, that gets normalized,” Dr. Shrodes said, adding that memes could be “a way to use humor to create some distance from those trends and say, ‘Oh, this is actually kind of weird. Maybe we don’t want this.’”
Or maybe people do? Sometimes it’s not so clear.
“I like that format because I hate capitalism,” Mrs. Johantgen, 30, said. Not that she’s above trying to parlay her tweet’s virality into some corporate swag. In a reply to her own tweet, she urged Taco Bell to donate to the groups that support the L.G.B.T.Q. community and also suggested that the company send freebies her way.
“It’s about my journey as a queer person and getting free Baja Blasts for life,” Mrs. Johantgen said. She was joking. Mostly.

This came my way. r/egypt on reddit is in a bit of a tism as the mods there recolored the reddit icon and the pyramids into gay colors.
Needless to say, in this certified Reddit™ moment, they quickly walked it back after actual Egyptians posting in the sub started posting dangerously based posts like this.
The sub then started making posts as to why they're putting up with this. They can't even vote in their country, now Americans are forcing gay colors on them, so they can't even vote to have those out.

Mods are gay, as if that were a dead give away.

Let this be a reminder that Arabs > the GAY community on the struggle pyramid.

One of the community centres in my county is flying the Ukraine flag and the pride flag at the exact same height as the Canadian flag. I'm not a flag fag who insists everyone adhere to the exact rules of putting up their country's flag, but you are not supposed to fly the flags of other nations or movements at the same height as the flag of your own fucking country.
Also the pride flag is the stupid one with the sideways triangle in the corner and the light pink and blue. I don't understand why people keep redesigning the pride flag and putting more colours on it. The original flag is a rainbow, the symbolism meaning that it covers every colour (aka faggy identity). Adding more colours to a RAINBOW is kind of missing the entire point.
