It’s giving “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”
To be honest those twats would already be on board with that.

I’m saving those for the big day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_stripes
beatles pride flag
I like this idea. It’s like depressed version of pride flag, indicating LGBTQ people are repressed and in pain
Like a dead coral reef.
Perfect for Florida!
Yes, a distress flag
So you’re the one who stole my bath towel.
Yes I collect gay bath towels
Well, there are worse hobbies…
How can you tell the sexuality of a towel?
edit: I think some people thought I was asking about identifying the gender of the towel. As much as I never thought I’d have to write anything like this sentence: I was asking how to identify the partnership preferred by a towel, rather than anything to do with its hypothetical undercarriage.
If you notice they get wet before you’ve used them to towel off, congrats, they’re into you. If they’re dry as a bone when you use them, they’re really not enjoying it, at all. It’s not rocket science.
Ugh, I can’t believe my towel is only into me after it’s been used by my partner.
This might help determine whether or not they enjoy the company of a particular gender, but you couldn’t use this method to identify, for example, bisexuality. Unless you take group showers, I guess.
Damn, I guess my gay bath towel just isn’t into me. Whatever, I’m still gonna make him rub my cheeks.
I know it when I see it
Wow, toweldar.
In much of the world, they’re all female: la toalla/serviette
I guess that doesn’t really help with sexuality though
Still, I appreciate the revelation!
Lift its skirt?
That does sound like something a toilet observer would suggest.
Wouldn’t that only tell the ‘parts’ rather than the sexuality, gender, and so on?
What are you, a communist?
So you’re saying my bi bath towels were taken by someone else?
Quiet you, I’m trying to buy in while they’re still under the radar.
Don’t give Florida ideas
Just adopt red and white stripes. See what they do then
Florida always at the ready for ideas that can harm children.
Don’t tempt them. It’s hard enough to cross the street as it is.
lol … conservatives would be the first to happily just get rid of cross walks altogether … both to not acknowledge LGBTQ+ and also to give more freedom to vehicles and get rid of “pedestrians”
A good wholesome road needs to be safe for our traditional family SUVs and free of these dangerous ((pedestrians)).
“It’s for the children! No more crosswalks! Just frogger it, kids!” -Ron DeSantis
Kids these days still play Frogger, right?
the united colors of benetton would approve of those flags
Nobody tell them about the cishet ally flag which is almost exactly this… ;)
Having just checked that flag, damn, we don’t get any fun colors?!?
The ally flag gets fun colors! It’s the black and white background with a rainbow ∧ shape. I wear this as a pin sometimes. Also my favorite restaurant has one hanging proudly inside.
I am 100% in favor of the message behind this flag, but holy crap it’s a real eyesore. Same with the Progress Pride flag and some of the other LGBTQ flags. I keep hoping some skilled graphic designers out there will come up with cleaner designs.
Idk, I like the Progress Pride flag. Imo it makes sense and represents pretty much everyone. Yeah it has a lot of colors, but the design itself is pretty straightforward
So, your question got me wondering. I went on a whole search down the rabbit hole, and I eventually came upon a YouTube video that summarizes it briefly and elegantly:
Lmao it’s been a minute since I’ve seen this. Guess I’ll go get some Starbucks and watch some Friends to recover from this burn.
As a queer circus performer, I hate that flag since half my performance wear is black and white circus stripes
Just adopt the Florida state flag?
That feels about as appropriate as the Nazi flag
I tell people that the back the blue flag is for pedophiles. It’s fun to fuck with their nonsense.
Yeah tbh. And it aligns better with the concept of sexuality/gender being more of a spectrum than rigidly designated buckets.
Isn’t the rainbow meant to represent the spectrum. Like how rainbows show the visible spectrum of light?
It would be a lot prettier that way
Are you trying to get the entire dcip3 banned??
I thought of this because of your comment.
Ironically Bryan doesn’t even understand the Bible, as God in the very Bible is described with not just masculine but also feminine and neutral attributes.
They for example are described as being beyond humankind, yet the latter proceeding forth from them. Guy, gal, all proceeding forth from God; in other words, God isn’t a man, woman, but beyond either.
It’s ragebait that he posts and either he knows what he’s doing (likely), or he’s just that dumb/hateful (also likely).
The Bible itself is also pretty contradictionary. For example. God punishes slavery, by releasing the refugees from Egyptian servantry; yet he rewards Adam for snitching on Eve, and makes Eve a slave to him.
The closest analogy to the fictional God is a power-tripping CEO like that of United Health.
These are all straight lines, give me the real gay flag
Sure it has every color but does it have our specific color?
Yeah, this flag only shows saturated hues. This is unsaturated erasure.
Might I tempt you with this alternative proposal?
I complain about saturation representation and you reply with a hue-lightness flag. Smh my head.
It… is kind of a giant mess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ) is a good summary but the modern rainbow color scheme is a somewhat recent iteration.
But much as “LGBT” has become “LGBTQ” and “LGBTQIA” and “LGBTQIA+” and so forth, so too have the flag added and removed stripes. And… a lot of that is intentional animosity since a shocking number of LGBTQIA+ folk are actually REALLY bigoted (the old “jokes” about how bisexual people need to “choose a side” and so forth) and it becomes a whole thing.
I love the intersex-inclusive progress pride flag, which adds designs to the left that explicitly include three under-represented groups (BIPOC, trans+, and intersex).
I once had someone, in earnest, complain at me that if we kept adding chevrons, the flag would have to get wider, and showed me an image that was like 1000 pixels by 20.
And then got mad at me when I asked if I could have that as a scarf :)
Personally, the way I view it, the rainbow is most flexible, as it literally includes everyone (queer and nonqueer), and the progress pride (as in, pride + triangle with whatever is in there) mostly functions as an acknowledgement of especially repressed groups.
View it like how countries have their national days, or how there are weeks of reading focused on a particular theme or subject (school homework included). That, but for queer stuff.
The initialism, “LGBTQIA+”, feels disrespectful too. First because of everyone who falls under the “+” not being as important apparently, but second because it’s just a silly sounding name.
I’ve heard “Sexual and gender minorities” or “SGM” as a more academic and professional sounding replacement, and I much prefer it.
After a while, the acronym just gets too long, especially when you have people complain that their particular group isn’t “properly” represented because their letter isn’t actually included in the acronym other than the “+” and it reminds me of that rap group OFWGKTA with all their ridiculous letters.
I do agree with the “SGM” abbreviation when referring to all groups under the LGBT+ acronym.
I haven’t really heard of those jokes and animosity. We’re not letting ourselves get divided, though.
Comrade, remember that the fight is not with other queers, but with those who repress everyone; the oligarchs.
Why is Red on the left and Blue on the right? Don’t tell the MAGA crowd or they will try to pass another law…
Don’t tell them that how the colours are for the left and right political parties in other countries
Canada, for instance
Uk and Australia as well
