Anyway, the actual reason why I am writing here is another: the core problem at hand.
openSUSE and the free software movement is a political movement at its core. I think at least most people know that.
LGBTQ is made up of two parts: LGBTQ people (I don't know if that's the right term here, but I hope everyone understands what I mean) and the political movement about bettering their position in societies.
A lot of people like to separate different political movements. They want to have one community for one thing (e.g. the free software movement) and another for another topic (e.g. the political movement part of LGBTQ). Depending on where somebody comes from that can be the norm or weird. Same goes for mixing different topics.
Now, what is the meaning flying this flag? Well, that depends on who you ask, but it can very well be interpreted as supporting the other political movement which a lot of people may not like, even if they support it.
As you can maybe imagine from that, it means that there will always be people who will be against flying this flag, I even know of a lot of LGBTQ people who do for this reason (besides the fact that it barely even does anything; it was originally meant to make them known, but at this points this is the case, but I digress).
Right. Not all the LGTBQ people support the LGTBQ political movement, which is represented by the rainbow flag.
Last but not least, I want to say two things here:
1. Not flying the flag does not mean accpeint homophobes.
[...] Exactly. Some years ago openSUSE didn't use the rainbow flag. Was the openSUSE Community less tolerant back then? Greetings, -- Javier Llorente
