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.

That flag design is a travesty. I'm sorry, but it just is.

The progress flag looks okay, but this just is not it.

Isn't the rainbow supposed to symbolize diversity? I mean, maybe you want to highlight a specific identity, but then each also happens to have it's own flag nowadays which you can use...

It's turning into a queer coat of arms, and I'm honestly kinda down with that :D
