As it is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, I thought I’d create something to celebrate so I hope you like these! I think I have covered the majority of the flags, but if there are any that I haven’t please let me know and I will add them to my next post.

Olympic rings were made from trees grown from seeds brought by international athletes for the 1964 Tokyo Games.
Olympic torches were made with recycled aluminium used in temporary housing unit built after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The theme and motif reflect people's yearning for recovery.
Olympic medals were made with metal from recycled electronics that were proactively donated by country's citizens over two years.
The Olympics is a unique experience, because once every 4 years I watch sports I don’t understand and that I’ll never watch otherwise just because it’s the Olympics.
I see your Olympic posts, and I raise you paralympians listening to their medals.
OH AND BY THE FREAKING WAY:
Tokyo will be the first Paralympic Games in which the paralympians are paid the same as the olympians. ABOUT DAMN TIME.
Yeah, that’s right. Paralympians have been paid less than olympians this whole time.
Edit: This is apparently specific to the United States paralympians. Which I’m glad something has been done about it, but now I’m pissed that not every paralympian is getting that equal pay.
