The first time I saw the "new flag" I didn't get it, and I still don't get it now. African countries have notoriously been very homophobic and transphobic, the same goes for african american communities and the black church.
To me, it feels like yet another thing that the black community desperately wants to appropiate. Either that or some activists were so desperate to appear woke that they let them in.
One could argue that the colors are there to represent black LGBT members, but isn't a fucking rainbow supposed to show inclusiveness to everyone? What does "black pride" have to do with LGBT? What are you proud of your community of? Calling homosexuality a sin to God? Raping lesbian women to "fix" them?
EDIT: I also don't get why we needed the trans flag colors in there too, when a rainbow is supposed to cover everything. What do you think the "T" stands for in LGBT? Trypophobia? Besides, you can be a transitioned person and be straight. I like it better when two flags are allowed to be there instead of a mixed one.
EDIT2: this was moved from the LGBT+ tempers group for some reason.
