I’m not quite sure what to do regarding damage control around the exclusionists that are using my flag, but I started by working with several gay men in a pride, and my personal server to come up with meanings for each stripe (based on flag) that explicitly include GNC, nonbinary, trans, ace/arospec, split-attraction, and pronoun nonconforming gay men (also made it prettier). I saw it around a few times but didn’t realize it took off like that and was being credited to a truscum, no less. They never followed up on it so I posted it on Deviantart for opinions but didn’t get much interaction there. Since the anon that asked me about a gay man flag suggested one that was too similar to the butch lesbian flag. Was never meant to be a finalized design (especially since I’m nonbinary and bi), it was simply a suggestion Low/non-dysphoric trans people, and anyone else who may get excluded.īasically, any identity (that’s notcentered around harming people or animals) is amazing and valid. Lesbians (or anyone, really), GNC trans people, people who use the SAM, Neurogenders and neurorientations) pronoun noncomforming gays and I am fully supportive of allĪspec identities, “MOGAI” genders (including xenogenders, kingenders, I never want any of my flags being used to exclude part of the LGBTQAI+/MOGAI community. I am beyond pissed off at this, especially since I don’t remember anyone telling me it was stolen. Transphobes to exclude trans and nonbinary gay men.

Also, it seems like it’s been co-opted by truscum and Well, in fact, there are many flags out there beside the iconic rainbow flag to. They probably don't know about the agender flag either. We don't have any hard evidence to back this up but we bet most people aren't aware of the asexual flag. Wording it in a way that made people think it was made by them (andĪlso “official”). Thought there was only one LGBTQ+ flag Think again. 1.Mod Hermy of the Pride-Flags Deviantart here: I just found out during my hiatus from this blog that there’s been a lot of discourse surrounding this flag that I helped make.ĪPPARENTLY some truscum/transmed took this flag and reuploaded it (that got 8.2k notes vs the 9 notes my original post has), Flags are, after all, meant to be flown - loudly and proudly! Below, we’ll walk you through the origin, meaning and colors of 21 LGBTQ flags, from the original pride flag to new pride flags flown today, so that you can understand which identity each flag celebrates. Although the symbolic use of bright colors has long been connected to queer culture, these flags, fittingly, are a highly visible, widerspread signal of queer identity compared to some of the slightly more covert LGBTQ+ symbols that preceded them. Today, there are dozens of LGBTQ+ flags representing just as many gender identities, sexualities and intersections of communities. Much like the communities they represent, these flags are in a constant state of evolution, expanding to better and more inclusively encompass every queer identity under the rainbow. Ever since the first rainbow-hued LGBTQ flag was created in 1978, pride flags have been a colorful symbol of queer identity.
