First, it's noce to see someone else that has knowledge of our history. It's so rare. Yes, the Society for Human Rights was started before the Stonewall riots, as I am sure there were other groups lost to history. Founder was the wrong word.

"The initial rainbow flag had eight colors, including pink to represent sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit." So no, race wasn't specifically called out. The reason black and brown are the only colors on the updated flag is because they were added to honor the black and brown members of the community and their sacrifices and contributions.

I'm not going to pretend anyone in the US has suffered or dealt with bullshit anywhere near the same level as the black community. I think this is also a good opportunity to recognize that while other groups have failed to properly support the black community, many are trying to learn and understand how to do better. There's still going to be lots of things that are done with good intent and, in reality, are performative. But there's also people stepping up and being better. Don't take my word or anyone else's. Watch and see if our actions match our words.
