Texas’s Austin Independent School District (AISD) is set to celebrate “pride week” to celebrate the LGBT movement.
“Every year, to celebrate LGBTQIA+ students, staff and families Austin ISD hosts its own Pride Week, a time to highlight the district’s commitment to creating a safe, supportive and inclusive environment,” the Austin Independent School District website states.
Pride week, which will take place in the district from March 20th to March 25th, has a different theme every day of the week, including “Pride and You — Creative Expression,” “Differences are Awesome,” and “Local Pride and Spirit Day,” among others.
Students and staff are told to “please visit your campus front office to pick up Pride and Ally stickers, posters, flags, pronoun buttons and more!”
A poster advertising pride week, which comes in English, Spanish, Burmese, Arabic, German, Vietnamese, and Pashto editions, features what has been dubbed the “progress pride flag.” The spinoff of the original pride flag also includes a blue, pink, and white to symbolize transgenderism, as well as black and brown to symbolize those who are black and Hispanic. There’s even a portion of the flag with a yellow triangle and a purple circle, which intends to symbolize those who intersex.
