If you think that a gay pride flag isn’t a political statement, then I assume you also think a white pride flag isn’t a political statement?
Edit: Also, if the inclusion of a gay pride flag isn’t a political statement, then how can its removal be a political statement?
The fact that it’s a political statement you and I may happen to agree with doesn’t mean it’s not political, and advancing that argument just makes you sound as irrationally prejudiced as the people you oppose.
