Is it odd that trans is separated from the lgbt rainbow?
There is no lgbt without trans people and the separation made, while good for trans visibility, is unsettling with the added context of the psyops to separate gender and sexuality unity
I don’t think so. It’s a way of making sure trans people are specifically included in the message. Considering how much trans people are in the crosshairs, I think that’s worth doing. Considering the message of the shirt is about expanding unity to different marginalized groups, I don’t think it’s part of some plot to split off trans people.
It was GLBT before it was LGBT. Historically there wasn’t much use of LGB because the transphobic gay people often didn’t like bi people or gay people of the opposite gender. Putting L first was an act of gratitude to the work lesbians did during the height of AIDS, often being the only people willing to care for the dying.
I’m assuming the others are supposed to represent other marginalized groups.
Brown for people of color, pink for women, though your guess is as good as mine on the purple.
The idea of intersectionality is that it is not feasible to try to uplift one marginalized group to the exclusion of others, so it’s basically saying “we have each other’s backs regardless of race/gender/sexuality/whatever purple is.”
Would not surprise me if this was an AI generated shirt though, or at least a ripoff of an original design someone else made, because I’ve seen this same sort of design everywhere.
Good thing I gave this thread a quick scroll before joking about feeling represented properly here as a non queer person by the boring plain beige one.
Am I just color blind or are only two of the dice pride flags? It’s annoying me that it’s so wonky.
I found a similar shirt on Etsy, purple is for Peace.
OH. I was reading it as brown=bears, rainbow=pride, pink=lesbian, pink/white/blue=trans, and purple= either bi or ace

I think it’s odd given the the other “pride” dice. Especially peace, that seems out of place with the broader idea of minority pride representation.
I think is there for the people who want to be supportive but are not marginalized. They can fight the good fight too.
The Progress Pride flag is right there for that purpose.

Not LGBTQIA+?

The brown die is for POC, and I believe the pink die is supposed to stand for feminism. Couldn’t say what the purple one is for.
