The vast majority of the LGBTAH3DIAH$AHEISHW++™ shit is nothing more than a fad. You can see this in the polls. Every poll that comes out says that this community doubles every year, but when you actually look at the figures, the percentage of people who are genuinely LGBT is pretty low and it been relatively stable for decades. The new increases are in bullshit labels like "queer", "questioning", or some other shit like that. There's no meaning to them and there's no other point besides straight young people making up or misusing terms to seems cool, special, and unique to fit in.

I think it's a bit ridiculous how the pride flag was meant to show that humanity is on a spectrum of all kinds of sexualities in different amounts. But then the attention people wanted to start adding extra widgets, shapes, and colors to the flag that was supposed to represent basically everyone (or at least the non 100% straight people, depends on interpretation).

Go to the hood and tell a black dude walking around at two am that he has his own representation on the pride rev. d flag, right between the stripes for asexual and native Americans or whatever, and see what happens.
