It feels like we just celebrated the Trans Day of Awareness, and then along comes Lesbian Visibility Week. We apologize for letting it slip past us on Monday, but fortunately, we had Alejandra Salinas of the Houston City Council to remind us on Tuesday and to introduce us to the lesbian pride flag, which we'll admit we didn't know existed.
This Lesbian Visibility Week, I’m proud to serve as the first openly LGBTQ+ Latina elected to Houston City Council. Our city is stronger when everyone feels seen, valued, and represented.

We sure do miss our lesbian White House press secretary. Did she mention she was the first black and queer press secretary?
I don't recognize it, is that the narcissism flag?

Literally everyone is sick to death of gay propaganda. Nobody cares. Read the room.

People knowing about your sexuality doesn't make a stronger city, doing your job does

Seriously? We’re still doing this?

We're guessing Joe Biden's White House would have put out a video or something.
When did they change the flag? pic.twitter.com/XBS8YQZ8Yl

How are lesbians not visible? Does everyone just not see the parade of shaved heads, flannel, and Subarus?

Gross. We don't need to know and we don't care.

All of this just to feel special

What flag is that? I don’t think I’ve actually seen that one before

We'd come across a diagram that pointed out what each strip of the flag stood for, but we've misplaced it. We remember that the top stripe is for "gender nonconformity."
Name one day when a complete narcissist like you doesn't make yourself the most visible center of attention, you grifting POS.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve see all week.

Wow, the first openly LGBTQ+ Latina elected to the Houston City Council. History is being made, folks.
