I have a lot of very messy feelings about the proliferation of Pride flags, especially the mlm one, but ever since @princeofsparkles pointed out that we've gone back to "pink is for girls, blue is for boys," I think about it every time I see either of these.

#Do gay men need their own flag? If everyone else needs their own flag then I say yes.#Bc we can't let mlms become the ''unmarked'' group in the queer community #If that makes sense #Gay men aren't the default type queer even if that is how it is somehow presented in the mainstream #And I occasionally see the infants on this site act like ye Olde 6 stripe rainbow flag is for gay men and everyone else needs their own #THE RAINBOW COVERS LITERALLY EVERYONE #The other flags are great but if you just put out the one 🌈 flag congrats you've covered us all. Every L G B T Q I A P 2S *#*who feel they belong under that banner... Shit's nuanced and complicated af #Putting out multiple or variations of flags is a way of specifically acknowledging and showing solidarity W certain groups #The new black and brown stripes are about highlighting poc in the queer community and their contributions and unique experiences #But that doesn't mean you're racist if you still use your old 6 - stripe #No matter how many flags you hang or stripes you add you can't specifically name everyone #Which is why we unite under a single banner #Idk I just worry about left unity a lot #We have more in common than we have different #Also pls take some intro color theory and graphic design classes before you make a new flag for your micro identity #Pride #Gay pride #Lesbian pride #Pride flags #Lgbt #Lgbtq #Lgbtqia #lgbtqia2s #Queer #Queer pride #Queer pride flags #These statements have not been vetted by princeofsparkles if you're mad leave them out of this.#vexillology #You're not excluding Indiana if you just use the Stars and Stripes. We should - but that's a different post.
