Here I made an overlay ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh for crying out loud, we've already been over this once in this comment thread...

It exists, and there is at least one more variant that is basically a black to white gradient of stripes BUT the thing is 'heterosexual pride' has some very unfortunate connotations with anti-lgbt groups, so bringing it up comes across as... pretty damn uncool.

I tried to make a sad face, and Subeta turned it into an angry emoji. ;__; Sorry about that! It was supposed to be a sad frown, not an angry face!

- The "Pride" movement started as a way for LGBT+ people to take a stand against oppression. Even today, LGBT+ people are discriminated against, fired, kicked out of their homes, assaulted, or even killed for not being cis/straight. :[ Pride is supposed to be a way for those people to come together, be happy about who they are, and carry on that stand against systematic oppression.

That's why there's no "straight pride", even though there is a heterosexuality flag-- it's just not needed. Straight Pride would be the equivalent of seeing wheelchair/disabled parking spaces and saying "But why can't we have able-bodied spaces?": The whole rest of the parking lot is able-bodied parking spaces. Most of the world is cis/straight, and people aren't abused and discriminated against for that (barring Internet trolls) like LGBT+ people are. :'0

I would definitely support some kind of "Ally" or pin or sash, though!! And nobody, straight or otherwise, should feel ashamed of their sexuality. But I don't think "straight pride" itself really fits into a movement that's supposed to be standing against systematic mistreatment and oppression. ;;

Anyway grabs a Yes the perfect thing. Thank you for these fantastic sashes for pride month.

June 26, 2018, 11:27 am by

+1 vote for that being the hetro flag.

June 26, 2018, 11:26 am by

this came up when i googled a hetero flag does this appease you

June 26, 2018, 11:25 am by

EEEEEEEEEEE SO MUCH EXCITE! I love ALL of these! :D

June 26, 2018, 11:22 am by

"What about cis/hetero pride?" Yeah totally, and while we're at it why don't we have a white history month, am I right?

Having pride flags like the above isn't specifically excluding people who are cis and straight because they're catered to groups who are already excluded from a cis/straight dominated society. Not everything has to be about you specifically! If it doesn't apply to you move on and let marginalized groups feel normal and appreciated for once. I really don't get why cis, straight or white people always have to chime in with "what about us?" or "we're all just people I don't know why you need to be special". You already have a whole society catered to you. Let gay people have something celebrating them for once without demanding you be included.

Sorry about the link fail! Also, could we have Bear Pride and Leather Pride next year, please? ^_^

I am a little bit confused here. I think all forms of sexuality are presented here (basically) except for heterosexuality. Should I be ashamed and hide because I'm pretty sure I'm hetero (I do have thinking that I could be Ace though)?

Does the heterosexuality group even have a flag or colors? Can someone be proud of being hetero and still support and love people who fall under all the other forms of sexuality? I personally think you can, I do.

I am a bit sad because of how much I feel left out and unloved.

June 26, 2018, 10:53 am by

thank you very much! ^^

June 26, 2018, 10:52 am by

These are really nice and all, but I'm EXTREMELY disappointed there's no Intersex sash. I feel like intersex gets left out more than asexuality does.

June 26, 2018, 10:51 am by

Human Avatars - Avatars - Pride HAs! sorry I should have said that in my first comment.

June 26, 2018, 10:51 am by

Ooooh preeeetyyyy.

June 26, 2018, 10:48 am by

where can I find this thread? I'm not too familiar with the forums :P

June 26, 2018, 10:39 am by

i think an lgbt-ally item is a great idea.

June 26, 2018, 10:38 am by

i agree with you on the flag thing. lgbt is already internally segregated enough as is. unfortunately not everyone gets this, or thinks about this stuff from the strategic standpoint at all.

June 26, 2018, 10:33 am by

Maybe the staff could create an ally sash or pin of some sort so those who aren't a part of the alphabet soup acronym can participate in a respectful, supportive way?

June 26, 2018, 10:32 am by

I'm so so happy we have these now!! As a gay trans male I'm so pleased!!!!

Thanks staff, Happy Pride! For anyone whos wondering has a thread in the forums for showing off pride has if you want!

June 26, 2018, 10:01 am by

I LOVE these flags. <3 I just learned at the beginning of the month that there were flags representing the gender spectrum (I hope that's the right word/phrase please correct me if it's not). I'm trying hard to be the best Ally I can be.

