    For clarification, the lesbian flag in the human merch wasn’t upside down, it was the old lipstick lesbian flag that isn’t used anymore because the creator was found saying racist and transphobic things. Also, deadpool is on some of the merch because he canonically likes all genders!
    Edit: the flag is just referred to as the pink flag not necessarily the lipstick lesbian flag! The lipstick lesbian flag is the same colours but has a lipstick mark on it. The point still stands either way, people changed the flag because the beliefs of the original flag does not match the beliefs of most lesbians, the new orange flag is used because it’s more inclusive of masculine presenting lesbians and transgender lesbians!

    As an bi Disney fan, I completely agree with the Disney statement in regards to their support and values on LGBTQIA+ matters! For years, they queer-coded vllians and while making a bit more of an effort to showcase more complex characters, they somehow managed to put proper representation for multiple communities (lgbtqia+, POC & WOC, disabilities) on the back burner for literal decades; not to mention the creators who desperately WANT to give proper representation for said communities are given so much crap by Disney that sometimes their passion projects are often heavily revised or just scrapped altogether.
    It literally took the next heir of Disney coming out as trans airing out of the companies demons and dedouncing their backstage support for Anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians and bills for Disney to actually start making a change. But only time will tell if Disney is wiling to put in the effort in the long run...
    ...tho with the release of their PRIDE collection, they're off to a pretty rough start.

It's honestly not enough though and there needs to be more. Tbh, I'm more of a Kingdom Hearts fan than a Disney fan. I liked Disney as a kid and I like some of the villains, but other than that, I just feel that some of it is...samey or they stopped the artists from doing more of what they want with it, because the company is anti-LGBTQ+ and I've heard they're racist too, but I don't know about that one for sure, though I have a feeling they are.

I wish companies would stop using the pride flag in contexts where they’re specifically targeting gay men, and just start using the actual mlm flag.

      The rainbow was literally the only gay/queer/not-straight, not-cis flag in existence for long enough that most people associate it with the whole movement, as it was originally intended. If you want a specific one, you can have that. But it's not right to pretend the rainbow flag belongs to any one group, or excludes any group. Pretty much the only people NOT included in the rainbow flag, is/was straight, cis folk. I do agree that if you're going to include all the individual ones, it doesn't seem to make sense to include the rainbow all-inclusive pride flag. IDK, though, there's probably a few people who want it there. After all, you can't include EVERYONE'S individual flag, so it makes sense to use it in a "and the rest" sort of way.

    My biggest issue when people are like “omg queer rep in Disney” pisses me off because in things like adds when their is a family of two moms or two dads or someone who is not abiding to a gender norm no one understands that it’s there to be easily edited out so that they can still market to places like china who are very homophobic. They dint care about you only money. And when real representation is shown by artists in shows or movies they are put on hiatus and silenced because now those shows can’t be shown in certain places in the world and is risking their money. They don’t even put in the bare minimum. Alex Hersh, creator of gravity falls, was only allowed to give hints that characters where queer so that he wouldn’t get in trouble, (The two officers).

    if anyone is actually saying “we fought for this and you guys are shaming these companies,” no. the queer community didn’t fight for merch, they fought for equal rights. capitalism isn’t equal rights, it’s the exploitation of minorities. you can sell gay however you want to, but that’s not the same as being equal. the queer community still doesn’t enjoy equal status with the rest of society, so they’re fair game to exploit. besides which, these companies clearly don’t care about us, not only because they put their money towards anti-lgbt things, but because these designs are telling of how little they think of us. I mean, ‘lez is more’? from the phrase less is more? that’s like saying there’s too many lesbians here, while hiding behind the veneer of, “we put lez on a shirt, we’re supportive, give us money now!” it’s all fake bullshit.

    I think they put all of the different design elements into a big lottery machine and picked three per item at random. Many of these could have been improved with a little editing. Like, the rainbow fingerprint without any text on a black t-shirt? That, I'd wear. Not with the basic Pride plastered on top. Also, the distressed Human on the rainbow background, I legit read as Roman, and was already thinking about all those (un)intentionally homoerotic films about the Roman empire. The Target stuff looks down tight classy now.
    Oh, and Deadpool is claimed to be pansexual, I guess that qualifies him a queer icon.
    Was Walmart trying to settle the argument about bisexuals being transphobic (which is a false assumption) by making their flags share a letter, or is it that bi and trans folks only need half the pride everyone else gets? Somebody made that design. On purpose.
    And now I have to admit I wore a horrifyingly cheap, not-quite-the-correct-rainbow "love is love" t-shirt today. It's as bad as they come, but it's hella comfy, I'm poor, and I couldn't find the bi pride coloured earrings I handmade for myself anywhere. Happy Pride, no matter how you celebrate it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

    21:50 Trexes are actually specifically a transmasc thing because after top surgery our upper body mobility is very reduced for a while and we can’t reach anything. A reacher is a post op must 😛

    Netflix has an animation where the main character is a trans boy that’s called ‘dead end: paranormal park’ but the fact that he’s trans is only a small part of the story and isn’t brought up constantly. It’s really cool go watch it!!

    i absolutely agree with your point about newly out queer people, when I was 13 and had just came out I made the stupidest jokes about it because I was too insecure in my identity to take it seriously. Its honestly like the opposite of being proud of your identity.
