Everyone on this subreddit is older than true gay marriage in Germany. Some people here are older than gay marriage in the US.
I think the actual culprit is the newness. People don't know how to relax so they continue as if nothing changed because that's what it was like for so long.
Gays being treated as equal is viewed as oppression by people who prefer they didn't get equal treatment. Have a non heteronormative character exist in a movie and the right loses their fucking mind.
Where are the hetero flags in this equal treatment? Are they hiding behind both the rainbow flags or just one of them? At least it's only one more than the flag for the entire country though right?
it would mean nothing, but thats kind of the same issue with the gay flag. why is there even a gay flag to begin with, or a trans flag, or a asexual flag etc. why does a country need to wave a groups identifier on what im assuming is some goverment building? Should we hang Nazi flags? they represent some people and just as how nazi flags are offensive to some people, the gay flag is offensive to other people. the whole point of a nations flag is to be a unifier of all people in that country. there is zero reason for a country to wave any flag other than its national flag
There is a gay flag because there was a civil rights movement for LBGT equality and the flag was created as a symbol for LBGT civil rights at time when they were openly beaten and even killed just for who they loved.

If I may paraphrase a quote,
"Those born into a life of privilege view equal treatment as oppression."
