For those that view this particular version of the pride flag redundant: Yes, you are technically correct. The rainbow is supposed to symbolize inclusion.
However, recent political movements seek to divide and exclude particular groups from the queer community, namely trans people. By choosing a flag that explicitly includes those colors, you are explicitly denouncing that division.

And by choosing to accept the rainbow flag as all inclusive, you also denounce division.
The idea that we need to specifically call out everyone in need of coverage is asinine, and in itself divisive.
This is the same argument people use for “all lives matter” and anti-DEI.
In a perfect world, it should be equal, but to make this argument is ignoring the reality that it’s not.
This flag is better since there are a surprising number of gay people who are anti-trans. Completely bananas if you ask me.
Truth.
Also, the triangle part is just really cool as well. I love both, but the progress pride one feels much more officially flaggy to me :)
