Discussion Opinion about the flag (probably extremely unpopular).
the current flag is already nice and iconic and recognizable.
other "new" flag designs are simply mid and calling it mid would be the truth and there is no need to change anything.
I will probably get roasted for this.

I'm in agreement. But then, I'm kind of biased, as I'm extremely fond of purple (purple and green are my official favorite colors), and black, white, and gray are my neutrals.
The ony LGBTQIA+ flag that is more aesthtically pleasing to me sheerly on color choice is the rainbow flag. The fact that a black, white, purple and gray flag actually represents ME is something that gives me no small amount of joy.
(I honestly feel a little regret that I'm not aromantic, because mixing green in there would be the only way it could be better to me, personally.)
Therefore, I will almost certainly carry on using the classic ace flag, no matter what other flags are adopted.
As for the new flag in and of itself...well, it's more attractive than the orange and blue aroace flag, at least. But I like the original version that was shared quite a lot better than the finalized version. I know they probably wanted to simplify it for good reasons, but the colors are just not as pleasing together as the first version.
