There are now so many “official” flags of the various
component groups of the LGBTG-Pride movement in existence that it’s hard to
keep track of them all. There is the basic, garden-variety Rainbow Flag. Also,
the Asexual Flag, the Genderqueer Flag, the Pansexual Flag, the Bear Flag, the
Bi Pride Flag, the Leather Pride Flag, the Lesbian Pride Flag, the Gay Pride
Flag and the Transgender Flag, just to name a few. (If you don’t think I’m
serious, Google it/them). I don’t even know what some of them mean, or where
they came from.
What I am curious about, as we are about to
start running these flags up real, “official” flag-poles, is what would cause
LGBTG leaders to lower their flags to
half-mast out of sorrow and/or respect, much as the American flag has been
flown lately.
Would
it be the soaring price of dental dams? The cancellation of “Glee,” “Modern
Family,” or “the New Normal?”
What is
the proper way to handle these flags? When, exactly, should they be flown?
Inquiring
minds want to know!
