It’s in The Sun, so I don’t feel like reading it, but I gotta say, that banner would make me feel the very opposite of welcome.
If all that gender chopped salad is welcome then gender skeptics are not welcome. Just for one thing, we don’t have a colorful stripey flag. We are aflagual.

Avexillological?
Aflaguality could become the latest trendy fashion. But Freudians would likely have a comment or two to make about a forest of erect, naked and flagless poles where modest flaguality was previously all the rage.
Times change; regrettably, not always for the better..
If those flags represent genders and sexualities then why are asexual (a person who does not feel sexual attraction) and agender (a person who has rejected gender identity and has none) included? The old quip about not stamp collecting being a hobby comes to mind.
We must overturn the heraldic hegemony!
I look at that proliferation of flags and labels and can’t help but think that there is a deep desire amongst some people to ensure they are extra special by splitting definitions and groupings more and more finely. I guess if we all agreed that basically everyone is male or female, straight, gay, bi, or uninterested, then no-one would stand out and be extra special. That wouldn’t do for some, and I bet they would be the ones pushing this bullshit.
Have you seen Mole at the Counter’s latest?

Yes!
Brilliant stuff! And it’s nice to know there’s a gender for people who get off on boasting on the internet about doing really manly stuff while remaining incredibly sensitive (Jolyongender if you hadn’t guessed).
I am sometimes misgendered as Steve.
