I think a good deal of it has a much simpler explanation: folks who had rough times growing up / in school are still trying to fight their tormentors by proxy, even though conditions have largely changed.
Also, I'll agree with the previous commenters who don't care for the new versions of the flag. The irony to me, though, is that since the stripes in the original flags represented principles, by adding new elements specific to particular identity groups aren't they effectively ceding those principles to whoever's left behind (white, cis-folk)?
