Second. It should at least be an abstraction of what it is trying to convey. Prejudiced people's first impression seeing that flag necessarily implies thinking about skin-tones. With that, there comes more stereotypes. With that, there comes more prejudices. With that, there comes a cognitive effect that you initially wanted to fight against.

Good thing that you (OP) started this thought and its accompanying discussion. I would rather start with:

I don't think racial equality needs a flag. I think the struggle of every ethnicity for equality is very different from the mutual struggle of the LGBTQ community for equality.
