Words and symbols often have deep — almost subconscious — meanings.
The LGBT+ community have tapped into the use of colour in their Rainbow flags to communicate strong messages. We are slow to recognise that groups like Trans-groomers and paedophiles are using similar colours. Their flags have a strong paedocentric message: “We’re coming for your children.”
THE PRIDE FLAG
The Pride flags all started in 1978 with the original 8-colour Rainbow Flag, but even by 1979 the 6-colour flag was the standard Rainbow Flag (some simple issues such as access to certain colours.)
The core flags have developed into over 50 unique flags representing the subdivisions within the community. (Such as: Abrosexual; Agender; Androgyne; Aromantic; Asexual; Bigender; Bisexual; Butch Lesbian; Demiboy; Demigender; Demigirl; Demisexual; Drag & Drag Feather; Gay Bear Brotherhood…etc.)
The main Pride flag was modified recently to be more “inclusive.” Black & Brown were added for interracial colours with light blue, light pink and white, to represent the Transgender community — see the Progress Pride flag below, left.
Afterwards, the circle and yellow Intersex triangle were added, culminating with the ‘Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag’ on the right.
PAEDOPHILES / MAPs / NOMAPs
Paedophiles are organizing under the MAP [Minor Attracted Person] and NOMAP [Non-Offending Minor Attracted Person] banners in an attempt to seem innocuous and gain acceptance under the Pride banner.
Paedophiles have developed several flags since 2009, though none are mainstream and none are accepted officially as a Pride Flag. The 2018 version seems to be the most prevalent. (Link to the site is withheld.)
TRANS & PEDO FLAGS
The Trans flag has light blue for boys & men, (“the traditional masculine color”??) pink for girls & women and white representing “transitioning.”
Light-blue is not the typical adult ‘masculine’ colour: similarly light pink for adult women. Comparing to the Rainbow Pride and the paedophile flags, this seems to represent underage Transgendered primarily.
The 2018 paedophile flag has light blue for young boys; medium blue for older boys; pink for young girls; medium pink for older girls; white for innocence and virginity. Yellow is representing childhood and the attraction to minors.
COLLAGE OF 3 FLAGS
The Transgender flag is now represented in the Progress Pride and Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flags which is unfortunate because of the similarities with the paedophile flag. (See below.) That strongly implies that paedophiles have been accepted under the LGBT+ banner. Thankfully this is not the official position.
The first collage is with three flags blended together to show the similarities.
The second collage has arrows directly indicating the colour similarities.
TOLERANCE
It is one thing to tolerate adult choices.
It is another thing to accept the abuse of children and adolescents — especially the abuse of the most vulnerable children and adolescents. Many with gender dysphoria later discover that they are Gay and grooming them into transitioning is the worst form of Conversion Therapy. Also, the “evidence from 10 available prospective follow-up studies from childhood to adolescence indicates that childhood gender dysphoria will recede with puberty in ~80% of cases.”
The colours of the Transgender flag show the focus on children: this must change. When it does, hopefully they will change the colours in their flag and remove the light-blue and light-pink. (White has no age or sex significance.) The Progress Pride & Intersex-IPP Flags should then follow suit.
In the mean time, perhaps the LGBT+ community will think twice about “Hoisting the Colours” of the Progress Pride and Intersex-IPP flags, which now have inadvertent references to the paedophile / MAP / NOMAP flag.
Changing these colours should become a matter of pride for the LGBT+ community!
