My hatred for the BBC grows with each passing day. I could understand (using their twisted logic) if they were trans pride pins, given their BBC’s status as TERF island enablers, but they were a progress pride and bisexual flag.

They still haven't forgotten they lost that culture war in their eyes. After this "war on trans" they are hoping to redo the "war on gays" again
