Do you know if pride flags are universal? Just wondering if any other countries use flags that have been created there. I'm guessing not because I think maybe we'd see them on Tumblr, but I also realize that lack of evidence on Tumblr doesn't make that a certainty☺️ anyway, I thought this blog would be a good place to ask. Also, I guess where were all the current standards designed?

Depending on what one thinks of in regard to pride flags (the progress flag, the rainbow flag, the asexual flag, etc.) they are fairly universally used. There is photographic evidence of them being used globally to represent queerness around the world!

That being said, there are customizations galore, both to represent individuality and intersectionality. This can mean similar colours but different configurations, additional elements added to flags, or multiple flags melded.

Flags in general usually start with an individual design from an individual person, such as the rainbow flag by Gilbert Baker. But localizing the rainbow design to represent a more specific intersection of identities is relatively common!

While researching, I found this great resource for localized versions of the rainbow flag and their individual uses and meanings: https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/qq-rb_v.html

Here are some that I enjoyed learning about!

Dominican Republic gay pride

Hong Kong LGBT Flag

Lebanese gay flag (Lebanon)

LGBT Flag (South Korea)

I want to thank you for asking this because researching it was an enlightening experience for me! I enjoyed learning about it and am excited to share this information!

One thing that I just realized that was bugging me in the Connor of mind, I know nothing about queer culture in Korea? Everytime I read or watch queer stories it seems the same straight stories (never saw a trans one) with some add struggles of being LGBT, which are not that different than the forbidden love we see in their other stories.

#wedding impossible #i realize watching it #anyway if you have recs of good stories with their community?#but the #kbl #are also really the same #even ones like #semantic Error #that have other queer characters #is there no division between queer x straight culture in Korea?#south korea #korea bl #i mean like when we watch thai bls for example we can see the Angels #or with japonese bl we have mangas that are more specific to gay men #idk #i just knew one gay idol in korea too but just listen to some songs

Intersexism in Korean history

Im Seong-gu

Im Seong-gu (임성구지) was a Korean intersex person from the early Joseon period (1392–1897), whose life is recorded in the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty.

Biography The dates of Im Seong-gu's life are unknown, but part of it is recorded in the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty, in Book 8 - the Veritable Records of Seonjo (Revised). In the annals, Im Seong-gu is referred to as a "man from Gilju", who married a man and a woman. It also discusses how they were full of both ying and yang, which expressed itself through their gender. They were brought up as a girl, married, but the husband was shocked to see their body on the wedding night. They later re-married to a woman.

In 1548, the Joseon court decided that Im Seong-gu was disturbing society and exiled them. The Saganwon (사간원), the opposition to the monarchy, insisted that Im Seong-gu should be executed. However King Myeongjong of Joseon forbade execution, stating that exile was enough. The annals discuss whether they should be killed, like other similar people in India. They also describes how Im Seong-gu wore men's and women's clothes.

Historiography An alternative interpretation of the Veritable Records describes Im Seong-gu as a bisexual man.

Sa Bangji

Sa Bangji (사방지, 舍方知) was a Korean intersex person during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897).

Biography Sa Bangji had hypospadias and reared as a feminine gender role. Sa learned sewing from their mother. Sa Bangji had sexual relationships with widows and Bhikkhunis [a fully ordained female in Buddhist monasticism]. In 1462, the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty recorded that Sa Bangji, a slave, had an affair with a widowed noblewoman.

Cultural depictions A film based on Bangji's life was produced in South Korea in 1988 named Sa Bangji.
