Does the pride flag contain texts calling for the murder and/or subjugation of certain groups of people??

I know you think that your snarky little quip is some kind of mic drop moment but take a second to realize that I'm not promoting the idea that the Gay Pride flag is a symbol of perversion. The opposite in fact. I fully support the LGBTQ movement in word, actions, and donations.

I'm pointing out that any symbol can be taken out of context and reinterpreted in a less than kind way to dilute the message of that symbol.

I'm trying to give you insight into the mindset of our most vocal opponents, but all of you fucking idiots can do is get snarky.

Sad that none of you can understand this.

Any symbol can be taken out of context, yes. But in religious books, where it literally commands the murder of certain people, that's pretty damn undeniably clear that it's a bad thing.

There's no required context to understand "if men have sex kill them both", for example. It's just bad.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
