Seeing white gays have meltdowns over darker colors being added to the rainbow flag because “it already includes everybody” is like hearing white people shout ALL LIVES MATTER.
that’s actually… not true? lmao race and sexuality BELIEVE IT OR NOT are two separate issues, the flag representing sexuality. BLM and “all lives matter” are both about race… so….
The point of my post was just proven.
Nah this is bullshit. The Pride Flag was established years ago and it was meant to have the colors of rainbow. You know what colors the rainbow doesn’t have? Brown and black, but I guess physics must be racist. The logic of “we must include brown and black to represent all skin colors” but they’re not including a white stripe, just a black and brown one to fill their PC quota. It’s total bullshit. When you take the Pride Flag and you modify it to add colors, it’s the same as when you take “Black Lives Matter” and modify it to “All Lives Matter”. This has nothing to do with white or black gays, your reasoning is stupid. The pride flag is about sexuality, not skin color. That’s why it’s a rainbow.
Also this new pride flag thing is a marketing scam. Look at the website for the flag. It’s all focused on sales and marketing and if you click anything it immediately asks you for money. The company that’s doing this Pride flag thing is a marketing company, Tierney. If this was about making PoC feel included in the community, where is that reflected on this website? Where are the LGBT PoC biographies? The historical precedent to gay flag? Not there at all. It’s a marketing strategy targeted at PC culture and those who have a need to call everything racist. This is a brand, not a movement. This flag is copyrighted and someone gets paid every time you use it. This is just a thinly veiled attempt to manipulate people’s emotions and all of you are falling for it.
Nobody wants to feel racist, and now for a price, you don’t have to because these people have mastered emotional blackmail. LGBT organizations are gonna feel pressured into buying and displaying this new flag and so will everybody else, because whoever doesn’t, get the finger pointed at them and called a racist. Congratulations, you Tumblr PC assholes, have managed to reduce racism to a marketing strategy.
Jesus Christ…
Okay, Darren, this is – what? – the third time I’ve been made aware of your unabashed stupidity on here?
Let me start off by saying that I had my own reservations about the flag because of one key detail that I didn’t come across until yesterday which completely changed my perspective on it: the flag was specifically created for the Philadelphia LGBT community, full stop.
That’s literally it. This isn’t Philly trying to make their new Pride flag the Pride flag. This is Philly altering their Pride flag to better reflect their LGBT community.
It’s supposed to be a testament to Black and Brown (Latinx) people in the Philly gay community and bring attention to how they have been treated in recent years. (x)(x)
Over the last few years, there have been reports about gay bars in Philly actively turning away and mistreating local Black LGBT people. (x)(x)(x)
The Mazzoni Center – which is the regional LGBT health organization in Philly – has been consistently accused and guilty of discrimination in its services to Black and Brown Philly citizens. (x)(x)
More recently, the chair of the Philly Mayor’s LGBT commission – a Black Trans woman named Sharron Cooks – was removed from her position for “creating an unwelcome environment.” (x)(x)(x)
Now, with all that out there, let’s move on to your own bullshit:
The logic of “we must include brown and black to represent all skin
colors” but they’re not including a white stripe, just a black and brown
one to fill their PC quota.
…you really are dense as fuck. No one’s filling a “quota”. And furthermore, did it ever cross your mind that adding those two stripes could maybe have something to do with the fact that QPOC don’t feel included in our own community because White and White-passing gays (Looking at you) are – what’s the word? – racist?
I said it as soon as this flag popped up on my dash: This is gonna give White Gays more invalid reasons to bitch and moan about QPOC being pandered to. Lo and behold, I was right. Sit down, coz it isn’t about you and it’s not about any of the shit you’ve managed to cobble together on your keyboard.
“
When you take the Pride Flag and you modify it to add colors, it’s the
same as when you take “Black Lives Matter” and modify it to “All Lives
Matter”.”
The fuck it is. First of all, the Pride Flag used now isn’t even the original design as it’s missing two colours that Gilbert Baker originally included – turquoise and hot pink. The flag has been modified countless times by LGBT communities across different cities and countries for various reasons – so, no, altering the flag does not equate to shouting/writing “All Lives Matter” over “Black Lives Matter”.
Just about the only thing you actually have a decent point on is the advertising company working with Philadelphia on this. I’m immediately shady of any corporate entity being involved in LGBT issues but, again, this is for Philly – not the entire LGBT community worldwide or even countrywide, really.
But again, you have to fuck it up.
Nobody wants to feel racist, and now for a price, you don’t have to
because these people have mastered emotional blackmail. LGBT
organizations are gonna feel pressured into buying and displaying this
new flag and so will everybody else, because whoever doesn’t, get the
finger pointed at them and called a racist. Congratulations, you Tumblr
PC assholes, have managed to reduce racism to a marketing strategy.
It’s funny too, coz I also said that less socially aware gays would use this as an excuse to say racism doesn’t exist in the LGBT community coz, hey, there are two extra colors on the flag.
LGBT communities exactly nowhere are going to feel pressured into doing anything. The flag has been altered dozens of times and never once has any such alteration (aside from reducing it from eight colours to six) caught on to replace the flag as it already exists. Way to sensationalize this though.
You can stop defending White Gays now. You already look like one so it’s not like they won’t fuck you.
Go back to answering cringe-worthy anonymous asks from yourself and underaged gays calling you “daddy” and falsely referring to yourself as a doctor. Oh, and plugging your SC on literally every post you reblog. Like wow, dude, you must really be getting nothing if you’re that desperate for random dick pics.
wow can y’all believe Darren still out here acting a fool after i ripped every strand of hair from his head one by one? that is really wild
