Seems more like an anti-gay flag, or at least for sexual conservatism. It was, essentially, suggested by political conservatives who were generally opposed to the symbolism of a flag for a sexual orientation anyway a quick online search indicates that many conservatives have rhetorically suggested such a symbol many times since, indicating that perhaps that is its main value. I did see that design suggested at one point, but for the life of me, I can't find it now. The obvious reference is to the Rainbow Flag, essentially removed of its color. I believe the design was six horizontal stripes, N-W-N-W-N-W. I have seen a proposed flag for heterosexuals. I believe the reason for non-existence of a flag for heterosexuals is the same that explains the general absence of specific symbology for any majority, either ethnic, social, etc.

Speaking of the rainbow flag, it was actually gay politician Harvey Milk who asked a talented designer friend, Gilbert Baker, to design an all-encompassing symbol to take to San Francisco’s Pride March in 1978. This eventually morphed into what we now know as the New York City Pride March and was the catalyst for the formation of similar parades and marches across the world. Known as ‘The Mother of Pride,’ Brenda organized Gay Pride Week and the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade a year after the Stonewall Riots. Pride Month is largely credited as being started by bisexual activist Brenda Howard.

The message was clear - protestors demanded the establishment of places where LGBT+ people could go and be open about their sexual orientation without fear of arrest.

Johnson, leading the movement to continue over six days with protests and clashes. Among the many leaders of the riots was a black, trans, bisexual woman, Marsha P. On a hot summer’s night in New York on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village, which resulted in bar patrons, staff, and neighborhood residents rioting onto Christopher Street outside.
