Not happy to read « relating to disability »… of course « deaf flag » relates to disability for a lot of people. Words have impact. To choose « deaf flag » instead of « sign union flag » is an error. I know it since many years of experience

@vexiupdate Just a little correction. There is no link with disability. Of course it s WFD who voted it, but it s about sign langage. Sign langage for all. Not only for deaf 😏
Recently @ArnaudBalard, creator of the #SignUnionFlag to represent the sign language community, asked if I’d like to make it. It’s bigger than any other flag I’ve ever done but still bears little resemblance to the original. Look it up!
