Questshop: Pride Flags

race is not a Pride thing and the black stripe is for the victims of AIDS. The black and brown stripes are disrespecting the original flag and its legacy.

July 21, 2019, 6:00 am by

yep, some people from all groups prefer the all-inclusive rainbow, some like the specific flags. But you're correct that the rainbow includes all of these and more.

Staff - how about the new rainbow flag with the brown/black stripes? Would be cool to see those added to the site at some point!

The local PRIDE parade is scheduled for August, and I got a couple of flags beforehand that happen to be exactly this size. (laughs) Thanks for the addition ❤️ (:

"Favoritism is not equality"? Please, tell me how heterosexual couples weren&;t Hollywood&;s favorites for countless years. Tell me how most religions/cultures don&;t favor heterosexuality to the point that anything outside the norm is considered disgusting and in many places it&;s punished in some way, including being beaten to death.</p>
<p>We don&;t need a straight pride flag. Straight people never suffered because they were straight. We suffered because we&;re not straight - because for so long, we were not the favorites.

I need to add to this the following:

straight people CAN get married in EVERY country on Earth - gays not so much
where i live, if 2 people of the same gender live together, they're labeled (or risk of being labeled) 'gay' even if they aren't so
where i live, i never heard of 2 people of the same gender being able to buy a house together. As a matter of fact, i think only married couples can buy a house together.
i never heard of straight people being disowned by their family for their sexual preference, did you?
nobody bats an eye at straight couples holding hands on the street, over here. 2 girls? "LESBIAAANS!!!!!!!!!!! loooooook!!!!! lesbiaaaaaansssss!!! hahaha /insert various weird sounds/"
a girl has a buzz cut? she must be lesbian!!!
everyone ASSUMES everyone else is straight

I invite you to tell me how exactly do you see favoritism towards being LGBTQ... when EVERYONE favors being straight because that's the norm?? straight people WERE ALWAYS AND STILL ARE FAVORED! EVERYWHERE! how is that equality? i'm in a same-gender relationship, i don't boast about it in real life (i don't think it's anyone's business who i sleep with or if i do, for that matter), and at the same i don't like these pride stuff either (most likely because of the bullying we received in the past, and because i'm very well aware of the fact that being straight makes thinks easy and procreation is not possible without it). But you know what? not everyone feels like i do, i chose this lifestyle, i wouldn't change it for anything, and i also think that most straight people are stuck up assholes (or secretly gay). The best thing we can do is to live and let live - if being gay or whatever is wrong, i guess we'll find out when we leave this world.

and if you want a straight pride flag or whatever, make a CW ;p how exclusive is that ;) -see what i did there? no? showing myself out, lol. Do you understand now why there isn't and never will be a 'straight pride' item on subeta? (along with the ower, being gay himself).. like... yeah... LOL

Thank you so much, Staff! I'm so happy seeing all these Pride flags... Especially the sashes, too! :"D <3

July 20, 2019, 8:42 pm by

Where is my Homosapien flag? How can I show my pride when none of these TITLES fit?

July 20, 2019, 5:21 pm by

weird & embarrassing to get your feelings hurt over lgbt content on a site created & moderated by lgbt folks anyway this rules. thanks for always being so inclusive

July 20, 2019, 4:54 pm by

Thank you for the flags! I love them! Like others already mentioned, I would love GIANT versions and also a version for my HA's other hand too. :)

Also, if anyone reading this is genuinely confused and wants to ask a safe person some questions about what these flags mean, please feel free to comment me or DM me. I will answer anyone's questions. Likewise, if you have questions about transgender people, I can answer those too. Asking questions is not wrong. It's how we learn.

Love and peace to all. <3

July 20, 2019, 4:33 pm by

For all the straights who want to show they are an ally: that's what the rainbow flag is for!

July 20, 2019, 3:59 pm by

awesome! Thanks for explaining :) Do you know what does each stripe represent in this one?

July 20, 2019, 3:22 pm by

You're correct! However, the orange/pink lesbian flag is not the "lipstick lesbian" flag - the latter is just shades of pink by itself, sometimes with a kiss mark on it. The orange/pink one was created by someone else to keep a similar feel, but has actual meaning to the color choices, and to include ALL lesbians. :)

July 20, 2019, 3:20 pm by

had me fooled lmao

July 20, 2019, 3:06 pm by

god i wish i was straight

July 20, 2019, 2:49 pm by

bow howdy people are really out here showing their true colors on a PRIDE post and being surprised when our overwhelmingly gay population won't stand for it

Bi Pride Forever darling!

July 20, 2019, 2:22 pm by

Nah lol

July 20, 2019, 2:20 pm by

calm down lol

July 20, 2019, 1:45 pm by

Yay, thank you for these!

