Quite a pull to not use straight lines on a straight flag.

If the "stop calling me a homo" kid was a flag

That's not a "straight pride" flag, that's a "doubling down on our anti-LGBTQ+ agenda because they dare to defy us with their own flag" flag. I'm straight, that flag does not represent me, it represents bigoted fucks. There are already several flags for that.

"There are already several flags for that."

Yes. And in fact, a couple of those flags plagiarize ancient Hindu symbols... See if you can find which (hint: it's not the lotus...)

When I learned about that one is when I figured out all symbolism of anything good is doomed to stray from it's original meaning. Fools and assholes will ultimately adopt them in an attempt to appear more credible on the surface, when people start figuring them out, they associate that symbol with that behavior, and it's game over. They do it to flags, religious totems, words, anything that might be able to grant them a benefit-of-the-doubt buff for a while.

The one from decades ago was fine and kind of funny actually - it was the gay one but grayscale. This one is shoplifting the trans colors. Also only chuds will ever fly this, so at least it functions as a do-not-interact signifier.
