Hamtramck, Michigan, a two-square-mile city outside of Detroit, voted unanimously Wednesday to ban LGBTQ flags from city properties, adding to more than two dozen municipalities and school districts across the country that have passed similar restrictions. The Hamtramck City Council cited religious freedom as the reason for the ban, after numerous residents said during a three-hour public debate that the pride flag clashes with their religious beliefs.

Rainbows and Rage - A History of the Pride Flag (Part 2):
In this part, I will be talking about the Progress Flag, its inspiration and some of its more interesting variations.
Tumblr media
The Philadelphia is possibly one of the most used variations of the rainbow flag, aside from the Progress Flag, and may have possibly been an inspiration for the progress flag.
Tumblr media
It added black and brown to highlight racism in the LGBTQ+ community and was designed as part of a collaboration between Philadelphia's Office of LGBT Affairs and the company Tierney. It was the first change to the rainbow flag to be "officially" recognised, but was also contraversial.
In my opinion, it is a great flag to highlight the importance of intersectionallity within the queer community, but it should not be used in any way to replace the original rainbow. Doing that would imply that BIPIOC were not originally represented by the rainbow and need to be added on seperately. This is absolutely not true and as a community the last thing we should be doing is dividing ourselves up. The idea of the rainbow was that everyone of all different genders, races and identities were united as one powerful community, and we should be continuing that sentiment forward.
Additionally, the "officialness" of these changes really contrasts to the creation of the original flag, and I believe that symbols are best created from within a community rather than introduced by someone who is "in charge".
However, I need to mention that I am white, which means that my opinion will never be as valuable as opinions from people who are meant to be represented by this flag. I have usedvarious opinions from BIPOC, to inform my conclusion, but there does not seem to be any clear consensus about this flag and my opinion may be influenced by my unconcious biases.
Tumblr media
The Progress Flag, created in 2018 by Daniel Quasar is arguably the most popular and contraversial iteration of the rainbow pride flag.
Tumblr media
The aim of the flag was to emphasis that there is still progress which needs to be made with LGBTQ+ rights, especially within marginalised communities. The chevron pointing right is meant to represent the idea of forward progress and the colours of it represent marginalised communities within the LGBTQ+ community: white, pink and blue from the trans flag, and black and brown inspired by the Philadelphia flag to symbolise BIPOC. The black also represesnts people who have died from/are living with HIV/AIDS.
My views on this are similar to the Philedelphia Flag: it is good and the message behind it is good, but it should not replace the original rainbow. The only difference with this is that it is also not at all aesthetically pleasing.
Tumblr media
In 2021, the flag was updated by Valentino Vecchietti to include intersex people:
Tumblr media
This addition is fascinating to me, because it so clearly reveals one of the Progress Flag's main issues, and rather than solving it, it contributed to the problem. The Progress Flag aims to highlight trans BIPOC experiences, but when it is used as a replacement for the original rainbow, that automatically excludes anyone else. This soon turns into a competition of who is the "most oppressed" and who deserves a special place on the flag. Clearly this is unproductive and divides the community with pointless discource. This flag proposed that intersex people were one these "most oppressed" groups and added them to the flag, which makes the question: why aren't [minority identity] group of people on the flag?, a reasonable one to ask.
(Ohio Flag Meme)
Additionally, the main use of this flag is by corporations, because it makes them seem "inclusive", but this is a performative sentiment, and does not help the LGBTQ+ community at all.
Tumblr media
However, one version of the flag that does seem to have good intentions AND a good record of use is the New Pride Flag by Julia Feliz:
Tumblr media
I don't think I can do this flag's explanation justice, so I highly encourage you to read about it on its website: The New Pride Flag.
Tumblr media
This had been part 2 of my series of posts on the rainbow flag and I have a lot more that I am excited to cover... If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them! I would also encourage you to approach my opinions cautiously and do some more research before you form you own about these specific flags, because there is a lot more nuance than I can fit into one post :)
Whichever flag you love: fly it with rage, rainbows and most importantly PRIDE!!! :)

ya know, it's not that i don't like the color stripes, because truly i do--there's some great color combos in there! but does anyone else feel like maybe the pride flags are just...real stripey? like maybe instead of putting new colors to symbolize things, folks can experiment more with other shapes and stuff?

Keep in mind that while this isn't canon, these are both headcanons and our& introjects' identities ( which oftentimes are but aren't always interchangeable ) — this is who they& are and we'd& appreciate if you respected their& identities as you would with a singlet's. This was made for our& constellation / system in mind — as plural people. Please don't treat them& like rp muses. Singlets can reblog but don't clown. Okay to reblog as fandom. Do not reblog this as headcanons, roleplay, aesthetics, kins, F/Os, IRL/Me or D/A's. We& are a mixed, multigenic DID system and we& are not your aesthetic.

