Suppose it’s a bit like the whole GNU/Linux stuff but with more of a subconcious prescence attached. What was once just ‘LGBT‘ which itself had been redundant enough by specifying homosexuality twice for either gender before finishing with bisexual and trans(sexual/gender).

Just ‘LGBT‘ alone did a pretty good enough job at encompassing the queer community in its entirety through those four umbrella terms. It was only when identity politics became prominent and subsequently dominated the movement that there was a need to be inclusive of everyone and not just the gays. That resulted in the ‘LGBTQIA+‘ we have now and the subsequent bastardization of their flag.

Elagarianism is great, I truly do appreciate the sentiment behind the interest in expanding a community to encompass all vulnerable minorities and have a rich, diverse tapestry of culture. Though there comes a point where if you market something to every possible demographic, then the message or culture surrounding it eventually becomes diminished as it evolves beyond the scope of what it originally had been into something generic. That is why I am a strong proponent of patriotism for a country. To love and celebrate the positive aspects of a country’s history or culture that came to shape and subsequently define what it is today.

Though in the interest of making tangible progress on the many social issues that specific people face, I do honestly feel it is far better to have multiple smaller movements which focus on and address a specific issue than several. Likewise, while I do believe that foriegn immigrants whether they be on a working visa or are have acquired citizenship should be accomodated within the scope of what is equitable. I do feel that a line should be drawn when those people try to undermine the culture of a country or otherwise impose their ideals or that of their homeland or religion on the natives. The grooming gangs of England and predominently Islamic streets where Shia law is enforced throughout is absolutely unacceptable. When you arrive in a country whether that be for work, seeking asylum or to simply enjoy a better quality of life. You should be expected to observe the laws and culture of that country secondary to your own.

Not everyone is going to be Muslim, therefore you should not assume that everyone must adhere to the same religious laws or tradition as you. When Tisha b’Av rolls around, you don’t see supermarkets stop selling non-kosher foodstuff, do they? No, and such exceptions shouldn’t be expected for Islamic or Christian beliefs either. After all, how do you think I would fair doing the same in a predominently Islamic country in North Africa or the Middle East? Not very well I’d imagine so why should such be the case in western countries.

@Maholmire
If one person infiltrated the left and said "I refuse to call it 'The N word'; I prefer 'The letter before O, word'", they'd all start fearfully doing that in an instant.

Look at the gay flag; it has brown and black in it, and it will only get more bloated with time as they're all too terrified of being the one guy to say "Uh, maybe shouldn't add, IDK, the Muslin Star and Crescent to it..."

If you guys go too the rally, please pick me up a swastika ring. I lost mine. I think a chick stole mine. Thanks
