Hetero pride is everywhere, every day, all the time. Enjoy your hetero pride when you go out with your loved one and doesn't get beaten up for holding hands. Enjoy your pride when you go to the movies, theaters or listen to songs and only see straight love stories. Enjoy your pride when you are not sentenced to death for loving someone. Enjoy your pride when no one tells you that your gender is "made up." Enjoy your pride for not being kicked out when you show up with your significant other. Enjoy your pride while you do not go through the traumatizing experience of "coming out".

Also for the people who are sad you can't wear multiple at the same time, hopefully they will make more flag items one day. Like caps, or capes, or shirts or something. Fingers crossed!

June 26, 2018, 2:13 pm by

Okay my literal one issue with these are that they dont stack,,, I feel like that would have been a really good idea so people who use multiple pride flags (like aspec gay/bi/pan ppl or trans or nb ppl who are also not straight(i’m both of them sjhdhjfkkfj)) Can show multiple flags off at the same time (Feel free to ignore my rambling shdjhdhmmh)

Pride and our flags exist as a glimmer of hope and unity showing us that we exist and deserve to be proud despite the violence and homophobia/transphobia we face. Allies are super important and we need their support, we need them to boost our voices because sometimes cishet people just won't listen to us but will listen to other cishets.

That being said, allies wearing the pride flag in this context seems a bit out of sorts to me. In marches and stuff like that it's probably fair game, and i'm pretty sure allies have always had a place in pride (even if that's partly so closeted LGBT people can come to marches without outing themselves to family etc) but these items are definitely going to be used to indicate someones identity, and that's gonna make allies wearing them a bit misleading.

I also hate that this month, where we are supposed to be celebrating, always ends up full of spats about inclusion, and I find it fascinating that we are always expected to be the good guys out there making sure cishets feel safe and like they have a place in our event, when the event exists... because cishet people made us feel like we didn't have a place on this entire planet. we've been through so much and it always boils down to 'i wish my het flag was here... i want in on the fun' it's just so terribly, blissfully unaware of the gravity of our situation

aw i really like these, great job! c:

June 26, 2018, 1:42 pm by

the only thing i'm surprised about is that nobody in the thread mentioned ace discourse

June 26, 2018, 1:41 pm by

Cool! But where's the hetero pride sash?

June 26, 2018, 1:34 pm by

I'm very happy to see all those Pride sashes! They aren't flags, but they're very fashionable still! Bought the Ace and Enby ones first for personal reasons, but I want all of them <3

June 26, 2018, 1:28 pm by

not at all surprised about where the comments section went, lol but i am very happy to see these!! i bought the trans + pride ones immediately

June 26, 2018, 1:21 pm by

Additionally being into kink does NOT effect your day to day life. Sex is private and not something that is part of your day to identity. Your gender and sexual orientation are. You don't need to be part of pride just because you're part of a sexual scene that isn't widely accepted. I'm not articulating this well but I am seriously so sick of cishet kinksters thinking they're part of the lgbt community because they like being breath play lmao.

June 26, 2018, 1:18 pm by

agh I'm so sick of straight kinksters trying to hop onto lgbt shit. If you're gay and/or trans and into kink it still has nothing to do with lgbt+ pride regardless. that's a kink, not your gender or sexual orientation,

June 26, 2018, 1:12 pm by

Hellz yeah!

June 26, 2018, 1:09 pm by

Oh cool! I couldn't see that, my bad.

My point about wishing the sash could be a "gay pride" flag still stands, though. :)

June 26, 2018, 1:08 pm by

If you look at the item's overlay it does actually have 8 colors, not 6 ;)

June 26, 2018, 1:00 pm by

Actually, the rainbow flag we know of today is not the first pride flag! The first ever pride flag was a rainbow, but it had a hot pink stripe at the top. The pink was removed from later iterations of the flag because the fabric for it was too difficult to find.

Gilbert Baker created the first ever pride flag specifically for gay people, since up until then the only symbol the gay community possessed and used to represent themselves was the pink triangle, which came from a history of atrocity and death. Pride was "gay pride" until the 1980s, when it became "LGB" pride, and then later "LGBT" pride in the 1990s.

