>>40118003I agree I think it's stupid and othering and undermines the original intent. "Everyone" vs. "Everyone plus black people and trans people and intersex people", like oh so, we weren't included in "everyone" to begin with??
The inclusion of black people specifically is insane because #1 wtf does that have to do with LGBT, and #2 it undermines the universality of the flag by having a specific ethnic group on it. Like, you are never gonna see this flag flying in Japan or somewhere like that where 0.02% of the population is black, because that would be bizarre.
Imagine if someone had a sign on their restaurant that said "All races are welcome, even black people!". everyone would be like what the fuck? but if it's for gays then it's normal for some reason.
