WE OFFICIALLY HAVE A FLAG TO BUY! https://t.co/qnPKVYqqT1
Now comes the LONG thread about why/how this flag was chosen for production (and why the 5-stripe and not the 7-stripe (spoiler: I wasn’t granted permission to use the 7-stripe flag initially)) but thread 👇 1/

@pageeofwandss My Twitter name refers to to lipstick/all pink lesbian flag

@SunelaGoldencat @tracycat9 (Realized that I should note: that company does not give funds to the flag creator…so if they intend to sell the flag themselves then something like redbubble might be a better option)

@SunelaGoldencat @tracycat9 if the creator of the flag you linked is interested the company linked above does custom flags. I am not a flag creator or maker. I just did a poll to figure out which flag to send to the company for…2019 (?) pride so there was a version besides the all-pink flag available.

I have no say in the gay flag (nor do I want a say in it) but it is interesting to me to see just how much history has been lost in such a short amount of time! So! Some very fast history of the lesbian flag and (spoiler alert!) how it originated from the bear subculture flag! 🐻

@Whovian_TARDIS_ You are thinking of the lipstick lesbian flag. The creator of the lipstick lesbian flag is knows to be racist, biphobic, anti-butch, and on top of doing things like using ‘female’ to refer to lesbians. Here are some quotes from her blog: https://t.co/ngAdPsf4RI

(Whoops forgot to post the all pink lesbian flag. Ah Twitter, how I hate that things can’t be edited. Anyway here is that one: goes between the lipstick lesbian flag and the Butch flag

is that is seems a little hypocritical for lesbians to tell them “no” since our flag only exists because of them.

3) the creator of this flag (5-stripe/community lesbian flag)’s current tumblr is https://t.co/RkyMB3MKQ9 where you can find out more about her. Some of her information has changed since the making of the 5-stripe flag including that she now identifies as cis.

The profile for this Lesbian flag as approved by its creator is as follows:

@aspectaqueerlar @sodadeprived @Makice_Hit @fruitbloods @sketchysilver Sorry, I wasn’t meaning to argue any points, mostly just to provide direct sources that show your point to be true.

@aspectaqueerlar @sodadeprived @Makice_Hit @fruitbloods @sketchysilver This is the comparison and you can distinctly see how the bear flag influenced the design of the cougar Flag!

[new Lesbian flag dropped. see pinned tweet @lesflagisracist]

@aspectaqueerlar @sodadeprived @Makice_Hit @fruitbloods @sketchysilver You aren’t completely wrong! It was actually ‘based’ (read stolen) from the cougar flag which was meant to “draw attention to the ongoing issue of ageism and sexism in women’s sexuality.”
