In thinking of them new brown, and black, and trans stripes in the Queer Rainbow flag. I was at the time indignant. Seeing it as an afterthought act of paternalism. I recall the ground level gay racism/sexism when in my 20’s.
Trans folks were openly despised I saw this. The usual suspects being turned away from cafes bars, and the like. “…Sorry private party.” Right every place I went with pals was having a private party.
It’s somewhat different now.
However I resent the stuffing in of a few extra stripes as contrition. Still life goes on, and we let old hurts go or try to. Above,…the damned thing looks like an eye test. That or one of them Japanese cartoons that gives ya strokes.
I’d rather they left it alone.
