Canyon Queerhet
Plain flag (left), Flag with stripe meanings (right)
This term/flags were originally posted June 5th, 2022.
Last year or so (actually around 2 years now upon re-posting) I made my own take on the lesbian/gay/vincian/enbian flags since I am critinclus/radinclus. However one of the two posts detailing these flags was lost, so I am remaking/renaming them, along with simplifying and cleaning up some stripe meanings.
The original flags I made were 9 stripes, and I didn’t like the way I simplified them into 5 stripes, so I’ve decided to make a simple 6 stripe one. Some of these flags will look very similar to the ones I originally did, and some will look way different.
This flag is coined as a Queerhet flag, however anyone who is Q4G (Queer for Women,Men,Enbies,etc), WLM/MLW/NBLM/XLNB/etc, or identifies their attraction to a gender as queer regardless of their own gender or other attractions. This is also inclusive of queers whose’ gender is queer, while they may be het/straight/strayt/etc. (Basically anyone who feels like queerhet, but may not 100% identify with the queerhet label for any reason, is allowed to use this flag, as long as they recognize it as the Canyon Queerhet/non-Q4G flag. You could call yourself Canyon Strayt/Pluralian/etc in order to make that connection.)
This flag stands for inclusion and solidarity within the Queerhet community, and between the Queerhet community, other non-Q4G communities, and other non-primarily non-Q4G Queer communities (Transhets/Cisgays/etc). Generally just look at the stripe meanings if you want the general idea, I go into more detail for my reasoning below each meaning. This is a LONG POST.
.
The Stripe meanings:
Top/Vibrant Redwood: Aspec Queerhet, Monospec Queerhet, and Mspec Queerhet inclusion and solidarity.
The Canyon Queerhet flag is radically inclusive of Aspec and Mspec queerhets, since most people thing of cis gays and transhets when they hear the term Queerhet. Anyone may ID as Queerhet for any reason. Monospec Queerhets should have solidarity with Aspec and Mspec queerhets.
—
Second Stripe/Vibrant Auburn Orange: Multigender Queerhet, Genderfluid Queerhet, Genderflux Queerhet, Monogender Queerhet, Xenogender Queerhet, Agender Queerhet inclusion and solidarity.
Of course these are not the only genders included under this stripe, however these are some of the more excluded and misunderstood even by general queerhet spaces, so they’re here to explicitly say they’re included under this flag. There’s many reasons why someone who isn’t a binary monogender may describe themself as Queerhet. Monogender Queerhets should stand with Queerhets with more complicated gender identities.
—
Third Stripe/Rusty Orange: Pronoun-Non-Conforming Queerhet, Gender-Non-Conforming Queerhet, Pronoun-Conforming Queerhet, Gender-Conforming Queerhet Inclusion and Solidarity
This stripe is here due to some exclusion in queerhet spaces against basically anyone that’s not a binary gender, and presents as such. This stripe is for explicit inclusion of they/them, it/its, neopronoun, nounself, emojiself queerhets, neutral, transneutral, transmasc, transfem, lavenderian, amaranthian, butch, femme, wisterian, transxen, xenic, queerhets. Gender and Pronoun conforming queerhets should include and have solidarity with non-gender/pronoun conforming queerhets.
—
Fourth Stripe/Salmon Pink: Queerhet and Non-Queerhet non-Q4G inclusion and solidarity
This stripe is here to include non-queerhet non-Q4G in queerhet spaces, conversation, etc. This stripe stands for and includes anyone who has Queer love for any gender, is queer gender-wise, and doesn’t primarily identify as queerhet. This includes, transhets, strayt, rubian, umbalian, etc. This stripe can also include queerhets who are not explicitly non-Q4G, and may be NBMLW/NBWLM/NBLM/NBLW queerhets. Non-Queerhets are not the enemies of queerhets, and queerhets should include and have solidarity with other non-Q4G.
—
Fifth Stripe/Burnt Pink: Femme Queerhet, Futch Queerhet, Butch Queerhet, Twink Queerhet, Otter Queerhet, Bear Queerhet inclusion and solidarity.
This stripe is here partly for the same reason as stripe number three, however with the added notion that Femme/Futch/Butch are not lesbian exclusive terms, and that Otter/Bear/Twink are not vincian/gay man exclusive terms. There may be many reasons someone would use these terms, Femme/Futch/Butch generally relate to gender-presentation, and Otter/Bear/Twink generally relate to one’s body. Of which there is a lot of fatphobia in queer communities, so this stripe is primarily here to focus on challenging what a queerhet “looks like”. Futch queerhets are not the enemies of Femme and Butch queerhets, and Bear queerhets and just as valid in their queerhet identity as Otter and Twink queerhets. Be inclusive and have solidarity with other queerhets, even if they don’t “look like” queerhet. Challenge fatphobia, transphobia, and queermisia in your own communities.
—
Sixth/Last Stripe/Vibrant Rich Purple: Otherwise Marginalized Queerhet inclusion and solidarity.
Like I mentioned in stripe number five, there is not “look” to being queerhet. This stripe is for the explicit inclusion of otherwise marginalized queerhets, whether they be BIPOC, a religious minority, trans, intersex, polyamorous, chronically ill and/or disabled, neurodivergent, fat and/or a bear, etc. Include and have solidarity with other queerhets, whether or not they’re like yourself. Challenge bigoted rhetoric in your own communities.

Ok but I saw you had Lau as an icon at one point so I'm curious, what would Lau's sexuality be to you and if so can you do icons of him?? ...And maybe Ran Mao too?? 👉👈
took me some time but i love these two so of course i have queer HCs (i also have some for characters i hate ngl)
first, what the fuck is gender anyway?
and second, "imagine liking women lmao" vs "imagine liking men lol" aka nblm/nblw solidarity because they're gay and lesbian and i know it deep within my soul.
anyway i would like to send yana toboso hate mail for never giving us pretty lau panels that don't have massive speech bubbles hiding half of his damn head.

there is a difference between "im tired of seeing all these wlw/nblw shit what about mlm/nblm stuff :/" and "im so happy for all the rep the sapphics are getting, i just wish there was more mlm/nblm rep to boot". its okay to be discontent with not having enough media rep of your sexuality, but it isnt ok to speak negatively about other parts of the community!!!
of course i wish there was more mlm/nmlm rep. of course i wish us in fandoms didnt have to craft it ourselves because no one else would give it to us. but i firmly believe we shouldnt have to trample others for the spotlight. we shouldnt have to beat down and gripe about sapphic relationship rep when we're supposed to be in solidarity of one another!!!!
