That pride flag is an eyesore. The colours don't go together already (natural colours, pastels, AND earthly colours) but moving the arrow to the middle makes it look even worse.
Yeah, I get they're trying to be even more inclusive, but isn't a rainbow used because it includes every color in the visible spectrum? Everyone, no matter their orientation or anything else, is included. Obviously the rainbow is segmented because it looks nicer, but it's not like every segment is supposed to represent a group, right? We don't need to include brown/black/whatever to include people of those skin tones, right?
If we didn't need a brown stripe to represent people of colour, then there wouldn't be any racism in the queer community. The fact that some queer people are racist is why the rest of us decided to fly a flag with a more explicit message.
Also the black stripe is for victims of the AIDS crisis
