It’s meant to acknowledge intersectionality. The ways that minority identities can overlap, creating more complex lived experiences for some individuals.
Edit: I want to say, yes, I understand why those colors break right through the middle of the rainbow flag, but why? Does it really express what you hope for it to express?
And what abort white people? Where are their colors? I feel like this flag divides more than it brings anyone together. Seems like it only succeeded in bringing together a lot of SJW “political-correctness-gone-mad” types but not so much the average gay person.
Lol please, I’m not complaining about white people not being in there as much as I mean to criticize that you can’t represent everyone on a flag by skin color. That would have to be every color. I think it’s ridiculous to even aspire to add these extra colors, because it negates what the rainbow is supposed to represent,
I don’t want a flag that doesn’t include everyone for some weird queer theory or hetronormative analysis reason. 🙂😉
And that’s why the rainbow is enough. It speaks beyond all these complications. Adding brown to it implies that brown people were not part of the rainbow, that more need to be added. All we really needed to do was indicate that brown people like any people fall under the same gay flag, regardless of the current existing social dynamic relating to race.
Don’t quote me on this, but I feel like the reason the arrow is in the middle of this one is so it doesn’t get covered up by cars or something. Usually it’s at the end

I don’t see how it does, to be honest.

So if white is a shade of brown, then why is that stripe there? To signify what? That we all have skin?
