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.

Can somecritter please explain to me how it's June <.< My sources inform me that it's April and I think that April is not June.

Also if being a little extra inclusive is "sowing division" then maybe the community in question has some serious issues with gatekeeping or some other kind of exclusivity. Like, damn, multiple flags can exist at once. If this one cracks someone's ass they're free to fly another instead. No need to demand I buy three bits of cloth if I'm happy just using one.
