U.S. — In yet another step toward the advancement of protections for all people groups, activists announced today that MS-13 had officially been added to the LGBTQ+ acronym to ensure that the rights of violent foreign gang members were recognized.

Civil rights groups hailed the announcement as a significant step forward in the ongoing crusade to see MS-13 gang members be given their rightful place in society among other persecuted groups after decades of mistreatment and ostracism.

“MS-13 gang members are some of the most oppressed and vulnerable in our society,” said LGBTQMS-13 activist Cherise Hargrave. “For far too long, we have been forced to watch brave MS-13 gang members get shunned and shamed, with people demanding that they hide who they truly are. No more! It’s time for MS-13 members to be celebrated for their valuable and important contributions to our world.”

Members of the dangerous gang welcomed the news. “It’s about time,” said Enrique Marquez, who has eight murders on his resume. “I have lived every day of the last 10 years in fear of being arrested, deported, and held accountable for the vicious acts I commit on a regular basis. Now, I can be a proud member of the LGBTQMS-13 community.”

Sources said production had begun on a new flag that would add MS-13 symbols and a black teardrop tattoo emblem to the LGBTQ banner, and that Los Angeles would host the first MS-13 Pride Parade later this year.

At publishing time, the Los Angeles Dodgers had announced that Sunday, May 18, would be “MS-13 Day” at Dodger Stadium to celebrate and honor all brave cartel members.
