      Lol please, I’m not complaining about white people not being in there as much as I mean to criticize that you can’t represent everyone on a flag by skin color. That would have to be every color. I think it’s ridiculous to even aspire to add these extra colors, because it negates what the rainbow is supposed to represent,

          So if white is a shade of brown, then why is that stripe there? To signify what? That we all have skin?

              I don’t want a flag that doesn’t include everyone for some weird queer theory or hetronormative analysis reason. 🙂😉

              And that’s why the rainbow is enough. It speaks beyond all these complications. Adding brown to it implies that brown people were not part of the rainbow, that more need to be added. All we really needed to do was indicate that brown people like any people fall under the same gay flag, regardless of the current existing social dynamic relating to race.
