First off, let me admit up front that as a straight white male who rejects state socialism, I know already that my opinion is irrelevant at best to the woke crowd. However, for those of you who retain a spark of sanity, let's take a look at this mess and dissect it a bit.

Wasn't the point of the rainbow flag to be inclusive already? It doesn't need to add anything. Trying to add elements for every possible subgroup is inherently exclusionary, since someone will feel overlooked.

Adding new elements only detracts from it.
