I think it's a very bad image that they chose... I can very much understand people thinking this was trying to be compared to the original, but I feel like it's much more likely that it was either comparing it to the original sort of meaning like Ike said,
or a reference to the LGBT struggle in certain other areas like Germany, where they went from full-on genocides in the 1940's (which a lot of people didn't know included gay and biloveual people) to now-legalised same-love marriage just recently (hence the metaphor of pushing up the flag). I seriously doubt it's trying to compare LGBT struggles in the US to war.
Nonnel:
that's from iwo jima (japan), not germany, tho
the image is about success over struggle, not war.
