• UNY AND RISTANCE: THE HISTORY BEHD THE GAY PRI FLAG

THE ORIG OF THE GAY MEN’S PRI FLAG AND ITS MEANG

The (cis, whe) gay man has always been at the centre of pri movements, but as people opened their mds to clu all LGBTQ+ inti the movement, the rabow flag creasgly solidified s posn as one that reprents the entire LGBTQ+ time, mand grew for a flag that specifilly reprents gay men. This 5-loured (and sometim 7-loured) gay men pri flag was signed  2019 by Tumblr er @gayflagblog, but wasn’t whout ntroversy.

GAY PRI

Meang behd the lours:Turquoise to green lours reprent muny, healg, and joyWhe reprents genr nonnformg, non-bary, and transgenr folksBlue to purple lours reprent pure love, fortu, and diversyWhile the gay men’s pri flag is another lser known pri flag. It featur different shas of green, blue and morn gay men’s pri flag is a revamp of an earlier gay men’s pri flag that featured a range of blue ton. That versn was problematic bee ed lors that were stereotypil of the genr updated flag is clive of a much wi ranger of gay men, cludg but not limed to transgenr, tersex, and genr nonnformg men.

This morn gay men’s pri flag is a revamp of an earlier gay men’s pri flag that featured a range of blue ton. That versn was problematic bee ed lors that were stereotypil of the genr updated flag is clive of a much wi range of gay men, cludg but not limed to transgenr, tersex, and genr nonnformg Reason a Flag is Need In The First PlaceThe rabow flag has always been the most popular flag for gay men to signify gay-ns and still is, even though this flag is gag some populary. Bee of the centrg of (cis, whe, rich) gay men general, due to our world’s generally patriarchal morn stcture, society’s image of the LGBT+ muny, the rabow flag om 1978 and s new 6 stripe form has often been mistakenly attributed to gay men particular, spe the rabow flag beg a liberately clive flag that clus all LGBT+ people.

MLM PRI (GAY MEN*)

So, for a while, gay men and lbians didn’t have popular, wily ed flags for our specific inti as gay men and lbians, though more flags started to be popularised for specific inti, such as bisexual, transgenr and asexual while prev lbian and gay male flags hadn’t achieved wispread e.

Lbians and gay men started g the ter to figure out specific inty flags.

‘‘ was ma by a *sert bad adjective here* person’‘A lot of people seem to believe that the @gayflagblog flag was ‘’ma by a tscum/misogynist/[sert bad active here’]’. @gayflagblog is an anonymo acunt that do not talk about issu that are not to do wh the flag, and specifilly has ma the flag clive of all gay men, which mak the accatns factually Flag Blog: Stripe meangs were spired by my rearch of LGBT history, my and others experienc as gay men, and the meangs on Gilbert Baker’s origal flag (which I love arly and hold close to my heart).
