Also re: the gradual ruination of the rainbow flag, I'm kind of amazed that idpol freaks don't understand how symbols work, considering that they're largely college grads who spend all their time engaged in verbal battles and language games. Obviously cramming more and more referents into a single symbol like the pride flag or the never-ending acronym dilutes its meaning, its clarity, and the ability of normal people to engage with it. The original rainbow flag (which to be fair I see a lot more IRL than this "progress flag" abortion) is an attractive, eye-catching symbol which represents LGBT culture generally. Every non-standard gender/sexual/romantic identity or expression is implicitly included already. Other pride flags exist for other identities already, a trend I think is stupid but... there's already an intersex flag. Intersex isn't really LGBT, but if it was it would already be included under the meaning of the rainbow flag, which I've always understood to be quite broad. I think even normies know that there's a million different flavors of gay now and that the rainbow flag is for all of them (it's a spectrum get it?).
But because intersex isn't explicitly included by being visually included on the flag, let's change the flag. Oh hey also we have to be intersectional so could you shove race into this flag that's about gender and sexuality? Yes I think visually including black and brown people by putting actual black and brown stripes on a rainbow is extremely tasteful. Oh intersex? Cram it on there, let's start cut-and-pasting pieces of pride flags together. I kind of can't wait to see how fucked it'll get before even these people find it too ridiculous to use.
