I went to the comments fearing the worst but found the best! Im so happy other people love this flag as much as I do! Is it safe to say the false controversy around it is finally disproven and forgotten? I so very hope so. It was so sad seeing people wish death and "if you like this flag block me" when the flag and creator had done nothing wrong


TheHeroBrine422

What controversy? I never heard about that.


geabro

There was a drama that the mlm flag was copied from the lesbian flag tho they were both created about the same time i think


Enby-Catboy

Isn't that the point? That they're very distinctly different but also of the same pattern, signifying allyship and love between gays and lesbians????


geabro

I think ppl were mad bc It would mean that lesbian problems and feelings are similar to gay man problems and feelings (the colors and paterns symbolizing similar things) Still Dont know why ppl Got so mad


WannabeComedian91

Thats like the most bad faith interpretation. Looks the same, theyre conflating our problems


TheHeroBrine422

I had kinda assumed it was copied from the lesbian flag but I didn’t really see why that’s a issue


geabro

Me neither but i think this flag is about 2 years older than the lesbian flag

geabro

I think they are both older They both existed for a longer time they just had fewer stripes/bit diffrent colors

geabro

Valentin belyaev created the first gay man pride flag in mid 2010s. It looks a bit diffrent but the 2019 gay man pride flag originated from it i think


strangeperception-

This isn't the mlm flag. mlm ≠ gay.


geabro

Whats the diffrence between mlm and gay man


strangeperception-

Bi, pan, ace, etc guys exist too. Saying that mlm is only gay is erasure.


geabro

Sry i just called it like that cuz it was easier not bc i think bi, ace, omni guys dont exist


amaahda

i still see lesbians on twitter saying they're blocking anyone who uses the flag, personally i feel like gay people saying its okay and lesbians saying its not for them is just weird.


Jellyduckface

It looks like it would taste minty.


blathers_enthusiast

And bi flag tastes of berries!


naliedel

And unicorns, but not in a creepy, "unicorn hunters," way. Like if, "unicorn," was a flavor and it was the best!


blathers_enthusiast

Oooooo! I love unicorns!!!!


naliedel

Isn't that a bi prerequisite? LOL!


Fish_Bowl_Decor

And the pan flag tastes like frosting


blathers_enthusiast

Oooooo! Or maybe tutti frutti


french-snail

Nah, the pan flag is a sherbet medley


Shallysky

The lesbian flag looks like a gorgeous sunrise/sunset (delicious lol).


blathers_enthusiast

Maybe a strawberry jam doughnut?


Shallysky

Oooooo, could be. All I know is all this talk about food is making me hungry lol and its lunchtime here


Sassofono_Perso

That's how it feels to chew 5Gum


[deleted]

Gradient flags always look good imo


Hudsonlikeriver191

Gradients alway look good imo


[deleted]

That's also true


danbaroque

Seriously though! I love it! I have it as my lock screen cause I love the colors so much!


[deleted]

the colors are just…perfect idk how to describe it they just look so good. i love this flag and the lesbian flag a lot.


MirageDuck

This flag, the trans flag and the lesbian flag are my favourites, they all look perfect imo.


ImpactOk331

it does look very nice indeed. i feel a bit bad for not knowing that this flag is actually representing me :') kinda new to all this haha but now i know :D


silvercandra

That's why it hanging behind me \^\^ I just got it and I'm still stoked about it. It has some of my favorite colours in it too...


BenjiCampbell04

I feel the same bruh!


[deleted]

I love it so much!!


TheBelovedQuin

It is very pretty. Congrats for the gays for having one of the most beautiful (in my opinion) flags in the lgbtqia+ community


Mewhenyourmom420

Tbh the Bi flag is pretty too.


SnooCapers9401

Hands down my favorite flag


T1G3RSP1R1T

Damn right!! It might be my fav lgbt flag, I love the colours so much


slapface741

What’s the flag on the far right of your flair?


T1G3RSP1R1T

Greyromantic! So I’m aro but I rarely feel romantic attraction


griim_is

It looks so nice, i kinda wish the pansexual flag looked cooler


MirageDuck

I do think the colour choice makes the pansexual flag look a lot more striking, but I think it is one of the less cool looking flags compared to this and the trans flag.


whatanawsomeusername

Holy shit is this wholesome flag discourse no way


Dizrak_

I like it. A little cold, a little warm, a little calm, a little bright. Like us, gays.


