A rainbow flag redesigned by LGBT activists to be more “inclusive” is conspicuously missing one color.
As part of the new More Color More Pride campaign and coinciding with the beginning of Pride Month, Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs and local ad agency, Tierney, unveiled the new flag earlier this month outside of Philadelphia City Hall, CNN reported.

The redesigned rainbow flag featured the addition of one black stripe and one brown stripe in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people of color. Obviously missing in the different shades is the color white.

Amber Hikes, director of the city’s Office of LGBT Affairs and identified by CNN as a “black queer woman,” said the raising of the flag was “such a profound statement” in a city that has allegedly seen multiple cases of racial discrimination in the past year.

“White people do not know what racism looks like, because that’s the definition of racism,” Hikes said, noting that the”vast majority” of critics of the new design are gay white men. Of course, these same gay white men assumed the existing rainbow flag already represented everyone.
This is ridiculous. GLBT encompasses all groups already

The flag represents people who are gay it is a celebration and declaration of acceptance. It shouldn’t be redifined as a racial flag. ?

A More Color More Pride video posted on YouTube referred to the “inclusive” flag and what the change meant.
“We say that we’re inclusive. We celebrate it. Now it’s time to go further,” the video narrator stated. “To broaden the horizons of our community. To change our iconic symbol … To not just talk about being inclusive, but to finally do it,”
Seriously? I thought the Pride flag was pretty inclusive and represented all people? Cuz purple & blue people don’t exist ?️??️??️?

There is absolutely no need to alter the Pride flag. It was based on equality of the LGBT community, shouldn’t have to do with race

If it does have to do with race-why only include two racial pigments? What about all the other people? Even emojis have more diversity.?♀️?

According to research, a majority of those in the U.S. who actually identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender are white – the one color not added to the flag.
Blood-thirsty liberals respond to shooting by celebrating, wishing victims were dead
In a 2013 Pew Research survey, 34 percent of the 1,197 LGBT adults surveyed identified as non-white while 66 percent identified as white.
