I actually had no idea so I googled it. It stand for black and brown people. The adding of these colours was controversial, but some people claim that without black and brown activists, there would be no pride movement.
I don’t have no deeper knowledge on this topic, so I can’t really comment. But what started as a movement for LGBTQ+ people is now a movement for a whole lot of other people, all cramped into one ‘box’. Not sure what I think about that really.
The first pride was a riot where trans black women bricked cops in the Greenwich Village of Manhattan, in front of the Stonewall Inn. The LGBT movement existed before it, but essentially grew out of the riot, and that’s the justification many have for including minority races within the LGBTQIA+ flag. But, many say the inclusion makes it nothing more than a minority flag, and thus belittles it. People can argue over which side is right, but imo that argument distracts from the far more important things to focus on… such as trans women being one of the most common minorities to be murdered.

i know, it was a pun. in general,the lgbtq movement is ideologically interdependent with decolonisation and anti-imperialism. can’t be separated basically, as they fight against the idea of the subalternous classes and class division along such lines. i personally think the color red actually entails all of this, but hey, that’s just me…
It’s also representative of interracial marriage, particularly marriage between white and black/brown ethnicities. Which was seen in the West as just as bad as LGBTQ+ were seen as, not that long ago.
