--- Quote from: Circlotron on June 15, 2023, 12:31:34 am ---The whole rainbow flag thing is just an example of co-opting. Here's an earlier example, from right here in Australia, no less. I actually had a copy many years ago. I wonder what people would make of it nowadays, seeing political correctness hadn't yet been thought of. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/30726/30726-h/30726-h.htm --- End quote --- And it has been the (official) flag of the city of Cusco, Peru, since 1978. |

I noted at my local pride parade last weekend, the lesbians and gay men marched behind their own flags in their own groups. Inclusivity and diversity is becoming somewhat 'decoupled' in the 21st century. I have no idea if there where any bisexuals, as there was no random group of people in between the L and G formations. As for the drag queens, they just looked fabulous as always. --- Quote from: VK3DRB on June 15, 2023, 12:22:49 am ---It really should be LGBTQIA+EE, where EE is Electronics Engineers whom by definition are a marginalised group, characterised by their interest in PNP and NPN bipolar junction transistors, P-channel and N-channel trannies, as well as both male AND female connectors. Other common characteristics include an inability to find a girlfriend. --- End quote --- We have our own flag but it's in a 'non-binary' state. Instead it can be tri-state. Let's just avoid that AC-DC rabbit hole ??? Anyone care to design a flag for the EE community? |

Or EE can mean Everyone Else so no-one is excluded and we can all live in harmony. --- End quote --- Most people are not Electronics Engineers, we are a marginalized group. We were oppressed for generations, as nobody identified as Electronics Engineers for centuries. And if you look back to history, it's the oldest profession: "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. " You know how much effort it was too build the power plant for that light and the distribution network, and the backup generators? Someone had to wire it all up, and even before that, someone had to design it. "And God saw the light, and it was good" it even passed the tests on the first try. |
