I agree we should have the a main Pride flag that represents the whole community of sexual and gender variants who are marginalized, and there is really no better symbol than the rainbow since we really are all different types that, when gathered together, bring light to the world. Why? Because I see this as not just a way of calling attention, but a way to unsettle those who are a little too out of touch. In fact, instead of putting the stripes on one end of the flag, I would have stuck them right in the middle where everyone can see. We've overlooked something, we haven't been listening, and we haven't been supporting each other, and so we aren't really a rainbow. but when some people feel they have to do something like this to draw attention to their unique issues, it shows we've all failed in some regard. I know that the rainbow flag is supposed to cover everyone in the community - black, white, indigenous, Asian, gay, bi, trans, etc. There's something very telling in the reaction to the new Pride flag as well as the impetus for it.
