    I can list my top 100 straight couples in mainstream media of all time. Going back only a decade in cinema. Can you list 100 of your favourite gay couples in such a time? If so, can you give me some reccs? Also do you honestly think that folks weren’t endlessly discussing interracial coupling...

    Oh I freely acknowledge that. It’s just…..boring. Like at least the blue and pink one is kind of fun. But I’ll stick to the rainbow one. Like I said before, it’s never symbolised exclusivity to the straight community. I’ve always been welcomed with open arms and happily shared my drunken...

    Is it bad that I find that so absolutely boring that I prefer the pride flag?

    I do not condone someone being discriminated for being straight. But if you constantly push your own lifestyle in society for literally centuries then have a whinge just because the other side does so for a little while, then I’d hope you’d know that I’d instinctively react against such...

    It is indeed. And all I see on the news, social media and indeed in real life is “conservatives” (which does differ according to your location) constantly whining that they’re not centre of attention anymore. Meanwhile the other side is constantly crying out for equal rights, socially and...

    Do we have a flag? If so, fly it alongside. I don’t see any issue. But straight people constantly constantly push their lifestyle in other people’s faces. What goes around comes around. Now it’s our turn. Suck it up, Princess. I say that as a straight person

    Christ. If that doesn’t describe the American Evangelical movement, I don’t know what will. Like holy hell. From what I’ve seen, those guys are always whining about gay people, trans people, women even and cry every time society tells them no. Biggest snowflakes ever. And they constantly (from...

    Awww It was actually a random Nick Nack shop here (I don’t know if that translates well?? You guys have that, right?) The owner’s son I think married a lady from an Islander community. As is my understanding. So they displayed such flags all over the place. She’s a nice lady

    Do all these communities have their own flags? I feel like I’ve seen a couple of them around, but I don’t want to presume anything, if I’m mistaken. Like I swear I saw an Asian Pacific pride flag somewhere. But it could have just been a generic Pacific Island pride flag lol

    Why though? Why deny this to run of the mill organisations? Should they not be allowed to express their support for certain causes, if the organisation wants to, seemingly? I mean, if a gaming community displays a pride flag, despite many gamers being homophobic (and being a life long gamer, I...

    Not really. At least not in my view. Granted our police aren’t nearly as despised as the US cops seemingly are right now. They don’t make a good case for themselves, I’m just saying. Their PR is slightly better right now lol (When I visited family in California, not even kidding, the travel...

    If he’s part of the organisation he can choose to ask permission to fly the flag at said organisation. A request that may be granted Again I fail to see the issue

    Maybe someone in the organisation comes from an Italian background? I mean that's one possible explanation. There’s a local book club near me that prominently displays the British flag, despite me living in Australia. I don’t think anyone here who visits it has even mentioned it, never mind been...

    If you’re inconvenienced by a mere display of something (rainbow flag, Italian flag, a Nintendo flag) that’s kind of you, mate. Like ngl, I can’t remember the last time I was so offended at a piece of fabric that I had no other alternative than to excuse myself from the area. I mean a Nazi...

    You’d leave if they displayed the Italian flag and nothing else? I mean that’s entirely your choice. But still. Damn. That’s a bit weird, ngl

    The people who run and/or are a part of said organisation? Obviously Is this a community that is solely AI or something? Like what? An organisation can say what they want to in the US, can’t they? Again I thought you guys loved free speech The flag was displayed. One would assume this came as a...

    Okay so then they exercised their first amendment right (I thought Americans were supposed to highly value that?) to display a flag that they wanted to. Presumably. I mean why else would an organisation display such a thing, right? Are you opposed to free speech or something? Should an...

    And as a consequence they get to exercise their rights as a person. Companies largely don’t care, they will follow media and social trends to appease PR. That’s it. Who cares?
