It would be unwise to assume that someone is adamantly demanding that these characters be considered as having these sexualities. It is highly likely that the color schemes and corresponding pride flags are a mere coincidence, sure, but why do we have to downvote it into oblivion? It's just for fun, right?


 
Also, I noticed this one, which has the inclusion of a heterosexual pride flag, is nearly identical to one without it, yet has less controversy and fewer downvotes. Why? I know some people that mstrenss theionr heterosexual pride atre actually are dogwhistling to anti-lgbt groups, but why would they be in this context, surrounded by our community? Context always matters, and allies are very important in the fight against hatred, intolerance, and violence. Please remember that folks. :)
