If the "stop calling me a homo" kid was a flag

Quite a pull to not use straight lines on a straight flag.

They're too manly for hair.

Follicular testosterone sensitivity.

I'm confused at why an LGBTQ community wouldn't take the strategy of forceful adoption. Mostly under the point that they offer a home to all. However, it would negate any exclusion arguments against those communities.

Take your adversaries symbols and make them yours kinda thing. A Yankee Doodle approach.

"Where's muh straight flag?"

"Right here sparky."

The straight flag has been around for quite a while. It's black and white horizontal stripes. The ally flag is the straight flag with a rainbow "A" on it.

These guys in the picutre didn't bother doing any research evidently and started flying the wrong flag.

Let's beat them up for kissing girls. Who am I kidding. These guys can't get self-respecting women.

That flag is a horrible design, but how does something "look gay?"

The gay community adopted and have used pastels in messaging for decades, and this flag has pastels in spades.

It's not 100% of course; judging anything by sight alone is fraught*, but pastels in advertising is a pretty decent indicator.

(*) are you certain that's a Nazi Swastika, or is that skinhead Hindu?

What would be a good straight flag that also follows vexillology best practices?

This is what you get when you order a bisexual pride flag off Temu

[-] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Bigot pride!

The one from decades ago was fine and kind of funny actually - it was the gay one but grayscale. This one is shoplifting the trans colors. Also only chuds will ever fly this, so at least it functions as a do-not-interact signifier.
