It's barely June, and the Mayor of London is causing ANOTHER pride flag discourse on the app that is Twitter (www.thepinknews.com)

Queer people are getting their rights violated and removed in real time, and now we have ppl from all across the political spectrum arguing over a flag I have never seen before.

At this point, I'm convinced that the flag is an intentional psyop designed to sow division in the community over colours on a rectangle to distract from actual issues.

I think more flag designs are a good thing. It's not like this bi-inclusive flag means it's now illegal to fly the previous version of the progress flag, or an identity-specific flag. Everybody can just pick a flag that resonates with them and allows them to express themselves.
