    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.

      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 :)

      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.
