I made a quick icon for queer creators. I know I don’t have all the flags represented, I’ll do more when I get a chance.
I’ll be putting this on all of my professional websites and printing it out for when I do shows so that everyone can see that I’m a queer creator. People have turned away from a sale before when they realized I was queer, I’ve lost money before over it. I could go back to hiding but honestly- if they aren’t comfortable with my identity, then I don’t want their money.
I can’t believe I forgot: Yes! Please share and use this for yourselves. Modify it for your own flags if I forget yours. Print it out for yourself, keep a copy in your booth, put it on everything, post it to social media (credit would be nice, but honestly I just want this to be used- I won’t be hurt if it isn’t credited. My only issue is if its being distributed for profit, this isn’t meant to be sold.)
Also, if you want your own flag represented, here’s an unflagged version:
with the help of my friends, I made a new lesbian flag that has a meaning since the widespread lesbian flag we use has no meaning and was just posted as the lipstick/femme lesbian flag on a blog back in 2010. I know a lot of lesbians including myself who would rather have a flag with a meaning, so my friends & I are hoping this is gonna catch on eventually!
from top to bottom, the meanings of the colors are: loyalty/trust, freedom to love women, trans/nb lesbians, serenity, and pride/love for oneself.
after a lot of input from people on this post, I’ve realized some things that need fixing about the colors of this flag. with the help of my friends again, we’ve made modifications to the flag. the two top colors have changed to fit better together, and the flag as a whole is more saturated. thank you all for your criticisms on the flag because that helped a lot with fixing it! this is the finalized version:
since a couple of people were asking as well, it is okay to use this flag as icons/headers/etc and is okay to use without credit but I would appreciate it since the flag is fairly new. I also 100% don’t mind people who aren’t lesbians reblogging this, as long as you’re being respectful and are spreading this for your lesbian followers I appreciate it!
special thanks to @cerebrite & @maidofluck for helping me with the original flag, and @lesbistani & a friend who does not wanna be mentioned for helping with the finalized version!

Remember to look outside the mainstream presses. Don’t shut queer publishers out of queer lit.”]
Here’s a bunch of Goodreads lists that might help!
I remember when this video first appeared because it was probably the first time I’d come across the concept of a happy settled gay relationship and I really really remember it
Here are the inaugural TEN weapons in my ORIENTATION & GENDER ARMORY series! Each weapon was designed using the flag of the orientation represented for inspiration!
If you want to pick up some sweet D&D/weapons enthusiast/not-just-another-flag-on-a-shirt-related pride gear, check out my redbubble here! I also have an Inprnt if you’re interested in that!
Stay tuned for info on new merch soon! Hope you love them as much as I do!
