I mean, that’s pretty damn queer-centric don’t you think? The actual and potential victims of fascism go way beyond just queer people. And there’s plenty flags, both now and historically, that are linked to antifascism. Most of them aren’t red, white and black
Plus I’ve always found the progress pride flag kinda ugly, but that’s just personal. As a queer person who’s into vexillology, a fair few of our flags have that problem. It’s also been used by so many capitalists to falsely give themselves the appearance of being egalitarian
the whole point of the rainbow flag is to not put a representation of literally everything you can think of, and instead using the rainbow (which IRL contains all the colours we can see) as an umbrella.
So yeah no let’s ignore that and just slap on one symbol for every specific identity we can think of, oh hey if you squint your eyes the flag is just white now!