Of course the growth of our community and its evolution is a good thing! But since you are claiming historical accuracy while saying things that are not true, I wanted to point out that yes, the rainbow flag was created as a symbol of gay liberation.

Every other identity and orientation gets their own unique sash to themselves here, so why doesn't homosexuality? That is why I was confused. While the rainbow flag is commonly used as a representation of our entire community nowadays, I do feel it would be nice to acknowledge its origins and current usage as a specific representation of pride for gay individuals. :)

June 26, 2018, 12:58 pm by

definitely wish i could wear more than one, but i am going with what i believe i know to be true about myself. i know there is a lot of debate going on in this comment section rn but i just want to say i love you all no matter what. please do your part to educate one another, be patient with one another, and be kind to one another. we are, hopefully, learning; all of the time. thank you subeta, and , for these sashes. they are beautiful, just like everyone here.

June 26, 2018, 12:57 pm by

THEY'RE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL

Thank you for making these!

June 26, 2018, 12:54 pm by

Also, thank you to those who let us know it is okay to wear the pride sash as an ally. I am a hetero demisexual, but I support and respect people of all genders and orientations. <3 I also just love rainbow colors, but would not want to be rude wearing something meant for those of another orientation. :-)

June 26, 2018, 12:47 pm by

because i colour dropped directly from the original pride flag from the 70s, which was created for the first pride. c: the pride flag is all encompassing and not just 'gay' pride. in this house we're accepting of everyone and respect the history behind our community ♥

June 26, 2018, 12:47 pm by

Thank you, and staff for all of these! My closeted RL ass tripped over itself to throw together an HA even though I'm a bit nervous about it... even here.

I am genuinely curious, though, if this is going to cause doggiling in the long run when someone who simply appreciates the art (but is cis/hetero) uses them. I'd like to think that we, as a community, are better than that. Then again, after the vegan debates... shrugs

June 26, 2018, 12:44 pm by

Why isn't the rainbow one a "gay pride" sash and is just a "pride sash"?

A little disappointed that the lesbian sash is the femme lesbian flag only as well, but lesbians don't have any good flags of our own anyway, so that's just how it is, I guess. :')

June 26, 2018, 12:44 pm by

While BDSM has nothing to do with kinks (or for the most part), it isn't an orientation either. You are not attracted to BDSM. You are attracted to your dom or your sub, which can be a male, female, none, all. You can scene with every type of people.

Leather isn't a sexuality, nor an orientation nor a gender. I don't see why it should be included here?

June 26, 2018, 12:42 pm by

im just happy subeta supports pride, i bought the lesbian one as fast as my mouse could take me. thank you so much subeta!!

June 26, 2018, 12:42 pm by

maybe i am! but hey, we'll all learn something new every day. there are plenty of things within the community that apply to some but not others, and that's cool! but for the time being yes. i'll continue to talk out my ass because for this kind of pride it's veering away from sex as an action and over to sexuality and gender (or lack thereof) as an identity. I don't know how to say i don't agree without sounding like a jerk. but someone else asked for 'bear' pride flags as well. and i just don't see where those intersect with what i've made here. what you're talking about seems more like an addition on top of what's already here. not begrudging those people by any means, since pride is beautiful no matter the direction it comes from. but i will step in and say it isn't the same as oh i dont know people being fired for being trans. the representation for that section is a non-issue in my eyes and i'd like for that perception to change, sure. but at the same time please understand the views from outside of your circle. you want a LEATHER pride flag and want to talk about my talkative farts like i'm ignorant when....the pride your asking for in itself leads to kink talk.

June 26, 2018, 12:39 pm by

That's the reason why we can't have nice things l m a o.

June 26, 2018, 12:38 pm by

said the leather fetish pride flag is getting on site in the next batch of sashes alongside with the sash for people who are exclusively attracted to anime characters. we'll have to wait for that just a bit longer, friend.

June 26, 2018, 12:37 pm by

my only complaint is i can't wear two at once (altho nb and lesbian flags clash badly)! ? idk if yall are planning it, but i'd love more of these in different styles! like a backdrop or cape.

