Some LGBTQ+ members upset with ‘progress’ banner replacing rainbow
New York Post ^ | June 18, 2022 | Jon Levine

A growing rift has emerged among some in the LGBTQ+ community over the upstart “Progress Flag” — ripping it as “ugly,” “dumb” and a “monstrosity.”

The traditional “Rainbow Pride” banner incorporates red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet displayed along six horizontal bars.

The 2018 “Progress Flag,” — a creation of artist Daniel Quasar, added a curious mosaic of new colors — black, brown, pink, light blue and white, plastered into a triangle overlapping the original pride design.

The black and brown bars are said to reflect “marginalized LBGT communities of color, community members lost to HIV/AIDS, and those currently living with AIDS,” according to an info page from Northwestern University’s office of equity.

The flag also includes white, pink and light blue stripes to reflect the transgender community.

“It’s an aesthetic and design monstrosity that no gay man should approve of. It’s a disgrace to our sexual orientation,” thundered Andrew Sullivan, a longtime gay cultural critic ...

“Everyone should wave whatever flag they believe represents them during Pride,” said GOP City Councilman David Carr, the first openly gay Republican to sit in the chamber — who added the choice for him was clear.

“The traditional flag is the one I identified with over the years, and it’s the one I’ll continue to display proudly,” he said.

I found the last line in the article morbidly amusing. Carr is a Republican, so naturally, he prefers the "traditional" gay flag.

"...community members lost to HIV/AIDS, and those currently living with AIDS,

I just really, really, really, really, really, really don’t care what their flag looks like.

Really.

I don’t care.

Closer and closer to looking like the results of a kaliedescope toy. Too many contrasting hues fighting for dominance of the same small space.
