@zaire@fedi.absturztau.be "comission", shi says, as if we had any resources for that :D …you have a point though; it's a bit odd ^^

@tirifto@jam.xwx.moe @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu …since my understanding of copyright law is so little as to be barely existent, I definitely won't even begin to try and chime in on that ;)

@tirifto@jam.xwx.moe @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I once came across this comment regarding this: The progress flag isn’t about representation specifically - all LGBTQ+ people are represented by the rainbow already. The progress flag was designed to draw attention to where we have more work to do to ensure all of our community is making progress, unfortunately whilst as a whole community we’ve made progress it has not been equal and some parts of the community have not seen as much progress as the others. The arrows aren’t saying trans people weren’t represented by the rainbow, or that poc are LGBTQ+ automatically. It was a call to action for us as a community to recognise which parts of our community need focus to ensure they also make progress. It also reminds us of those we lost to AIDS and how we need to both continue to support people, and tackle serophobia in the community. (Although I'd personally prefer the intersex-inclusive pride flag, because the og progressive one comes with some copyright messiness)

@tirifto@jam.xwx.moe @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Admittedly I've never found it to be visually assaulting – but I've heard that from a whole bunch of folks, so… (I, for one, even have an "even more stuffed full of things" one (https://www.gay-shop.berlin/products/disability-inclusive-progress-pride-flagge-90x150-cm) for "RL use" :D) The commission has posted some variation on the intersex-inclusive flag Heh. I totally missed that ^^ re: copyright: According to https://publicservicepride.ca/resources/flag/ the intersex-inclusive one should be fine to use Use of the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag is permitted. However, Valentino Vecchietti, the creator of the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag, asks to be credited/acknowledged in association with its use. unlike the other one (https://northantslesbiansociety.co.uk/2023/02/28/why-we-will-not-use-the-progress-pride-flag/) at least ^
