Comment on What if LGBT adopts a white and grey striped flag to replace the rainbow? Then Florida would have to abolish crosswalks entirely.

It… is kind of a giant mess.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ) is a good summary but the modern rainbow color scheme is a somewhat recent iteration.

But much as “LGBT” has become “LGBTQ” and “LGBTQIA” and “LGBTQIA+” and so forth, so too have the flag added and removed stripes. And… a lot of that is intentional animosity since a shocking number of LGBTQIA+ folk are actually REALLY bigoted (the old “jokes” about how bisexual people need to “choose a side” and so forth) and it becomes a whole thing.
