Add a new forum emoji

[Deleted member 1235]

Description of the idea: The addition of a small pride flag emoji for typing either : pride: or :duffy:, similar to :trande: :ethan:

Why should this be added? (pros):
- Helps the forums appear as the true progressive community that we are.
- Adds a lovely colourful emoji
- It's pride month, if my bank can suddenly support LGBT rights perp should too
What negatives could this have? (cons):
- other minorities might want a emoji
- May trigger some people who call everyone else triggered

*Other additions:
Maybe even call it the optimistic rating

*Images:
Something along the lines of this

it's a no from me, as soon as you acknowledge one of them, they'll all ask for emotes

All I see coming out of this here idea is the pride flag being used in tandem with another users name to insinuate that said user is gay until someone does it to the wrong staff member like [REDACTED] and ends up forum warned for it.

i disagree

we all accept [REDACTED] for who they are

this is a viable alternative the lgbt community support
