How the original rainbow flag for gays, lesbians and bisexuals has been hijacked
Found this text online, so credit to the author.
Originating from a time when gay and lesbian people were persecuted and not accepted as they are today, I understand why it was created.
It is a testament to how genuinely progressive society is (despite what those who wish to divide us down identity lines would have us believe) that discrimination against gay and lesbian people is condemned by the overwhelming majority of people. Myself included.
This simple flag, with its simple message, and the movement it represents has been hijacked by the modern and ever more “progressive” iterations of it, to now include a triangle which has a black line (representing Black Lives Matter) what on earth skin colour has to do with sexual orientation, i have no idea. A brown line (which is for brown people) doesn’t matter how brown you are, tough luck, you only get the one brown line (doesn’t seem very inclusive of diversity to me) Again I have no idea what brownness has to do with sexual orientation. And then there’s the baby blue and the baby pink (which represents transgenderism) There is now even a sideways 8 on the latest ever evolving migraine flag, unveiled this week (which represents autistic people) In what world has autism got anything to do with sexual orientation? Madness.
Transgenderism isn’t about two people of the same sex being attracted to each other. It’s based on a fundamental lie. That men can become women and women can become men. All it takes is the have your healthy genitals chopped off and bobs your uncle (or your aunt) Adults who choose to undergo these crude surgeries are free to do so. However sad some people may find it, it’s their choice. But it doesn’t change reality. It doesn’t alter the truth.
It is the promotion of this gender ideology to children in schools which is most disturbing. From social transitioning, to new and ever more ridiculous pronouns, through to breast binding, puberty blockers and ultimately irreversible life changing surgeries is abhorrent. Children and young people do not have the mental capacity to understand the consequences such permanent decisions.
Just read or listen to the testimonies of those who now have to live out the rest of their lives in regret, deprived of breasts, penises, the opportunity to enjoy sexual pleasure, or become parents. Instead confronted with a future of Osteoporosis and multiple infections.
We wouldn’t let a child cut off his or her arm if they wanted to. Any doctor who was willing to do so would be struck off immediately. Instead, we would, quite rightly encourage kids to seek professional help. So why on earth would we seek to normalise and celebrate this most intimate and irrevocable of mutations to children? All couched within the most insidious of terms “Gender affirming healthcare.” It’s not healthcare, it’s body destruction.
Now you can feel free to disagree with me, and I respect anyone’s right or do so. But it seems until LGB draw a clear line between the TQ++ etc etc, those who are hiding behind Lesbian and gay people to push this nihilistic and narcissistic agenda, will continue to undo all the progress made in the names of equal rights.
That is why I have no issue with the original rainbow flag and why I despise the others so much.
End of copy and paste.
Why not let the trans and other non-gays that are living in a fantasy world of made up genders have their own seperate flag?
