“Trans people were integral to the events of June 1969 that the Stonewall National Monument memorializes, and they’ve been an integral part of the movement for LGBTQ rights ever since, and they are part of the LGBTQ community,” said Andrew Berman, executive director at Village Preservation.

The trans activists are right, to be fair.

The only ones actively using the old pride flag are either people who don't know any better or trans-exclusionary groups such as the LGB alliance.

We can do better, so we should.

I only fly the original flag that we had before the rainbow one, although every crew had their own version.