July 20, 2019, 12:25 pm by

I can't remember if I've ever seen this one but I'm adding it now that I have. Thanks for showing me and the offer, I appreciate it <3 I'll work my way to it though, nice find :)

July 20, 2019, 12:24 pm by

rubs hands together As soon as I saw this post I got the bi flag. :3

July 20, 2019, 12:12 pm by

Yeah, it's pretty great!!

July 20, 2019, 12:11 pm by

Any bigots wanna square up to my therapist? Because she's the one who helped link my fluctuating body-dysphoria with being genderfluid/queer.

Die mad about it.

July 20, 2019, 11:49 am by

Do the straight people asking for a straight pride flag even know what the flag looks like or are y’all ready to admit that you’re just being obtuse? (No need to actually answer, we all know the truth)

July 20, 2019, 11:35 am by

Thank you whoever sent me the anonymous present! (I'm pretty sure it was from someone on this thread!) <3

July 20, 2019, 11:26 am by

laughs in gay

July 20, 2019, 10:23 am by

Thank you!!!!

I'd also love it if you could switch hands too as I identify as Pan/Ace and been able to use two would be great!

(PS- I know about the sashes but find them difficult to layer with Q0Q )

July 20, 2019, 10:09 am by

I hoped for an Aromantic flag, hopefully it's added in the future, since the asexual flag is

July 20, 2019, 8:41 am by

So lovely! I's love to see them bigger tho.

But isn't the lipstick lesbian flag creator a TERF and exclusionist? :x

July 20, 2019, 8:26 am by

that ace flag is perfect for

Asexual's tc! thank you! <3

July 20, 2019, 8:16 am by

pan nb / genderfluid two lesbian flags lmao

July 20, 2019, 8:10 am by

Help help, I'm being oppressed because a minority group is being represented! Hrm, no, that feels weird, think I will stick to being a pleased ally and having a good time. Fly 'em proud! But could we maybe do the hand switching transformable thing suggested (and others echoed)? It is a good idea!

July 20, 2019, 7:59 am by

Do you have the shirt?! I could lend it to you!

July 20, 2019, 6:17 am by

To those who want/ed a "straight pride" flag and other items: you do know there's a way of getting them, don't you? They're called Custom Wearables. You can either pay someone to make them for you, usually paid for in CSC, or can make them yourself, if you're artsy.

I would love a Bear flag, a Leather one, and a Pup one (for my male submissive), but I don't expect staff to add them, as they're a body type and kinks. So if I REALLY wanted them badly enough, I'd hire someone that'd be willing to help out.

July 20, 2019, 5:23 am by

Isn't the rainbow flag supposed to represent all of these?

July 20, 2019, 4:55 am by

pan = pansexual or panromantic = attracted to people of any gender (lots of overlap between pan and bi)
ace = asexual (someone who doesn't experience sexual attraction to anyone of any gender)
genderqueer and nonbinary (NB) both mean someone who isn't male or female.
genderfluid means someone's gender keeps changing

[purposefully skips all of the comments] YOU GUYS USED THE NEW LESBIAN FLAG AND I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT THANK YOUUU If you ever need suggestions.. ;) this intersex friend would love a flag... ;) (the yellow and purple one)

July 20, 2019, 4:12 am by

Cute flags, but I don't know what most of these are. What is pan, ace, genderqueer, genderfluid, and nonbinary?

July 20, 2019, 3:01 am by

These are lovely.

Would also like to see giant flag versions!

July 20, 2019, 2:35 am by

These are beautiful! (Just like the staff taking away unnecessary comments). I'm all for giant flags, too! :D

July 20, 2019, 1:40 am by

just gonna slide in here and say thank you for the genderqueer flag!!! i don't always get to see it everywhere, so i'm really happy it was included!! ;;w;;

July 20, 2019, 1:32 am by

Fiance and I have the same gender on paper, we can't get married :( -they politicians here even wanted to change the letter of the law, to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, not between 2 individuals as it always did. They organized a 2 day referendum, LOWERED the minimum attendance number (from 50% to 30%), just to make sure the law passes, but most citizens didn't give 2 dead rats about their stupid referendum, though there's been a lot of propaganda and brainwashing in the media and on the street. The attendance was barely around 20%, so the law remains unchanged. All this drama because a local man got married in a different country to an American man, and they wanted to come live here. The American guy applied for the spouse visa, got denied, and they sued the government. They had to take the case to the European court of law who ruled in the couple's favor, if im not mistaken.

Can gays be conservative? i think i am. For instance, i don't want to wave any flag to tell people i'm like this or like that. i think that whoever i sleep with or love is my own business... So, thank you for these flags, but i'll be fine without them.. I'm just surprized it took so long to make them...