June 26, 2018, 12:36 pm by

Kinks are not pride and lgbtqia people do NOT need that tied to them, thank you very much. In case people MISSED the past three years of fierce kickback against kinks at pride events because children go to them or anything like that.

June 26, 2018, 12:36 pm by

Thank you for that! I need two HAs to use both the pan and nb sashes

June 26, 2018, 12:34 pm by

You do realize that roles in S&M are identities to people right? it's not just kinks and fetishes and you seem to think. I don't know if you are speaking out of your behind or just not knowledgeable enough on the subject.

June 26, 2018, 12:28 pm by

Anyways I'm tired of the whiny cis het people. My wife is trans and was recently fired for bs reasons after she told the wrong manager she planned on going on to HRT soon. We deal with people denying her gender and my sexuality daily. If I, a lesbian, get asked about my "boyfriend" one more time by someone who knows she's a girl...

June 26, 2018, 12:27 pm by

I'm torn. I want to wear some of them because of the colors, but not because of what they represent...

June 26, 2018, 12:25 pm by

yay I bought the lesbian one

June 26, 2018, 12:23 pm by

i LEGIT can't tell if you're joking or not! these are pride flags for sexualities and identities, not kinks! were it for that i'd have drawn myself one for monster fuckers.

June 26, 2018, 12:16 pm by

Ahhh! I need the ace sash so badly, but I just spent my QP. RIP me. XD Time for some questing!

June 26, 2018, 12:16 pm by

*sash I meant to say.

June 26, 2018, 12:15 pm by

Of COURSE the "hetero pride" people showed up. Of COURSE. It's not like EVERY DAY IS HETERO PRIDE DAY considering EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK YOU SEE HETEROSEXUALITY and it's treated as the "default"! Just stop whining! You are NOT discriminated against and I'm 100% okay with you people feel uncomfortable because LGBTQ+ people feel uncomfortable EVERY SINGLE DAY being treated the way we are. LGBT pride exists because we've been treated badly for thousands of years and even now tons of countries have anti-LGBT laws and even those that allow same-sex marriage still have tons of people who are anti-LGBT. NO country discriminates against heterosexuals! NONE! Stop whining!

June 26, 2018, 12:15 pm by

Why isn't there a leather pride flag? It seems people leave this one out a lot.

June 26, 2018, 11:59 am by

Made me so happy to see these when I logged in today :') Thanks so much Staff/ Quentin/ Pie!!

June 26, 2018, 11:53 am by

hey everyone i drew these and wanna POP IN QUICKLY! i know there are some not included, and that's more me having to pick and choose so there weren't 1000 of them! as for hetero pride....that doesn't exist! if you want to be an ally to the community then dawn the original rainbow pride flag. it shows acceptance and covers ALL the bases! the original pride flag was made with colours representing what unites everyone in the community. sometimes it's better to show support for those struggling than to ask for more for yourself! HAPPY PRIDE.

June 26, 2018, 11:51 am by

0 I am picking up those bi and ace sashes IMMEDIATELY

June 26, 2018, 11:49 am by

Y'all can also just wear the pride sash if you really want. "Show your colors, whatever they may be!" So there you go. Wear rainbow.

June 26, 2018, 11:43 am by

At least you were understanding, patient, and nice about it. Sometimes people just don't understand because they are fully accepting and don't realize there is that much hate. :( I don't have social media (I literally only have subeta) and am disabled so I can't go out in the world hardly at all. So it is not something I get to experience unless someone tells me about it.

June 26, 2018, 11:41 am by

- No worries! Glad I could help. c:

June 26, 2018, 11:36 am by

If anyone needs one of these but doesn't have the quest points just leave me a comment <3

June 26, 2018, 11:36 am by

Well, now I understand - I was quite confused about it all. I do tend to live under a rock most of the time. I have never really thought about it that much because I just accept everyone for who they are without drama or dislike - what you are saying does make sense to me now. Thank you for opening my eyes to that.

June 26, 2018, 11:35 am by

yall it's not unnatural for hetero people to feel left out or ask why they don't get something be nice

June 26, 2018, 11:33 am by

If you just want to show your support for the LGBT community while not being part of it I believe flying the rainbow flag as a symbol of solidarity is customary.

June 26, 2018, 11:33 am by

the noise i made
