Multiple sources closely connected with Thursdays First Annual Pride Kick-Off at City Hall have confirmed to G Philly that the citys Pride flag will add black and brown stripes below the traditional six-color rainbow layout. The new permanent design will be, from top to bottom: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
The black and brown stripes are an inclusionary way to highlight black and brown LGBTQIA members within our community, said one source involved with the flag-raising event who asked not to be named. With all of the black and brown activism thats worked to address racism in the Gayborhood over the past year, I think the new flag is a great step for the city to show the world that theyre working toward fully supporting all members of our community.

Just in case any members of the community were confused about the pecking order, the stripes from the top are Black, Brown, then etc...
Like a sh-stain?
Everything but heterosexual.
They’ve now taken to claiming authority over ASEXUAL people as well. If you don’t have an active sex life (possibly by moral choice or lack of suitable partner(s)) the diaper freaks, sadomasochistic, crossdressers say THEY will speak on your behalf. Anything to boost their claimed numbers.
That's not oppressive at all...
The natural order.
Is there a criminal charge for burning that flag?
All the other colors get full stripes, but purple gets 3/5ths of a stripe?
What are they, 3/5ths of a person?
Wait a minute... this sounds familiar...
Hmm.... it seems the flag has stripes of all colors except one— white! What about all the white LGBT people? I guess they don’t count.
I think there is if you steal it, but if you own the flag and then burn it publicly, that’s free speech.
I’d love to try it sometime but can’t bring myself to enrich the movement by purchasing a flag.
Hitlery’s hate department and the IRS went after a preacher in Florida who announced he was going to burn his own korans.
It’s agitation and you cannot burn your own cross these days so burning a gay supremacist flag could likewise be seen as unprotected hate speech.
No white.
Interesting
read my tagline
The flag company is just printing and sewing fabric. I doubt they pay any royalties to anybody for such a generic design.
LGBTQIA?
OK. I give up.
What are the I and the A for?!?
Come and get me.
I instigated a massive 100 flag burn last spring. I even invited the Mayor and the media to witness it.
It was actually a very respectful retirement of about 100 flags. The burn took a long time. We should have used more kerosene.
“Brown sounds about right!”
For the “Muddy Helmet” crowd.
You know, for those who don’t like males, females or anything in between.
The colors one sees in a petri dish - how appropriate for a lifestyle whose STD rates are through the roof.
Shiitebow?
Can we please take the rainbow back as a sign of God’s covenant!
