How do we reimagine the American flag as a symbol of inclusion, visibility, and unity for all of us? RECLAIM THE FLAG, the new short documentary by Alexis Bittar and Bruce Cohen, offers powerful perspectives from nearly 50 LGBTQ + thought leaders. I’m honored to stand with this movement and invite you to join me. #ReclaimTheFlag
Help us redefine what the stars and stripes truly represent. Watch the full documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUNPdkaWjc
@georgetakei When my family joined our local #NoKings march the cheer I lead as loud as I could was, “Who’s flag?!!” And, right away, everyone responded, “Our flag!!!”
Thank you for this and your ever-present voice in this and so many matters. 💜
😢 I am so sorry you had to go through that experience as a child.
No one should ever have to live through something like that, especially in America.
Yes. We should all be ashamed that we did that.
"But that was our ancestors, not us!"
Yes.
But we should still be ashamed.
And also …
It is us.
Now.
In this time.
It is happening *again*.

@georgetakei Absolutely. I'm from the UK and I remember in the 70s and 80s the National Front wrapping themselves in the Union Jack and redefining "patriotic" as "racist thug". Nobody else dared to fly the flag in case they got mistaken for an NF supporter.
It's taken us years to get back from that.
