That Jacob simply forgot to return the flag to its former colors is capable of creating an argument of this magnitude and "temperature" is simply astounding... I would like to suggest something that I hope will satisfy everyone, both now and in the future. Let me say at once that I was born in a place where homophobia and "traditional values" are currently being promoted at the state and public level. Moreover... My native language even has a separate swear word for homosexual men, and it is actively used as an insult. Despite this, I grew up a person who believes that LGBTQ people are just like everyone else (historically, physically, psychologically). And I partly understand how hard it is for them. After all, in my circle of friends and acquaintances (when I was at university), it turns out, there were people like that. They kept it a secret from society, from the state, and even from their parents. They were only able to feel free when they left. So I ask you to try not to be prejudiced against those who want to listen to me. I think you should... refrain from coloring these icons/logo's for every day. For newcomers, it can create uncertainty in the community. Does that mean there are exclusively LGBTQ people here? Or are there just more of them here? Or something else? It may not make sense to them until they find out for themselves that this is how openSUSE wants to express support for people from this group. Or worse, they might draw the wrong conclusions... which is what we see here. The simple white color that used to be (judging from the web archive) is completely neutral. It does not elevate, insult, put down, or support. How, then, does one express support? Well, first of all, according to СoC, openSUSE already expresses support by pointing it out in a document and giving them a field where they can be just like everyone else. They can be part of the community and even hold leadership positions here. I think that's what they miss the most - having the same rights and an environment where they are seen as just like everyone else. And, of course, I suggest that on days when they are supported (holidays, marches, maybe rallies), change the logo on reddit to LGBTQ colors. In doing so, not just make it the way it is now, but change it to those colors static (not dinamic as now). I'm convinced that when on any given day someone in the community (and this is, in fact, the community) specifically takes the time to express their support, it may expresses in the eyes of some an even greater interest in supporting such movements. Also, for those who are interested, if there is a question as to why that particular day, there will be an excuse to tell them about it. In any case, the decision, of course, rests with upper management. You do very cool and interesting things that are a lot of fun! I'll be glad if I'm helpful and reduce the likelihood of such pointless discussions... ----------------------------------------------- If TL;DR: - I suggest refraining from the symbolism of the LGBTQ movement for every day in place like reddit - for LGBTQ openSUSE already expresses support by treating them the same way it treats others (which they lack) - on days of support, change the symbolism into LGBTQ colors (static LGBTQ colors in reddit)
