The wine, not the label.
While being at a party awhile ago, my friend asked his boyfriend something along the lines of: 'wasn't there just one Pride flag? What's going on with all these colors?' He was talking about some cute magnets on the fridge door that had several LGBTQ+ flags.
The answer I gave was: representation.
And this may be true even though we don’t understand the terms used by some people to refer to themselves or when we are not those specific colors of the rainbow, we should be aware of what they mean and understand that they represent people just like us.
It’s not that there are more letters in the acronym, it’s that more people know who they are. We may not be that specific letter in the LGBTQ+ umbrella , nor interested in pursuing some specific kind of relationship and yet we can be aware of the term. Because one should never say never.
Who knows? You may be Poly and don’t know it…

As we understand gender and gender identity and sexuality, our flag will change to be more inclusive and there's nothing wrong with more inlcusivity.

I just don't understand the 'separation'.

Big says,
ReplyDeleteA writer friend explained that to me several months ago when I saw someone on a street corner waving a flag that was (in my knowledge) LGBTQ...but not. Welcoming them under the umbrella is what we should be about.

That's a good friend!
DeleteThere's not 'more' flags. It's that people are able to pinpoint who they ARE.

The underlying characteristic is queerness and that's all that's needed to be a member of our club!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's it, people!
DeleteWe have a winner!!

ReplyDeletePeople and relationships are complicated. As we gain more knowledge (science!) we gain more understanding of each other. The brain and our bodies lead us to where we need to be. Like the universe, our community continues to expand.

Duh
DeleteThat's what I tell everybody who raises an eyebrow. This post is fab, babes.

Inclusivity and representation are what matters
ReplyDeletePrecisely.
DeleteAnd we should not exclude anybody, just because we are not THEM.
XOXO
Everything started out as a 1 because everything has a beginning, it's when 2s and 3s happen that we have growth and understanding.
ReplyDeleteWell put.
DeleteI guess that's why I try not to judge??
XOXO
Human sexuality is far more complex than people and the experts realize.

That, also.
DeleteThere's more than the binary but some people really do not want to see that. It scares them.
