While Al's bi outfit was admittedly a little Extra for him, especially considering daily use, Beth's ace flag outfit seems way more in line with stuff she'd actually wear! Other colors might suit her a bit better, but she definitely ROCKS this look.

An image that illustrates my point: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/149.....tq-pride-month
Artists making stuff for it is no better. The whole concept has gotten beyond obnoxious at this point, just pandering and unwanted. It's almost like its a new political campaign season.

I 100% agree that marketing campaigns centered around this topic can be obnoxious. Lots of businesses think this month is the month they HAVE to focus on LGBT folks, and it tends to come across as overbearing and fake. Especially when those businesses have anti-LGBT leanings the rest of the year.
But if you're getting aggravated at folks celebrating a part of who they are (or, in the case of the image above and the images I will be making going forward, who a character is), in a world that generally wants to silence people from doing so (less so now than in the past, but that silencing is still there), then I cannot share in your frustration.
If this is something that is legitimately upsetting to you, then I will warm you that there will be at least a few more of these. I'm having much too much fun designing outfits and taking part in all this to stop. And even if parts of the celebrations can be a bit overbearing to me (even not including the businesses from before), I still think it's very important for people to be able to have pride in these aspects of themselves, me included.
And hey, if nothing else in this post matters to you, people are having fun! Wanting to stop people from having fun when they're not hurting anybody is a bit silly.
