Did it have to be one of those ugly and redundant derivatives of the perfectly fine rainbow flag of diversity?

Given fascism currently focuses on trans and black/non-white people and actively tries to separare them from the community: Yes. Yes it did.

whoever designed the flag probably figured they have to add all the colors, so all of them would feel included and none of them would feel offended

If that were the case there would be a lot more.

The black and brown also represent a completely different movement, it should just be the rainbow flag.

But did you know black people can be gay? Betcha didn't. Glad we added that to the flag to remind you.

Ok, but did you know that Mongolian people could be gay? Where is there stripe? Did you know Comanche Native Americans couls be gay? Where is theres? Did you know Irish people could be gay? Where is there stripe?

Irish people could be gay

We checked, zero gay. May sound strange, but you can't argue with science.
