    I tend to check social media much less than the average person, so this might be a really dumb question, but…

    Why is it a brick? Does it symbolize something? Is it tool? Or a weapon? Or just some form of art?

      LGBT history, I believe - the Stonewall Riots were a pivotal event in LGBT awareness and fighting for their rights. As it was a, well, riot, bricks were used, as is common for people spontaneously deciding to fight the power - a sort of “We didn’t come here to brawl, but we’ll tear up the streets if you want to make it one” energy.
