‘‘it was made by a *insert bad adjective here* person’‘Ī lot of people seem to believe that the flag was ‘’made by a truscum/misogynist/’.I think this is just people who mistakenly believe that this flag has big problems (that im going to debunk in this post) and are making fun of it because of that, rather than the appearance of the flag being their main problem with it. People have started making fun of the flag by saying that it looks ‘’like toothpaste’’. this isnt an actual reason to discourage use of this flag. I disagree, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I’m going to go through some reasons that some people have for not only not using this flag, but discouraging its use by other people. why? because enough people wanted something more specific. Lesbians and gay men started using the internet to figure out specific identity flags. So, for a while, gay men and lesbians didn’t have popular, widely used flags for our specific identities as gay men and lesbians, though more flags started to be popularised for specific identities, such as bisexual, transgender and asexual while previous lesbian and gay male flags hadn’t achieved widespread use. Because of the centring of (cis, white, rich) gay men in general, due to our world’s generally patriarchal modern structure, society’s image of the LGBT+ community, the rainbow flag from 1978 and its new 6 stripe form has often been mistakenly attributed to gay men in particular, despite the rainbow flag being a deliberately inclusive flag that includes all LGBT+ people. The rainbow flag has always been the most popular flag for gay men to signify gay-ness and still is, even though this flag is gaining some popularity. The Reason a Flag is Needed In The First Place please check out my sources linked throughout the post for yourself. Let’s talk about the popular and sorta controversial gay flag from shown below.
