Description: Black and brown stripes are being added to the rainbow pride flag, and the internet is curiously shaken about it. The City of Philadelphia decided to add the stripes in an effort to recognize queer people of color. The campaign, titled "More Color, More Pride," is getting some negative push-back online, and I wanted to address what I think is a huge overreaction among the gays I've seen on social media. Please let me know your thoughts about the adjusted pride flag and Philly's #MoreColorMorePride campaign in the comments.