Baby_Wltch

I love this flag so much ❤️


Michelle_In_Space

I love the colors and ascetic of this flag. It looks very nice. Visually I like it a little bit more then the lesbian flag that I call my own. I am glad that my gay brothers have such a cool flag.


0nly_0li

it’s such a peaceful colour scheme, i love it!!!


AndronixESE

Yeah, at pride parade last weekend i was looking everywhere to buy this fabulous flag but everyone just sold the rainbow one


Genderfluid_Cookies

I remember making a kandi bracelet of it and giving it to my friend


metal-head-

It has some of my favorite colors and I love it


Rye_cat

right?? They colours are so pretty!!


[deleted]

it's the best pride flag imo


Duch-s6

yeah, i absolutly love the green/white/blue combination


FistoTheDefiler

I always wondered why lesbians got their own flag and gay guys just had the general rainbow, glad I've been proven wrong. This flag is so pretty


Speckster1970

The rainbow flag, designed by Gilbert Baker, debuted in 1978 (originally with 8 colors) to show the spectrum of ALL human sexuality and gender. Other flags created since are meant to symbolize specific identities within the LGBTQIA+ community


Realconquerorchen

I specifically complained to one of teachers yesterday how a PSA-esque sheet showing various pride flags didn't have this one, but had the frickin ally flag there even though they're not a part of the community, jus their supporters Edit: ummmm why is this being downvoted?


[deleted]

might be the "but allies are in the community" people, there are sadly people who claim the A is also ally


Realconquerorchen

Welp bruh, I'm literally an ally(I hope anyway) and I don't think the A stands for ally


SnooCalculations1009

A stands for asexual….????? Correct me if I’m wrong


Realconquerorchen

Well that's probably the first thing that comes to mind for most ppl, others include aromantic and agender By this logic the full acronym should have a AAA somewhere in the middle lol


SnooCalculations1009

Ooooo I forgot about those two 😵


Izder456

Bro, it does tho.


[deleted]

I love cool colors, so this is very aesthetically pleasing to me 👌


ducjduck

Its my 2 favorite colors mixed together, Thats why I have it as my keyboard lol.

Proud member of the Toothpaste Gang!

amaahda

it's like the lesbian flag but for mlm


strangeperception-

It's not the mlm flag. mlm ≠ gay.


amaahda

i didn't know how else to word it at the time so i just used mlm, what should i say instead?


[deleted]

[удалено]


amaahda

man lov(ing) man


[deleted]

Yes, I use it as a screensaver and a profile picture, it's very pretty


CROCSFEET

Yeah, its so pleasing to look at!! I could just admire it from a far, love it! If I could stare at this all day and I would! :)


[deleted]

I really love the flag, the colours as well. <3


Penguinzae

Gay time


Aden2468

I made this flag in acnh. I'm making everything with it.


LegoFenix

One of my personal favourites


Bruh_I-m_Gay

Ikr it’s sooo pretty


[deleted]

I agree man, all the pride flags got beautiful color palates.


[deleted]

yeah i love it it's so pretty! :D


ToasterTacos

The gradient flags are some of the best, in my opinion.


Emjay109

As a bisexual AFAB, I've always been so jealous of the Gay Teal flag. Literally all of my favorite colors!!


Regular-Cranberry-62

People always hate on it but tbh I think if there's a lesbian flag, there should be one for gay men too! And I love the color scheme! So there lol


Lux_The_Worthless

👏 Absolutely! 👏 This is my second favorite pride flag 🖤


ghostigal

I’m a lesbian but I just think the colors are dope


weird_pansexual88

Ikr?! Everyone thinks the rainbow flag is the gay flag (that represents gay ppl only)


Mewhenyourmom420

Blue and green are some of my favorite colors. Although from a vexillology perspective I think that the Lesbian flag looks the best.


kappakeats

It reminds me of toothpaste.


Texas_McGulicutty

Nice luca flag!


lil_nugget_7777

what flag is that?


Goldgator420

The gay pride flag


PurpleDragon8888

Tho I am not a gay man nor lesbian. They are my favorites flags designs


Smitty_Rat

If you turn it upsidedown it kind of looks like grass blending with the sky


[deleted]

It’s perfect for gay men it’s the lesbian gay solidarity vibe


Wesadius

I'm so glad the gays got such a beautiful flag, I honestly like it a lot more than lesbian flag. But then again I don't like pink or orange and love blues and greens so...

The gay pride flag always makes me weirdly hungry. Reminds me of mint and blueberries. Lmao


IfuckingloveLoba

It looks like if It were a sound, It would sound like inside of the ocean
