#aromantic lesbians

[telumendils]

so i decided to take one of my autumnal inspired lesbian flags, spruce it up a bit, and give each color a meaning that's personally relevant to my interests as a nonbinary aspec lesbian. the result is a mashup of the nonbinary flag and the sunset lesbian flag using colors i actually like to look at myself.

i also made a version that includes the circle of wholeness symbol from the intersex flag for cis and gnc intersex lesbians who might want a lesbian flag that represents them explicitly. (i only made two versions bc i am not intersex and wouldn't want to give a wrong impression about my experiences by displaying a flag with the intersex symbol on it. this is my way of saying "i see you!" to my intersex lesbian fam without personally using imagery that doesn't accurately represent who i am to strangers.)*

i have dubbed them the harvest lesbian flag and the harvest moon lesbian flag respectively, though this is not set in stone. i honestly just enjoy the autumnal themes for these flags and their aesthetic.

THE COLORS & THEIR MEANINGS, ACCORDING TO ME:

Darkest Red-Orange: Gender Nonconformity

Medium Red-Orange: Independence & Community

Light Peachy-Orange: Love & Peace

White: Unique Relationships to Gender and/or Womanhood

Light Dusty Purple: Trans & Nonbinary Lesbians

Medium Dusty Purple: Multigender & Agender Lesbians

Darkest Dusty Purple: Ace & Aro Lesbians

Pale Yellow Circle: Intersex Lesbians

if either of them resonates with anyone else, feel free to use! if not, that's okay too! we all have our own ways of representing our pride.

* tl;dr: i made both of these flags in good faith but am super open to criticism if anyone feels i missed the mark by doing so!!! i did this all for fun and definitely don't mean to step on anyone's toes.

Happy Pride Month to everyone who gets this joke, laughed at it, or isn’t a homophobic or transphobic etc asshole.

Happy Pride Everyone.

Stay Gay.

"we need more weird queers!!"

you start parroting TERF talking points the milisecond someone says they are a lesboy or gaygirl

you cry when mspec lesbians/gays exist

you refuse to use neopronouns or it/its, even when those are a persons only set of pronouns

you expect a-specs to experience attraction in some way (yes, that includes platonic attraction)

you exclude intersex people

you can't even accept furries.

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

"love is love" until it doesn't include sex

"love is love" until it lives in separate beds

"love is love" until it is queer platonic

"love is love" until it does not comply with compulsory sexuality and amatonormativity

love IS love, for aspecs, for sex repulsed folk and for platonic relationships

"love is love" apply to more than same-sex relationships in a world where romantic and sexual relationships are considered more valuable

Remember to advocate for Asexuals and Aromantics this pride. Because we are also here, and we are also queer

i propose that instead of pride month, we have queer year (queer people are treated like actual people all year long)

I'm wishing a very Happy Pride Month to all the queer people who:

are disabled

are chronically ill

can't celebrate for health reasons

disability gets in the way of their gender representation

disability got in the way of a relationship

don't have anyone to celebrate with

have homophobic caretakers

Happy Pride Month to all disabled queer people
