hey! im a lesbian and im not discoursing i promise, but i did ask my well informed mlm friends about the toothpaste flag post you reblogged and they linked me sources saying the racism claims about the creator are false! i genuinely dont care about your opinion of the flag one way or another but i thought i'd tell ya so youre not unknowingly spreading misinfo. its addressed by the creator @ gayflagblog if you wanna look into it yourself :0
Ah yeah, I looked a little into it and the op of that post did add a correction, the original one WAS created by a bigot, and then someone else (gayflagblog) just slightly edited it and thats the one that people use but the difference is so minimal people get them confused. I did delete my reblog though, bc of the misinfo
here's the flags for comparison (took this image from this thread that op linked in the post as well)

I do think it's funny when people make flag discourse over the various gay guy flags with the most popular one being the toothpaste flag that existed before Emily Gwen (who is still living in intense poverty and ignored by any of these discoursers btw) created the current lesbian flag its like. The funniest part of June in its absolutely authentically too online nature. If you care at all, all I can say is get a job cause like. Really. If you have time n energy for that why dont you try and make money so maybe you can do something good for your community like help Emily instead of bitching about fucking stripe colours on a jpeg? serious question.
