And being gay/trans/etc. in late 60's/early 70's was bad thing (because everybody hate them back then).

I like the colours. There, I said it. And I don't see a clash with the TF2 paint can colour palette: the balloonicorn's pale pink and baby-blue is there, the Pink as Hell hot pink, A Deep Commitment to Purple, Noble Hatter's Violet, Australium Gold yellow, orange, grey, Indubitably Green, Team Spirit red, Value of Teamwork dark blue,
(There are indeed warpaints on the Workshop that use colours that do not fit the TF2 colour scheme... and 99% of those use that weird oversaturated blood red and bright dark blue, don't ask me why. This warpaint doesn't.)
But if you wanna do something specific for these communities, I'dd do some research into the history of these groups since thee flags are a fairly recent thing. Look up their symbols, art, campaigns and influential works from around the late 60's-early 70's, same time period as the game and subtlety work those in a war paint.
Make something that fits the games aesthetic and has that general surface level appeal for everyone whilst also having deeper meaning for whoever finds themselves represented.
Sure if you happen to be a person who identifies with one (or several) of these flags, the whole thing is going to have some deeper meaning and I am certainly not against the idea of giving a variety of people stuff they can identify with. But the bulk of tf2 players aren't really gonna have that connection with it.
Isn't censorship fun kids?
I also don't get where "politics" come to play in a war paint, I mean come on, "politics?"