July 20, 2019, 1:32 am by

"What about straight pride?!?" No, sorry, straight pride is illegal here on Subeta Dot Com. Nobody is allowed to be straight. All of you cishets are now gay and/or trans, I don't make the rules ok. It's just the Gay Agenda (TM). It was the flags, you see, representation for identities that aren't your own actually in fact change you. That's why I'm now a gay elf ghost like Jaxon.

July 20, 2019, 1:23 am by

Im straight and I dont really feel hated. Pride is for celebrating lgbtq communities particularly and the flags are to make these communities known, why would be a straight flag when its not part of the community and its very visible by itself (I mean, there is a ideology structure especially design for making it visible and even trying to make it the only accepted option. Even if I we receive some hard times for being allies, its not the same. Our physical and mentally integrity is not at risk). Asking for a flag is a form of appropriation in the finest, that entitlement is what make people angry. You should be proud of who you are and I hope you are, but this is not about you (or me for that matter) its about the lgbtq communities, to remember their fight, their pain, their gain and to celebrate them. There are other tim

July 20, 2019, 1:21 am by

It's not "hate for straight people" to point out that straight people aren't oppressed and don't need Pride because everything is already all about them. Whatever crap allies get for being allies sucks, yeah, but it doesn't even compare to the systemic inequality LGBT+ folks face. HIV/AIDS was killing gay people off in droves in the 80s and the Reagan administration laughed about it. Called it the "gay plague." They though people deserved it. People like them are why it took so long to find ways to treat such a serious problem. Homosexuality was listed as a mental illness in the DSM until 1973. "Sodomy" laws were only officially struck down in the Supreme Court in 2003. Same-sex marriage wasn't legalized in every state until 2015. There's still nothing in most states to protect LGBT+ people against discrimination when it comes to things like jobs and housing. Conversion therapy still exists! A freaking Trans military ban happened just recently. LGBT+ youth still experience high rates of homelessness and suicide. We still struggle with representation in the media. That's doesn't even cover the full breadth of all the issues at play and this is just the United States! What hurdles have straight people had to overcome? In what was does our society punish you for being straight? It doesn't, of course. We have Pride because we're damn proud of what we've survived. We're proud of how far we've come. Having a celebration that doesn't include you isn't anywhere close to "hate." Please take a seat.

Believe or not I have more than 12 gay cousins. Straight pride flag does not make any sense to me but straight ally flag does, it means to support and believe in equality, rights, movements, and all of them. See this image: https://www.theflagshop.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/t/straight-allies-flag-std.jpg "> I want this flag in Subeta!

July 20, 2019, 1:08 am by

It's not that we hate straight people. It's that we hate straight people trying to go "but what about us!!" when there's never been oppression for being straight. I personally appreciate our allies who are straight - it's great you guys support us! But please understand, it's so frustrating when straight people try to make pride about themselves too. Pride celebrations were started for the people who faced hardships of all sorts due to their identities - being cis/hetero is considered normal in society and so really... every day is cis/hetero celebration day.

Someone made the joke "Hallmark channel is straight pride" but think about that - ever seen a Hallmark movie with a transgender or homosexual (or even bisexual) character? I haven't. And my mom BINGES that stuff. I could be wrong, maybe Hallmark's done something and I've missed it -- I would like that but I doubt it!

At this point I'm just rambling because I've got a lot of frustration with this "but straight people are being excluded!" mindset. Because think about it: most love songs (that aren't vague lyrics)? Straight. Most movie romances? Straight. Most romance novels? Straight. Most media overall? Straight. Valentine's Day content? Straight. Relationship/romance/wedding/etc related content? Straight. You're not excluded. You're a VAST majority of the content to begin with.

I'm probably super late commenting because I took a long ass time typing (listening to creepypasta at the same time oof)

July 20, 2019, 1:02 am by

I definitely will! I appreciate your feedback, I hope I didn’t come off as too cross.

July 20, 2019, 12:58 am by

Just use the rainbow flag to show support. It's supposed to include all identities and sexualities + it's the most recognizable. Many places near me also use something like this to advertise that they're allies.

July 20, 2019, 12:58 am by

Pride isn't just a celebration, it's a protest too. It's about being open and visible in a world where there are a LOT of people who want to shove us back in the closet. It's about STILL having to fight just to buy a gods damned cake for our weddings. It's about clawing and scrabbling just to get some pop culture representation where we're not just wacky best friends or yet another case of the Bury Your Gays trope.

Most of us are happy to have straight and cis allies and we appreciate those that are willing to do it without any fanfare. But even in countries with marriage equality a lot of us still take our lives in our hands just walking outside. Others are struggling each day just for recognition that they even exist. Straight cis people are considered the default and almost everything in society centers around them. All we're asking for is just one month out of the year that can be just a little bit about us instead.
