Personally I think you’re wrong and an idiot but that’s just my opinion.
Fyi this isn’t a dig at people who are asexual or sex-repulsed. Gay sex was literally a criminal act in the parts of the United States Texas until 2003. A healthy relationship to both sex and your body is a major component of the human experience, but especially LGBTQ+ people. Yes this includes people who have a healthy understanding of their boundaries with regards to sex. To try and divorce the fight for LGBTQ+ rights from sexuality is both dangerous and ahistorical.
The “sex” stripe isn’t “have sex.” Mainstream society has no problem with people having sex. We don’t need a flag to declare our right to have sex.
The stripe means “have the sex you want to have, with the people you want to have sex with.”
And that includes “no sex, with no people.”
(For anyone who didn’t know: the pink (sex) and turquoise (magic & art) were removed because it was hard to source those colors for flags, not because of any controversy over their meanings.)
(Image ID) A tweet by Tony Choi that reads “Pride month starts in three days. Pride isn’t brought to you by T-Mobile and Absolut Vodka. It was brought to you by drag queens, trans women throwing bricks. By lesbians and queer women taking care of gay men dying of AIDS in the face of an intentional government neglect. End ID.
Holy crap this is so important. we need to make sure not to lose the concept of pride in all the advertising and the “we support pride” from companies that haven’t done shit.
Gonna also mention Pride Month was created by Brenda Howard, a bisexual Jewish woman.
