    Well black gays have not really gotten anything like real inclusion among the white* 'gay community' IMO so good for black gays.

    I see it looks like Roy G Biv got included, but what is the white triangle for? Anything in particular? The fist speaks for itself and has historical context and has been brought up in the general media lately what with the Olympics now and what happened in 68.

    * I hate the term 'Gay community'..there really is no such thing.

    The comments I've seen so far haven't been in favor of the triangle.People were saying it's distracting.I like it though.It creates a nice background for the fist.

    Maybe they should of consulted with Cleo Mango. I like the symbol he created for his organization.

    or like this even though it has nothing do with being gay. FYI its a icon of Hapi the ancient Egyptian God of the Nile river.

    I would of liked them to of not of used the rainbow colors to me it correlates to mainstream (white) lbgt community's flag. Maybe use red black and green that's traditionally used in Pan-African flags. But I give them an A for effort for whoever created it.

    I am ok with the colors-I think they are associated with just gays worldwide now-not just white gays. Those flags are all over the world, in Africa, South America, Asia, etc.-I think the rainbow has gone way beyond white gays. JMHO

    I wonder what straight blacks will say about gay blacks using the 'black power fist' of the Civil Rights Movement? -will there be a backlash?

    I just don't get the white triangle-the pink triangle is from the Nazi concentration camps- everyone had a symbol-Jew had the star of David(yellow I think, gays had the Pink Triangle they had to wear. I don't know how a white triangle fits in though. Nazi concentration camp badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A for effort. It's ok. Not a slam dunk for me tho.

    I dunno, I could do without the white triangle. Or what about a white flag with that rainbow fist outlined in black? I think there are a lot of colors happening at the same time is all.

    BTW, @DreG where did u find this? I googled "fist black gay pride Montreal" to find a source so I could see their thoughts behind the flag...and came up with CA lol.

    I don't know what alternative intersex and alternative transgender are? What is the difference between Genderqueer and Non binary? WTF does genderqueer even mean really?

    If someone asked me to define 'Genderqueer' I am not sure what I would say. I guess 'non-heteronormative gender' and then they would ask, 'Well what does that mean?'

    Cleo is not apart of the gay / black gay community so I don't his input would matter.

    The triangle (usually pink/purple) has been a symbol of the gay rights movement for decades. I learned about it from a gay substance abuse counselor when I was in my teens.

    But hes still a black man attracted to other men; So what he identifies as SG.L He does work primarily effecting sgl, queer, bi, gay. msn, what ever you want to call its the same population segment of black people. He does have a particular view point concerning white gays but as a black sgl (gay,queer etc) people where still all on the same boat. It could also be I think he has a great unique logo lol.

    Yeah I just did not get the idea of the triangle being white, especially for a flag for people of color.

    *this is what I hate about the internet. I have no sense of tone, intonations, etc. Is this really shade-ish since I posted a link to this very subject and how it came about in this thread? Is there really an unsaid 'dumbass' at the end...no he would have just posted 'dumbass' if he thought it. LOL. Welcome back Ocky! Nobody makes me more suspicious on here! lol.

    I'm drawn to something simple like this. I prefer the term SGL anyway and the symbol stands out without being drowned in a rainbow background.
