FBEL – An Upside Down Rainbow

I belong to a small (in the hundreds) community of social media folk who are LGBT and are all done with the bullshit of the alphabet mafia. The vast majority are Trump supporters. All of them are Conservative. All of the ones I’ve personally connected with are intelligent, forward thinking, well educated, and forthright. It’s been a breath of fresh air to be able to have conversations over why I disagree with some of the stuff going on right now (the BBB comes to mind), without getting trampled.

One of the ladies I follow is a big butch dyke. When I say big, I don’t mean fat. She’s stocky, muscular, a little bit masculine but definitely female, and she has the (if you’ll excuse the term) typical lesbian short haircut. She’s a Christian, an unabashed Trump supporter, and is married to a person who is not a Trump supporter. They provide a fairly balanced viewpoint of things, which I really appreciated during the election time.

This lady was recently told that she has to stop identifying as a lesbian. Because she has a masculine look to her, and she wears cargo shorts and high neck tees, she’s “trans masc” and therefore that’s what she needs to present as.

Let’s just say that this order didn’t go down well with the butch. LOL… She very clearly, very concisely, and very pointedly explained that “we the normal gays” are no longer part of the “rainbow community.” There may have been some four letter words, but most were beeped out because TikTok is like that. Let it be said, the butch was not the least bit interested in backing down from her personal viewpoint of her own lesbian self. In Leftist speech, they didn’t respect her pronouns so they’re dead to her.

That whole incident has led to a new movement, though, and I thought it was a good idea to let you all know about it. The first thing these few hundred LGBT people did was to “fix” the pride flag. They took off the “TIAA+” part (the triangle on the left side) and replaced it with a purposefully poorly tacked on other regular rainbow.

 

Note, this is my version of it. I wanted you to get the idea. Basically, the idea is that if the alphabet mafia doesn’t want anything to do with “normal” gay folk, then they can go. And they should take their part of the flag with them.

The second thing they did was reclaim the rainbow. Keep in mind, these are largely Christian people. Not only did they lose their “gay” rainbow to the alphabet mafia, they lost their Biblical rainbow. So they took it back. Now, they’re doing an upside down rainbow. The upside down rainbow is meant to look like a smile. It represents both the original basis of the rainbow flag (solidarity, wanting to be a part of the greater human community, etc.) and the idea that God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.

I rather like it. So if you see someone with an upside down rainbow, they’re probably a gay Conservative. I might start sporting this one myself. And again, that’s my version of the smile. 🙂

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Except if you’re a Progressive.

    1. See my reply to AL. Diversity means accepting those who apply without basing stuff on their skin color or race or gender. What I do, what WE do, is real diversity. Base opinions on people’s behavior and actions, with perhaps a nod to their culture if it’s germane. Equality for all.

  2. Thanks for this- I enjoyed reading it and look forward to updates on this topic in the future.

    1. Welcome! I try to give a bunch of different viewpoints, as much as I’m able to. For me, that’s true diversity.

    Funny how the most “tolerant” people have no tolerance for those they disagree with.

    1. It’s being noticed. A lot of folks on the upside down rainbow side of things are pointing it out. It’s refreshing, to me at least.

        Is also an object – and ominous – lesson re the general Progressive approach, I think.

        (Not to mean not refreshing, and that people are noticing – that’s good! I mean, rather, that to the Progressive moment, enough is never enough, and it leaves a trail of discarded people. Always driving for more/better/etc. can be a powerful force for good in the world … Or not, depending on how applied.)

  4. That’s kind of mirrored my feelings about the “LGBTQIAA+” spectrum for a while, and someone else recently put into words the key disconnect that had been tickling my subconscious.

    Paraphrasing: ‘L’, ‘G’, and ‘B’ are orientations; they represent who you love or are attracted to. All the rest are identities, and represent how you want the world to acknowledge you.

    That is a fundamental difference in the purpose and scope of the “rights” movement, and it shows how the movement has been hijacked in recent years, usurping the strong base the previous movement had already built, to become something it was never intended to be.

    “LGB” rights are largely established. Same-sex marriage — with all the legal and social rights and privileges that go with it — is the law of the land in all 50 States, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is prohibited at the federal level. For a movement devoted to equality, having the same rights as anyone else is about as equal as it gets.

    So what is it that the “TQIAA+” folks want that hasn’t already been won?

  5. Quick question, is anyone else experiencing issues with the main site page being COMPLETELY borked on the formatting, to the point of nigh-unusability? It started happening to me 3 or 4 days ago and hasn’t been fixed yet. Fortunately, the pages for individual posts are still normal (if you can get to them).

      I mentioned it a couple days ago. Seems I have been moderated out.

      I have been mulling whether to point it out but assuming that awa was aware, perhaps mistakenly.

    all of the “controversial” stuff is a great example of politics RUINING everything.
    personally any time I see a “rainbow” I avoid that person/place.
    I dont care what/who you are until you try to force me to.
    upside down rainbow- great idea
