Hey guys remember when people started ace discourse on a post about the gay pride flag that was honoring the creator, who had just died? Because I sure as hell do.
Didn’t they say it was divisive since aces bi and trans people weren’t community members yet even though the flag was made in 1978 when both bi and trans people were already in the community and aces aren’t lgbt for being ace???
1978
LGB was the most popular acronym less than ten years ago in Australia. idk about anywhere else, but, dear god cis exclusionists and the “alliance of SGA and Trans” shit like this still isn’t a functional alliance by any standards. it’s 2017 and i still have to give a trans 101 any time i enter predominantly gay LGBT spaces
idk about when exactly bisexuality even became a term or made it into the acronym but I’ve got a strong suspicion 1978s a fucking stretch to say their inclusion was in any way agreed upon by then
like… the flag doesn’t cover everyone. it’s good shorthand but it’s not an umbrella. even lesbians get a separate flag this isn’t even new
