Members of the LGBTQ+ community are calling for a Pride flag that further incorporates Black, brown, and transgender voices. In June, the Castro Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Cultural District (CQCD) in San Francisco voted to replace the Pride flag in Harvey Milk Plaza which dons the original Gilbert Baker design.
The vote was petitioned to Castro Merchants, a non-profit business association that has rights over the flagpoles, according to CNN.
Following the vote, the Merchants will have the penultimate say on whether the flag change will be made. The CQCD Advisory Board voted in favour (7-2) to have the original Pride flag design changed to the Progress Pride Flag.
