The new flag (I’m not actually an expert on this history of this so forgive me for being inexact) I believe was created to coincide with a change in strategy, from a focus on just sexual minorities collaberating against oppressors, to a focus on “let’s find anyone else the oppressors are targeting and work with them too.” Not an effort to get them special treatment, but to signal explicitly that all sexual minorities, gender minorities, racial minorities, feminism, and anyone else can be/should be/are all on the same team and we will have each others back, and stand together against oppressors.

If it is simply a resistance to authoritarian oppression, then wouldn't that simply come back around to the Gadsden flag? A collective that lacks individual equality in liberty is, by definition, oppressive.
