Remember today when you see 100+ articles about how ‘civil’ and ‘noble’ H.W. Bush was that today is World AIDS Day. That 100,000 people, many LGBT+ individuals, especially gay men, died under his and Reagan’s watch. That he banned HIV+ people from entering the US, reduced research funding, and prevented educators from speaking about safe sex in favor of abstinence only education.
Being LGBTQ+ and walking into a space with a pride flag, you feel instantly safer and more secure.
This goes for any flag, trans, bi, ace, etc. They are all important and have so much meaning, it’s not just an aesthetic for an identity, it’s a clear, concise symbol of pride & acceptance.
