Talk:Pride flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From the LGBT article:
Controversy.
"LGBT is not uncontroversial. For example, some transgender and transsexual people do not like the term because they do not believe their cause is the same as that of LGB people; they may also object when an organization adds a T to their acronym when the level of service they actually offer to trans people is questionable. There are also LGB people who don't like the T for the same or similar reasons.
Many people also believe that a sharp distinction should be drawn between sexual orientation and gender identity. GLB concerns the former; TTI concerns the latter.
Similarly, some intersex people want to be included into LGBT groups and would prefer LGBTI; others insist that they are not a part of the LGBT community and would rather not be included in the acronym".

[edit] PS.
As for "pride flag" as a term, there are several different pride flags which represent "sexuality and gender identity-based cultures". I think that it is somewhat misled to suggest that the term "pride flag" refers specifically "to one of the flags of the LGBT movement". The "rainbow flag" does not have exclusive rights to the term.
