First rules...

Now that's out of the way- I just have to share something on this topic that's been bothering me for a while now. How long has it been that the gay/rainbow flag has been a 'thing'? When I perform internet searches, the articles claim it to be a thing for 40 years now, but (and maybe my head has just been in the proverbial sand and/or it just reach my neck of the woods) but I don't recall seeing the below flag until maybe just 10-15 years ago.

And... I'm not done. The other part of this that bothers me is when did the above flag turn into the below flag? Again, maybe my head has been buried in the sand but it seems that it changed to this just within the past 2-3 years...

So now that I've "showed my cards" am I alone here wondering what the heck is going on? Is this a Mandela Effect scenario I'm experiencing? Am I just that ignorant? The more important question that bothers me- WHO is designing and marketing these flags as being normal? In my bubble, these just showed up in their own respective timeframe and seemed to be universally accepted, marketed, and (literally) paraded.
In my mind, what these flags represent- this isn't a 'club', this isn't an 'organization', hell it isn't even a 'society' it's a minority group of an eclectic group of people that represents such a small portion of our citizenship and even amongst that component, in my limited experience, even they don't get along with each other and are far more divided than say the gun owner groups ("Fudd's", Revolver, Semi's, Bolt Action, 1911's, Glock's, etc. groups) yet they've apparently have the greatest marketing campaign and publicly positioned image being sold almost immediately and even amongst us firearm enthusiasts, veterans from all branches, hunters, anglers, whatever... how is it we have not been able to unify under the same banner?
I know this isn't the best thread for this rant that I embarked on- but hopefully I played by the rules and dang if this just doesn't bother the hell out of me. I'm far from perfect but I'm not schizophrenic either but this whole... movement, it just leaves me with the impression as evidence that we're in the middle of one of the largest PSYOP's ever leveraged on a global scale and this is just one component/evidence of such.
Maybe it's just me, if so- I'll drop continuing the discussion moving forward- I'm just so baffled anymore over the past 5 years or so and how society apparently changed and how quickly it occurred. Is it just me?