June 26, 2018, 9:51 am by

Could we just please get a Pride Week <3

June 26, 2018, 9:41 am by

Thank you so much for these! <3

I love the names on those, super direct, right in your face, amazing!

also

June 26, 2018, 9:27 am by

Yes! Yes!! I didn't think we were gonna get anything :) and you included the lesbian flag, which imo doesn't get enough recognition. Super cool. Thanks Quentin + staff!!

June 26, 2018, 9:24 am by

YES! I was hoping we'd get something for Pride month and these are beautiful. I especially love the Ace one. ;v; Subeta is a wonderful site. Thank you. ❤️

June 26, 2018, 9:23 am by

This pride flag isn't for white people to enjoy. It's for brown/black people to feel a little bit more included in a movement they built, yet that did little over time to include our struggles properly. Then again, not worth it wasting time discussing with people who ask us to "leave race out of it", as if being a black latina didn't affect every single aspect of my life, including my relation with my sexuality and gender.

There are a lot of pride flags that won't include you - if you're white, maybe just do the same you do about them and ignore this. This is about black/brown people. Have a good day.

June 26, 2018, 9:22 am by

Awesome, thanks! <3 I thought it was, but I wanted to be sure. It's really nice that Ace was included, I feel like Ace is often overlooked. :-)

June 26, 2018, 9:19 am by

INclusiveness??? :)

June 26, 2018, 9:17 am by

Thank you, staff! And happy Pride, everyone!! :') Stay safe out there, and have fun! I'm gonna have to get a lesbian pride sash for my wardrobe, and then probably a bunch more for my pets, haha. Time to do some questing again!

June 26, 2018, 9:11 am by

it totally does! asexuality is a huuuuuge spectrum. plus, check out the demi flag under the spoiler- same colors!

June 26, 2018, 9:11 am by

, I'd rather they not. That flag is criticized a LOT.

It brings race into something about gender and sexuality pride. The flag is inappropriate.

The fact they -only- included colors for black men/women, but ignored all other races honestly just divides the community further. ESPECIALLY when after that flag was unveiled, multiple prides, including DC Pride, had movements from black LGBT individuals to exclude gay white men from pride festivals because they aren't "as marginalized." It's grown a HUGE hate following due to it. It's probably the worst attempt at improving the Pride flag ever.

So no. Leave race out of it. Thanks.s

Hey peeps, we don't need to dogpile on for simply asking if there is a cis/het flag. We all know what a sad feeling it is to find an event that your group are excited about, and then to find that you can't get into it because of your gender/sexuality. And I think that asking if there might be a wearable (which would work very nicely on grayscale HAs, too!) does not count as attacking QUILTBAG folks or appropriating Pride.

June 26, 2018, 8:55 am by

Would love to see a genderfluid one in the future!! Thank you, Subeta. This means more than you know,

June 26, 2018, 8:52 am by

If you don't understand them... that's fine? The people these items were made for do understand them, and a quick google would tell you the basics if you actually wanted to know.

It's a pity you just couldn't go about your business and let other people be happy. c:

June 26, 2018, 8:49 am by

Thank y'all so much for including the Ace flag, that means so much qAq

June 26, 2018, 8:48 am by

I hate the term "ace" for "asexual" so much (I recognize I'm the only one on earth but then again I also hate the word queer so just ignore me) but I'm happy for these. Thank you.

June 26, 2018, 8:44 am by

Awesome!!

June 26, 2018, 8:42 am by

Wow! I did not know that having a label applied to yourself was so important. I really don't understand more than half of these. It's a pity we just couldn't go about our business just being ourselves.

June 26, 2018, 8:31 am by

Whenever I see new pride items on Subeta:

June 26, 2018, 8:23 am by

Does Demi fall under Ace? For a while I thought I was Ace, but I don't want to misuse the sash if it doesn't apply to me. :-)

June 26, 2018, 8:20 am by

Thanks so much for these! Especially the Ace Pride one. ❤️ I actually just got an ace pin at my local farmers market on Saturday and I was shocked to find it there. A nice old lady was selling them along with her handmade soaps and it was just a very pleasant surprise in the middle of conservative PA.

June 26, 2018, 8:08 am by

OMG I'M SO HAPPY AAAAAAA

June 26, 2018, 7:28 am by

Thank You SO, SO much! I'm so happy.

June 26, 2018, 7:16 am by

I second having these in plain/other colours. They're really nice sashes but none of them apply to me, and I feel like it would be pretty crass to use them as just colourful fashion accessories.

June 26, 2018, 7:16 am by

Thank you so much for the Ace one!! I may put it on my HA even though it'll just be floating in space :P
