TIL that there's a pride flag to represent queerness itself.

"Queer is an identity in and of itself that more and more people are choosing to identify with. It is a sort of label for those who don’t want to put themselves in a box. Often considered a movement, queer people are those who fall outside of and/or renounce the cultural norms around sexuality, gender identity, and/or gender expression.

The word queer can mean different things to different people, but the most accepted definition is someone who is not cishet or someone with variant experiences with orientation, gender, and/or sex."

Oh, I see! Yeah, I get that. I'm queer, and I love all the different color combinations, but I do get a bit of... "flag fatigue" sometimes. It can be a bit overwhelming especially when new ones pop up and I don't know what they mean.

Having an all-encompassing LGBTQ flag is nice to fall back on.
