Reblog to make QPOC feel more welcome in their own community
reblog to normalize explicit support and solidarity for qpoc in the lgbt community
I really like the idea of including lgbtqia+ poc in the flag, but I do have a small gripe with the flag.
Now, I’m no authority on this matter so feel free to put me in check if you feel like I’m speaking out of turn, but the black and brown bars always felt tacked on to me. It doesn’t feel inclusive to me so much as it feels like an afterthought, like: “lgbtq+… oh and also poc.” I felt like something more along these lines (see below) could celebrate the poc throughout the community– but again, that’s not really my decision to make. Either way, I support the change, and I think the inclusion is awesome.
Joan you wonderful genius
i’m on board with this one cause it actually looks good
I’m on board with this because of the notion behind it
Y’all the white stripe on the trans flag literally is for nonbinary folk, so maybe stop yelling at nonbinary folk that we’re using the ‘wrong’ flag for ourselves.
Also the trans flag was inspired by the bi flag, so miss me with your ‘bisexuality is transphobic’ bullshit. Here’s more of a history on why that shit is ahistorical.
This post has already pissed off transphobes, biphobes, nbphobes, homophobes, and Nazis, so today was a success.
