Philadelphia PA, Philadelphia is redefining the LGBT pride flag.The city has a launched a new campaign, “More Color More Pride,” adding one black and one brown stripe to the traditional six colored rainbow. The new design will be, from top to bottom: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
“The black and brown stripes are an inclusionary way to highlight black and brown LGBTQIA members within our community,” said one source involved with the flag-raising event who asked not to be named. “With all of the black and brown activism that’s worked to address racism in the Gayborhood over the past year, I think the new flag is a great step for the city to show the world that they’re working toward fully supporting all members of our community.”
A spokesperson for the event would not confirm the new design, but in a statement described the flag reveal as “a special, can’t-be-missed unveiling and raising of a brand-new Pride flag which promises to be a step toward inclusivity, to spur dialogue within the community, and to impact the worldwide conversation.”
Lookin for input from the LGBTQ Black and Brown community. Will be inttoduced at Philly Pride this year.In 1978, artist Gilbert Baker designed the original rainbow flag. An iconic symbol of LGBTQ+ unity. So much has happened since then. A lot of good, but there’s more we can do. Especially when it comes to recognizing people of color in the LGBTQ+ community. To fuel this important conversation, we’ve expanded the colors of the flag to include black and brown. It may seem like a small step. But together we can make big strides toward a truly inclusive community. (Black Lives Matter Hudson Valley)
St. Louis gay activists blast Cardinals for holding ‘Christian day’ at ballpark

I’ve told you this all along. Gay activism isn’t really about homosexuals and their “rights.” It never has been. They’re just useful props.
.
It is, and always has been, about marginalizing biblical Christianity. And it’s working beautifully.
Here’s the gameplan:
1. Establish homosexuals as an oppressed minority grievance group. Check.
2. Establish the idea of “pride” for being gay. Check.
3. Pressure major corporations and other societal institutions to join in the celebration of “pride” on threat of boycotts, demonstrations and negative press if they don’t. Check.
4. Get in the faces of Christians and demand to know if they agree with the celebration of gay pride and gay marriage. If they don’t, demand apologies/ostracization/sensitivity training/firing/whatever.
5. If Christians who don’t join the movement cite the Bible as their reason, use this to establish biblical beliefs as “hateful” and “bigoted.”
.
Right now we’re in the transition between 4 and 5, and you see it playing out right now in St. Louis. The St. Louis Cardinals are getting ready for an event similar to one many teams in Major League Baseball hold every year, in which present and former players who are Christians share their faith and testimony with fans who attend the event. Gay groups have never protested this event per se, until this year. They are doing so now because the involvement of former Cardinal Lance Berkman gives them an excuse to do so.
