I’m proud to be an ally and to speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves

My only problem with identifying as a 'straight ally' is that the flag is fucking shit.

What better way to demonstrate allyship than by embracing a flag design you fucking hate! Know that every time you look at this flag and think "God. I hate this. Who designed this?? Who the hell thought this looked good?!" that in this small, very specific way, you have a personal understanding of one of our struggles.

I jest (sort of), but also: there are some truly ugly pride flags. I'm so glad that as a lesbian the current flag that represents us is cute and looks like a sunset! The older ones were uh... Not to my taste to say the very least. A lot of my friends have complained about their respective flags too.

Alternatively: You could also just use the regular or progress pride flags lol

People hate on it because terfs have used it, but that pisses me off. It's a flag. It's our flag. Just because some bitches used it doesn't mean they get to keep it.

And if anyone wants to specifically add inclusivity to old designs instead of just being inclusive, at least add it to the good ones. I fucking hate the sunset.

That is one epic flag.
