As a single, straight adult white women whom is approaching middle age. to me it just screams oppression.
and yes I think the single part is relevant it already affects life when you are on your own about where you feel safe going and at what time of day, that oppressive flag symbolises even more places being unsafe to go.

For me personally this is the exclusionary flag. I am not gay, trans, queer, black or brown. This flag tells me I am not welcome or included. The rainbow flag didn't feel like that because it was about a specific thing: same sex attraction. This is the let's throw race in there just cuz it'll legitimize our insane position flag
I also find it interesting as a woman I cannot gather with other women (real women) publicly anymore without being the potential creepy TiM coming in, yet women are not represented on this flag.

This flag makes me very sad. It's impossible to ignore that every single person in the entire world is supposedly represented by this flag except straight white people. It's a flag for people to unite against their oppressor, but I don't feel like an oppressor, and my children are certainly not oppressors. But hey! Any straight white person can easily opt out of the oppressor class by just identifying as any number of flavours of "queer." It's a blatant "us vs. them" move and it is so clearly not the right way forward. Every single public building and business in my city has this flag on their front door with the message "everyone welcome." But I'm not welcome, and my kids are not welcome. This flag tells me as much. I know that the whole movement is stupid, and that people are simply not thinking about what they're really saying, so I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just feel so hopeless because where I live is all in on this flag and this ideology.

Misogyny, racism, and homophobia. That's what I see when I look at this ugly ass flag.
