we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags

Those can't be political statements because that's just plain existence.

I absolutely agree that "Trans rights are human rights" shouldn't be political. It should be absolutely out of question to doubt it even for one second, but here we are in the 21th century and people are still being prosecuted simply for their way of existing. So while the existence of LGBTQ+ people is simply a beautiful fact of life, our ability and will to publicly create and celebrate a representation of them IMHO is inherently political. It is a way for (a / our) society to repeatedly signal to each other how we want to live together. As seen by the fact how uncontested the flags and statements largely were. I'd love to see 9gag try that.
