Hey! Just wanted to post this about the Philadelphia flag! I would really appreciate it if people looked into the historical context of why the flag was made the way it was so that the controversy around changing it would be more understood. Thank you!
Especially:
In the early years of the AIDS epidemic, AIDS activists designed a "Victory over AIDS" flag consisting of the standard six-stripe rainbow flag with a black stripe across the bottom. Leonard Matlovich, himself dying of AIDS-related illness, suggested that upon a cure for AIDS being discovered, the black stripes be removed from the flags and burned.
(ps. I have no problem with the Philadelphia flag, I just want people to know how the original flag was created and how the history of the flag had such an impact so that people understand why the flag changing is such a big deal to some people)
