Ah, this made me look up "Progress Pride flag" for a detailed explanation, which I should certainly know as a member of the queer community. It's discouraging, to say the least, to be a member of multiple communities that are being targeted in such drastic ways. It's encoraging to see people standing together in support.
Thank you for this. Our congregation recently de-gendered our restroom signs to read “stalls only” and “stalls and urinals”. When I saw this, I was so grateful of our radical hospitality. But I do know at least one person approached the board about being uncomfortable with it. I say let’s lead into the discomfort and welcome everyone in authentic ways.
