    As a trans woman, I often feel excluded from pride events (search for tans march at Toronto pride to get an idea where I am coming from) and the progress flag helped me feel included. So it’s what I fly. Removing these marginalized groups and putting your own logo in place is a bit insulting.

    • If you were excluded, it was by people, not a flag. I get where you’re coming from, but there is nothing wrong with the standard rainbow flag and putting their logo in the same space the progress flag uses isn’t an attack on trans people.

        Okay. I’m wrong that the additions made by the progress flag helped me feel included. Thanks for pointing that out.

        My problem is that they used a flag design meant for inclusion and removed the inclusive parts. Why is everyone so upset that I didn’t like it?

          Who said they used the progress flag? It could very well be based on the rainbow flag.

          And I didn’t say the progress flag didn’t make you feel included. I said the rainbow flag didn’t exclude you. Those are very different statements. It’s objective vs subjective.

          Your words came off that you felt these people are doing something negative when I’m willing to bet the creators of the flag were trying to be more inclusive. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
