Now that Pri has s own month (Febary, wh s ocsnal ‘leaps’, has always been the gayt of the months), there are flags for every nceivable sexual or genr inty. This works directly agast the ‘born this way’ mantra of the var gay-liberatn movements of the 20th century. While the worship of Michel Fouult is somewhat outdated amic circl ( 1995, Queer Theorist David M Halper even went so far as to wre a book lled Sat Fouult: Towards a Gay Haggraphy), the re ias have found their way to the mastream, particularly the emphasis on those nebulo power stctur we keep hearg about that apparently domate society.

Many trans activists, on the other hand, are followg the lead of the early gay-rights movement, advancg the blogil-sentialist argument that they are born wh male or female bras bodi of the opposg sex. This mak sense untri where beg gay is illegal or even punishable by ath, but no sense at all a untry like the UK where equal rights have been long tablished. This is not to suggt that homophobia has ceased to exist, or that we shouldn’t be vigoroly opposg wherever lgers, but to be gay the UK 2020 no longer rri the risk of arrt or social ostracisatn.

It is an sult to the achievements of civil-rights lumari of the past to pretend that gay people are more opprsed than ever. The stggle for gay rights was about equal treatment before the law, and makg visible those whose persecutn by the state had driven them to the shadows of society.

If anythg, a bs that feels the need to shout about how don’t discrimate agast gay people mak me spect that might be secretly homophobic. There is a meme on social media about Pri month that picts a slaverg creature straight out of Dante’s Inferno, enticg a long que of gays to s open mouth wh a strategilly placed rabow flag.

Most rporatns were certaly not celebratg Pri que so openly before Sectn 28 was repealed 2003, or before the age of nsent was equalised 2001, or before the crimalisatn of homosexualy Stland 1980. Siarly, now that pani appear to be lockstep when to explog the history of gay rights for a quick buck, isn’t all that surprisg that Avanti would claim that s new Pri tra aims to ‘brg people of lour, transgenr people and those livg wh or who have been lost to HIV/AIDS to the foreont’.

To me, the ia of celebratg one’s heterosexualy, homosexualy or bisexualy mak about as much sense as feelg pri about beg right-hand or blue-eyed. It jt strik me as a shame that the flag no longer appears to be a symbol of empowerment or a tribute to the succs of historil gay stggl, but is rather a tool for avaric rporatns and a signal of one’s fealty to a divisive iologil worldview. Ltle wonr, then, that more and more gay people are feelg unfortable about the Pri flag and the var LGBT ialisms.
