I really don’t like the design of the progress pride flag, and I couldn’t really put my finger on it until I saw this: https://nava.org/good-flag-bad-flag

For reference, here is the flag I’m referencing as “bad flag”:

And here is the original:

So, the original has too many colors, but it’s the colors of the rainbow. In order. It’s recognizable from really far away, and it’s dead simple to draw.

With the Intersex flag, that’s 14 colors. There are three shades of “purple”. The circle won’t be visible from far away. The chevrons are too thin to be very recognizable from far away.

It’s not like there aren’t good pride flags. Like there are AMAZING ones:

Edit:

    Hot pink - Sex
    Red - Life
    Orange - Healing
    Yellow - Sunlight
    Green - Nature
    Turquoise - Magic/Art
    Indigo - Serenity
    Violet - Spirit

    I’m seeing on Wikipedia that the original colors represented stuff like sunlight and life. Who was excluded by these categories?
