    I’d really like to know more about this. Google shows that there are a bunch of people selling this, or similar things like a rainbow Gadsden flag but it’s not clear to me who is actually buying them or what their intended message is.

    Is it a joke? Maybe they’re just trolling everyone?
    Do they not know what one or both symbols mean?
    Do they actually support the causes behind both symbols? (I saw one post that suggested it might be a different kind of “Southern Pride”)

      I mean, a rainbow Gadsden flag makes some kind of sense if you forget all the recent associations. At face value it could be as simple as saying that you don’t want the government to tread on your rights as an LGBTQ citizen. If you go one layer deeper and look at it as a symbol of the fight for freedom during the American revolution, it still works - Freedom for LGBTQ people to be who they are.
