Hot take but I'm not a fan of the modified pride flag. First, it's copyrighted. Second is that adding special interests defeats the purpose of making the flag all-inclusive. I get that there is a desire to recognize marginalized groups, but that was the purpose of the rainbow flag to being with. Unfortunately, even attempting discourse on the topic gets you accused of things. Fly what you feel best represents you though. If more people trend toward the modified pride flag then that's what represents them and what they want.

Edit: see the reply below, the copyright situation is different than I understood.

First, it’s copyrighted.

Just want to jump on this one quick. I get why this might be an issue but I think it's a bit of FUD. It's licensed under Creative Commons to keep corporate bucks off of it, where the ~~original~~ current pride flag is public domain and open to corporate greed.

Thanks for the info. I see why they did it then. Defensive copyright is fine for a good cause.

It looks like a lot of the copyright flak came from a now deleted tweet that didn't understand CC licensing. It happens.
