Today’s straight flags or heterosexual flags were created the name of “straight pri” – a ncept that, while seemgly harmls enough, is often rooted homophobic and transphobic sentiments. Sce the 2013 “gay propaganda” law was passed Rsia – a law that bans anyone om “spreadg propaganda of non-tradnal sexual relatns” among mors – the Rsian ernment has ntued to crack down on LGBTQ rights the untry the name of prervg “tradnal valu”. Sometime between then and now, an effort to “warn agast” the so-lled “gay-fever at home” and to “support tradnal valu [the] untry”, the Uned Rsia Party unveiled s own versn of a “straight flag”.
The problematic flag was disparaged by crics not jt for s homophobic msagg but also for s strikg siari to the flag of the French group La Manif Pour To, another anti-same-sex marriage group. Glenn Bishop, one of the 12 who sought to fly the flag, told CBC that the group was “not agast the gay pri people at all” and that “anybody’s sexual preference is their choice” – echog nservative sentiments about gayns beg a matter of personal choice rather than an herent inty.

But the legimacy of this so-lled missn to qutn when many of the group’s members are associated wh var homophobic, transphobic, and whe supremacist far-right factns such as the Proud Boys, the New Amerin Guard, and Rist Marxism. They e the rhetoric of the left and play victim out of fear that the world as they know – one where they are ee to exprs their transphobic and homophobic sentiments – will change.
