Ply lesbian flag

(+ more multi-spec lesbian flags below!)

I'm a ply lesbian, so I decided to make a flag, just for fun! Also known as polysbian or poly-lesbian. It's based on the polysexual flag and the five stripe/community lesbian flag. There are already a few ply lesbian flags that exist, but I felt like trying to make one myself. Additionally, while the flag is polyam-inclusive, it doesn't represent polyamory. Ply and polyam are not the same thing.

Also, while this account is ply-centric, I decided to make some other multi-spec flags as well, in solidarity with other multi-spec lesbians. You're free to use them if you want to ^^

[ID: a peach background with three signs that read, "ply pride", "pan pride", and "omni pride" in black, each with their flag colors. Black text above them reads, "happy pride to ply, pan, and omni people! your identities get debated and hated, but you are a historic, important part of the community, and you deserve to take pride in that and yourselves." End ID.]

happy pride to the mspec folks who are constantly getting hated or erased by the community!!!! 💗💚💛💙

Polyalterous: someone who experiences alterous attraction to some but not necessarily all genders Alterous Attraction: an attraction that is described as wanting emotional closeness without being platonic and/or romantic

Polysexual culture is being tired of explaining what it means, because everyone thinks it's the same thing as polyamory or polyerosy...

Alterous attraction is not “Romance Lite” nor is it simply a more intense version of platonic attraction.

It is it’s own thing, defined by wanting a close emotional connection with the other person and/or wanting to be important to them.

It may have elements of romantic and/or platonic attraction but it cannot be simply defined by comparison to either.

Polyalterous flag

(Not romantic or platonic, but the feeling of desiring emotional closeness towards most or several genders (but not all genders))

[aro-aceplace]

Hi! I have a terminology question. Does "polyamorous" refer to non-monogamous ROMANTIC relationships only, or is there a term specific to non-monogamous relationships that aren't romantic, or that have a mix of romantic, platonic, and/or queerplatonic relationships?

As far as I’m aware, it could refer to a mix of romantic, platonic, and queerplatonic relationships if that’s how you want to use it.

You could also just add poly+the type of attraction if you wish so you could have polyplatonic polyalterous polyqueer polyqueerplatonic since I’ve seen those used as well.

Really, it’d be up to the people within the relationship(s) to define it and use whatever word(s) make them most comfortable.

It’s so easy to support pan, omni, ply, any other mspec labels not mentioned as a bi person, and I do so, I think y’all are fantastic and I’m glad y’all found an identity that you are comfortable with, I am metaphorically shaking your hand if you’re comfortable with that.
