       @tirifto @EUCommission  I once came across this comment regarding this:The progress flag isn’t about representation specifically - all LGBTQ+ people are represented by the rainbow already.The progress flag was designed to draw attention to where we have more work to do to ensure all of our community is making progress, unfortunately whilst as a whole community we’ve made progress it has not been equal and some parts of the community have not seen as much progress as the others.The arrows aren’t saying trans people weren’t represented by the rainbow, or that poc are LGBTQ+ automatically. It was a call to action for us as a community to recognise which parts of our community need focus to ensure they also make progress. It also reminds us of those we lost to AIDS and how we need to both continue to support people, and tackle serophobia in the community.(Although I'd personally prefer the intersex-inclusive pride flag, because the og progressive one comes with some copyright messiness)
