that Maryland flag is fire

[–] Donjuanme 18 points 5 months ago

It's everything, everything but subdued.

Here's the German pride flag! #pridemonth 1000018183

[–] [email protected] 57 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You sure it isn't a fire warning scale instead?

[–] ChicoSuave 36 points 5 months ago

Or a low res sunset?

I can't tell if this is ragebait, you're just trolling, you're genuinely unaware OR if I have missed the moment when this flag's meaning got reclaimed

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What is this flag, other than a striated version of the modern German flag?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago

It was created by the German right-wing. OP says he was trying to reclaim it, but I dont think there's anything to reclaim here.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Either way it’s tasteless.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago

I was out of the loop, so I'll leave this here for anyone else who is as well: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Stolzmonat

Thank you both for pointing out that this is not a positive symbol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This is just a little step towards reclaiming it :) (And a little trollin)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I made one with the flag of the Flemish nationalists, who are usually anti-lgbt, to piss them off.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

the lion is a symbol of pride

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

pride in being a racist yes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

NGL, this goes hard

Its like the lion is hypnotizing me with his dancing to be gayer

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago (2 children)

maaaan I really wanted the Maryland flag to be official, but it was made by someone on /r/vexillology

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

it's official in my heart

[–] GraniteM 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

/r/vexillology is one of the only things I miss from the other site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Do you subscribe to [email protected] at all? It's decently big, but you're right about missing the one from the other side.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

actually, maryland looks sick

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, literally. Probably contagious too. Watch out or you'll catch the gay. Ohh, so that's the plan. Sneaky, I like it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

come to gay maryland, flag is sick but it's absolutely safe to kiss, we swear by it!

j/k am not from there, but like the design xD

[–] Maggoty 3 points 5 months ago

I am, and I endorse this message.

Tell me about it.

[–] Appleseuss 3 points 5 months ago

Right here. Our flag is the best US state flag, with maybe some competition from Arizona.

[–] Maggoty 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nice try Big Data you'll never find out I'm from Maryland!

Am I the only one who doesn't mind the Brazilian pride flag?

[–] Skullgrid 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 37 points 5 months ago (3 children)

there's different versions but this one doesn't look too bad

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

I love it.

But also, aw my eyes!

[–] Blyfh 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The yellow stripe clashing with the diamond looks very janky to me :/

[–] Zoomboingding 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah, the diamond should be the black/brown and the rainbow in the middle should be the trans colors

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

fair, they should have done the diamond also in stripes, similar to the progress pride flag

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

This one is so much better than the Dutch pride flag in the post. It's awesome

[–] Wilzax 8 points 5 months ago

Maryland just works TOO well

[–] Hobbes_Dent 8 points 5 months ago

That Maryland design is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I love my state's flag. It is a great design. Got a giant one in my basement.

Edit: tried to add a picture. Not cool enough to figure it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

on my end pictures are just a custom link with an exclamation point added to the start, so ![image description here](image url here)

[–] Maggoty 6 points 5 months ago

This is just perfect because the Maryland flag was already a Unity flag post civil war. Now it's a Pride Unity Flag.
