Just in case any members of the community were confused about the pecking order, the stripes from the top are Black, Brown, then etc...

[a fool in paradise]

Like a sh-stain?

[a fool in paradise]

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.

[Haiku Guy]

That's not oppressive at all...

[csvset]

The natural order.

[a fool in paradise]

Is there a criminal charge for burning that flag?

[Haiku Guy]

What about poor purple?!?

All the other colors get full stripes, but purple gets 3/5^ths of a stripe?

What are they, 3/5^ths of a person?

Wait a minute... this sounds familiar...

[mtrott]

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.

[Chickensoup]

No white.

Interesting

[Haiku Guy]

The flag company is just printing and sewing fabric. I doubt they pay any royalties to anybody for such a generic design.

[Haiku Guy]

LGBTQIA?

OK. I give up.

What are the I and the A for?!?

[cyclotic]

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.

[ConservativeStatement]

You know, for those who don’t like males, females or anything in between.
