Isn't it about time to add cis to the LGBTQ+ community?
That way we can make them get angry with themselves for being part of the group, or make them accept the rest since they now belong to them.
..no?
We're all already humans, and they don't seem to treat that as an in-group, so why would it change with a different label?
How about a community that includes everyone?
That should be the human race.
Correct-- humanism is equality. But some people don't want humanism, for whatever fucking reason.
love the downvotes. never change, internet
There is a neofetch alternative that specializes in pride flags. Someone submitted a PR to add the "straight pride" flag, and it was rejected on the basis that it wasn't a "marginalized community".
Like bruh, do you want equality or not?

I think it's okay for a queer app to focus on queer shit and not associate with a label which is overwhelmingly used to virtue signal being a bigot, that's not really an attack on equality.
I feel like it is an example of the paradox of tolerance.
I would also reject such a pull request. Straight folks aren't systematically shamed for being straight. They don't need pride to counter nonexistent shame.
why can't everyone be included? wasn't that the whole point?
no
A neofetch for pride flags?
What? How would that even work and why?
Isn't neofetch a tool to see basic stats about an OS and Distro?

That answers the how, I guess.
