the general argument for this change is that these stripes were added
--- Quote from: teenvogue ---as a message of solidarity with its LGBTQ people of color and as a reminder of the need for inclusivity within the LGBTQ community

--- Quote from: teenvogue ---What they say: This isn’t the purpose of the flag. The flag is already created to represent all people regardless of race.
What we hear: I’ve never felt not represented by this flag and therefore don’t see any reason why it has to change.
What they say: This isn’t going to change anything.
What we hear: I don’t want to change.
What they say: This is going to create more divisiveness in our community.
What we hear: I’ve never been excluded from a venue or a party based on my race. I want to decide who is represented and supported in our community.
The reaction to these new stripes are a reminder of how white supremacy permeates many spaces, even those of a vastly marginalized group like the LGBTQ community.

--- Quote from: nypost ---“In 1978, artist Gilbert Baker designed the original rainbow flag,” the campaign states. “So much has happened since then. A lot of good, but there’s more we can do. Especially when it comes to recognizing people of color in the LGBTQ+ community. To fuel this important conversation, we’ve expanded the colors of the flag to include black and brown.”

i know most of you are big gays so im curious as to what the reaction in our epic lgbt community is to this.
are BLM politics spreading to unnecessary levels? or is the black community specifically excluded from the lgbt community, making this change necessary?
