    Technically not true; the rainbow covers all under the gender, romance, and sexuality spectrum. But it does indeed primarily get used as the catchall queer flag, so I guess!

      No, it represents the LGBTQIA+ community. It does not include allies, and saying it does is an invitation for appropriation.

        Time for a new flag! Let’s add polka dots!

        (I’m joking, I think the flag gets stupider as stuff gets added to it. I understand what it represents, but as a piece of graphic design I hate the chevron addition)

            I just think the OG flag was so simple and good, an awesome design. I find the new one cluttered and it gives me a designed-by-committee vibe.

            Honestly i think it’s useless the cevron even if it was not a cevron; the old flag was enough IMO

              I feel like all the add ons water down the message of unity. Instead of gathering for battle under a single flag we bitch and moan about what colours should be in which order.

              *It’s not lost on me that I’m bitching and moaning about which colours are in what order. I’m not even gay, I’m just gay for vexillolography.