Gilbert Baker (June 2, 1951 - March 31, 2017) was a gay American artist, designer and activist, best known as the primary creator of the rainbow flag. In 1972 Baker was living in Chicago as an openly gay man, he was taught to sew by a fellow activist, Mary Dunn, using these skills to create banners for gay-rights and anti-war protest marches. It was also during this time that he met and became friends with Harvey Milk, an influential gay leader, who challenged Baker to create a new symbol of pride for the gay community.
The first rainbow flags were produced by a team that included Baker, seamster James McNamara and artist Lynn Segerblom. Segerblom, who was then known as Faerie Argyle Rainbow, reports to have created the original dyeing process for the flags. Thirty volunteers hand-dyed and stitched the first two flags for the parade. These original flags flew at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration on June 25, 1978.
Though many variations have emerged in the decades since, the original design had eight stripes, with a specific meaning assigned to each of the colours: Hot pink for “sex”, red for “life”, orange for “healing”, yellow for “sunlight”, green for “nature”, turquoise for “magic” (though sometimes given as “art”?), indigo for “serenity” and violet for “spirit”.
I’m a little late for pride month, but I got all this done a lot quicker than I expected considering I only started working on it at the beginning of June (though I’ve been planning it on and off for a few years now😅). I did a lot of research and planning for each piece, and there was a lot I wanted to communicate with the project as a whole - it’s been a lot of work, and I challenged myself with a bunch of stuff I’m not familiar with, but I’m really happy with how everything turned out.
Happy pride, everyone, here’s to our community, to all the work that got us here, and to all the progress still to come! 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️

was gonna make a funny post abt people's reactions to the blue-green gay flag but ive thought about this too much and now im mad.
the current most popular lesbian flag, the one by emily gwen, was made in 2018 on tumblr. i remember before that seeing the lipstick lesbian flag everywhere, and now its very common to see emily gwen's flag used as the official lesbian flag.
so why is that not cringey or terminally online? why is seeing the blue-green flag being used in an official capacity a "oh my god no one but young online transmascs know about this flag why are they using it" thing instead of like. simple recognition that our cultural symbols grow and change. why is the lesbian flag allowed to do that but an alternate flag for gay men is erasing our history or being divisive. no one is forcing you at gunpoint to only use that flag and never ever look at the gilbert baker flag. are gay men not allowed to make new things. i'm sure your hatred for this flag has nothing to do with any underlying negative feelings towards transmasculinity. because any sort of culture built by gay trans men isn't real gay culture if cis guys aren't involved.
edit: sorry i wanna that the og blue-green flag was made in 2019. its literally a single year younger than emily gwen's flag. it also does have color meanings, and yk whats funny? i have never seen anyone give emily gwen shit for having an entirely warm-colored flag. even though its not all pink, its all warm/red shades. sorry is that not problematic because it reinforces gender roles. is the trans flag also bad. why do all these complaints of "its stolen" "its ugly" "its divisive" only come up when gay trans men are making the thing. hey. hey. come back here and answer me

You know the reason radfems cut the recent additions of black & brown stripes off the pride flag is because that new flag offensively implies that Black people and other poc haven't been here all along, that they're a recent addition to the community, that Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag was somehow excluding them? You understand that right?
Except you and I both know that’s not the reason you cut it, because the entire purpose of those stripes is to represent the fact that black and brown folk have always been here and are often overlooked and treated like shit by white people in the community.
You cut it for the same reasons the suffragettes excluded Black women from their marches: because you’re racist, think oppression is an Olympic race and that no one could possibly be as oppressed as a white woman.
This is the exact reason that so many Black women and other WOC cannot fucking stand you 💀 not only are you racists, you lie to pretend that you aren’t.

this pride month i am begging yall to use your brains and stop saying various iterations of the rainbow pride flag are seeking to “replace it” and realize that these flags are 1. not at all replacements 2. meant to raise awareness of specific issues
Tumblr media
this flag was raised over philadelphia city hall during the city’s first annual “pride kick-off” in 2017. this was specifically in response to a massive problem of racism and discrimination against black and brown lgbt people in the city’s “gayborhood” particularly at gay bars and similar venues. the flag was meant to raise awareness of and represent efforts to combat the issue. that year the city also put out new sensitivity guidelines and created a new commission on LGBT affairs with leadership roles filled primarily by people of color and legislative power to punish businesses found to be engaging in patterns of discrimination. it is not a “new rainbow flag”. it was created as part of an effort to address discrimination in a community.
Tumblr media
this flag was created in 2018 by a non-binary designer, daniel quasar, who called it the “progress flag” and referred to it as a “reboot” of the original gilbert baker flag-- not a redesign. it is a flag that is meant to highlight the progress being made in the community and the progress that still has to be made-- hence the name-- and, according to quasar, what is “important in our current community climate”, highlighting current issues and specific groups who are underrepresented or widely discriminated against. the white, pink, and blue stripes represent the trans community, and the black and brown stripes represent black and brown people for the same reasons as the philadelphia flag. the black stripe also represents those who are no longer with us because of hiv/aids, and people currently living with hiv/aids and the stigma they face. this is a callback to a much older alternate rainbow flag, the victory over aids flag, which added a black stripe below the rainbow:
Tumblr media
this flag is from 2001. people adding to or modifying the rainbow flag to represent specific causes is not new, and it doesn’t detract from gilbert baker’s original design. the rainbow flag is still unequivocally the symbol for our community, and alternate versions are not seeking to change that. the creators of these alternate versions are also not saying or implying that the original flag only included certain people and thus must be ‘fixed’ or modified to be ‘more inclusive’.

So we're about to do a restock of our old pins (raised fists, hearts, Faith & Pride and skulls) with a new manufacturer, and Spider thought, "What if we tried out the MLM/toothpaste flag as a limited run to see if ppl like it?"
(Please don't give us suggestions for other flags you'd like to see added on this post - let's stay focused on this one please please thank you.)
Please reblog to get us as many answers as possible, and follow for updates on our pin collection!
