I though the official Straight Pride flag was in black and white (no grey areas or ambiguity), with a male symbol on top of a female symbol (depicting the hierarchy of dominance the sorts of people who would have such a flag consider the only acceptable order)

the official Straight Pride flag

As the interim CEO of Straight I can assure you that no such thing exists because having a flag is, according to the board of directors, "pretty gay". I refer you to the OP should you require further proof.

Quite a pull to not use straight lines on a straight flag.

If the "stop calling me a homo" kid was a flag

I'm confused at why an LGBTQ community wouldn't take the strategy of forceful adoption. Mostly under the point that they offer a home to all. However, it would negate any exclusion arguments against those communities.

Take your adversaries symbols and make them yours kinda thing. A Yankee Doodle approach.

"Where's muh straight flag?"

"Right here sparky."

The straight flag has been around for quite a while. It's black and white horizontal stripes. The ally flag is the straight flag with a rainbow "A" on it.

These guys in the picutre didn't bother doing any research evidently and started flying the wrong flag.

What would be a good straight flag that also follows vexillology best practices?

Let's beat them up for kissing girls. Who am I kidding. These guys can't get self-respecting women.

That flag is a horrible design, but how does something "look gay?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The gay community adopted and have used pastels in messaging for decades, and this flag has pastels in spades.

It's not 100% of course; judging anything by sight alone is fraught*, but pastels in advertising is a pretty decent indicator.

(*) are you certain that's a Nazi Swastika, or is that skinhead Hindu?

This is what you get when you order a bisexual pride flag off Temu

Yeah... they could've done a better job there.

The one from decades ago was fine and kind of funny actually - it was the gay one but grayscale. This one is shoplifting the trans colors. Also only chuds will ever fly this, so at least it functions as a do-not-interact signifier.

I feel like the term "gay ass-fuck" was a missed opportunity over "gay AF" here
