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.
This hyped obsession with skin color irks me as a “gay person of color”. This is a flag to celebrate all sexualities, it’s redundant to add the brown or black to it for purely SWJ-y reasons. I think your response is complicated and unpractical, it also kills me how it’s okay to make sweeping statements about white people like that’s not some form of racism rofl
Like have that flag if you like, but as a “gay person of color”, I will not, and I will always point out how vomity it looks, how it lacks good design, and how it never helped.

It was always enough. I think your message isn’t clear nor helpful.
Then why are there racists why fly the rainbow flag?

My argument is: don’t fix what’s not broken.
