#with tiny little rainbow flags

Wanda: the main girl from But I'm A Cheerleader (i.e., she's so deep in the closet that she's convinced herself that being one of the popular kids means that she can't possibly be gay, and has to be sat down/have things explained to her);

Agatha: Annabelle from Loving Annabelle (i.e., a casually out and proud gay that has a thing for getting in trouble);

Rio: the true crime girlies who like to simp online for Jeffrey Dahmer (also know as: murder's part of the package, and I've decided it's funny).

aaaaaanyways. pride month at Camp Half Blood?

if you remember that one post from a while ago (general hc’s about chb), I did say I would do a fully pride post eventually

so without further ado, I present to all my lovely gay demigods:

PRIDE MONTH AT CHB🗣️🗣️

SO we’ve already discussed the decorations of some of the cabins, like Percy putting rainbow hippocampi scales all over the walls, the Demeter and Persephone cabins growing colorful flowers all over their roofs, the Hecate cabin and its Sentient Gay Door

I like to think the Iris cabin is just fully blasting rainbows all the time it looks like a Minecraft beacon

they play capture the flag every June with a pride flag that has the CHB logo on it

limited edition CHB pride merch😭

Mr. D defending trans campers by driving bigots slightly insane long enough to slap themselves and then go back to normal

Y’ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PRONOUN CORRECTION AIR HORNS? THAT’S THE ENTIRE APOLLO CABIN + LEO AND PERCY

Some ignorant prick about a transmasc camper: “Oh yeah she—“

Percy: *AIR HORN* “IT’S HE, BITCH”

Ignorant prick: “Okay Jesus I’m sorry”

A different ignorant prick: *makes some dumb joke about “always being able to tell” and receives at least seven different air horns from all the Apollo campers in the vicinity*

Leo’s been following this one really irritating chick around all day because she can’t figure out one of his sibling’s genders and blasting her in the face every time she fucks up their pronouns😭😭😭

anyways yeah I like to imagine there’s a demigod pride festival somewhere, maybe in New York

or no there’s demigods everywhere I bet they have parade floats all the time in lots of cities and the Mist conceals the “fireworks” which are actually just godly light shows

Apollo rocks up to camp in a rainbow crop top and a pink drink from Starbucks just to sing Born This Way in the middle of the day and then dip again

Aphrodite blessing random queer couples with finding perfect date setups “conveniently” in their paths

all the gods physically restraining Hera when she tries to go fuck with Jason while he’s on a date w Leo

Percy and Annabeth in matching shirts that say ✨BEST BI✨ with the Best Buy price tag logo in the middle

Nico got glitterbombed on June 1st the second he stepped out of his cabin by the entire Apollo cabin (and Jason) and is still finding sparkles in his hair a week later

Aphrodite kids are walking dictionaries of all the rainbow terms, somehow, and they also all know which days in June are for which awareness or pride or whatever flag

campers who transitioned over the school year and coming back to camp a different gender and their godly parent re-claims them as their true self

Percy “I can’t believe I used to think I was straight” Jackson educating some of the younger campers on bisexuality and how, no, you don’t always know right away

Annabeth “I had a crush on Thalia and Luke at the same time and it was horrible” Chase always reassuring the nervous kids that there’s nothing wrong with being queer (and that she’ll fight any homophobic family members they may have)

actually they kind of all do that

Some little kid: “Well……. I don’t wanna tell my stepdad, he might kick me out”

Percy, remembering that his dad kept Medusa’s head after it got sent to Olympus: “Give me your address, I have an idea”

Piper will verbally eviscerate anybody she catches being even remotely homophobic. I mean she will swipe phones out of her siblings’ hands to tell off some ignorant grandmother

Jason does NOT get into physical altercations outside of sparring and literal war, but the closest he ever got was after hearing someone call Nico a slur (Percy and Leo had to physically drag him away from the other guy)

William Solace has white cowboy boots. I Will Start Sobbing On The Spot

Percy and Jason wore matching skirts for the pride festival and it was great— these 6-foot-plus brick shithouses of heroes who have single-handedly won wars aggressively waving tiny pride flags at each other and dancing to IT GIRL on the quad

Cecil and Lou Ellen made these magic rainbow smoke bombs, crawled up on the roof of the Hermes cabin, and slingshotted them into the masses Just Because™️

(Will’s hair was blue and pink for weeks)

RAINBOW WAR PAINT FOR CAPTURE THE FLAG.

Clarisse fucking kicked someone into the lake because they made fun of one of her siblings’ dyed hair

Connor thought it would be funny to leave a mini pan flag on top of Mr. D’s Diet Coke stash, mostly as a harmless joke, but the next day he noticed Mr. D had tucked it into his horrible Hawaiian shirt pocket like a handkerchief😭

watching Love, Simon in the amphitheater for movie night and half the campers had to excuse themselves early for sobbing too hard

Malcolm and Annabeth reread Red White and Royal Blue every summer. They say they’re Henry and June, Connor is Alex, and Percy is Nora

(this is confirmed when the two of them start a foot fight in the dining pavilion with a Chipotle burrito)

Leo IMing Jo and Emmie to wish them a happy pride (and tell Georgina and Waystation I said hello)

Piper and Leo getting into a HEATED debate about whether Velma Dinkley is a lesbian or not

”YOU CANNOT LOOK AT HER OVERSIZED-SWEATER-OVER-MY-PROM-DRESS ASS AND TELL ME YOU THINK SHE’S TOTALLY STRAIGHT—“

”WHAT SHE AND SHAGGY HAD WAS REAL, BEAUTY QUEEN! HOT DOG WATER AIN’T GOT NOTHIN ON NORVILLE ROGERS—“

”LEO! HER NAME IS MARCIE! AND THEY ARE EACH OTHER’S W A L L P A P E R S .”

Jason, sitting in the middle of them, now deaf in both ears: Lupa give me strength

GUYS PLEASE SEND ME SPECIFIC SHIPS OR CHARACTERS TO WRITE PRIDE HC’S FOR I WOULD LOVE TO🙏🙏🙏🙏

[watchyourbuck]

Buck flicks the tiny brush one more time before setting it down on the sink. It looks… decent. It’s a bi flag, just— a tiny bit more purple than the one he copied from Pinterest. But it works.

“Hey, babe!” Buck calls, tilting his head against the bathroom lights so he can see the flag shine in the mirror. “I’m almost ready!”

This is his first pride as a member of the community instead of just an ally, and his excitement is through the roof. He called Hen and Karen ahead of time to make sure they’d be there, actually. He can’t wait.

“Take your time, Evan,” Tommy says from the bedroom, presumably scrolling on his phone. “We have an hour still.”

“I wanna get there early! The Instagram post said there’d be rainbow cupcakes for the first hundred people!”

Buck steps back to admire his whole ensamble. Tight faux leather pants and a white crop top that says ‘if lost, return to Tommy.’ He’s also got a few rainbow bracelets on and they’re each carrying their own flag — which reminds him he has to get them from the car.

He smiles and makes his way out of the bathroom, only to come to a halt when he sees Tommy getting into his ‘I’m Tommy’ shirt. “Oh.”

Tommy turns to look at him with a frown. He stands up and takes a few steps closer. “What? What’s wrong?”

“Am I doing too much?” Buck asks rashly, his eyes widening. “I’m doing too much, aren’t I?”

Before he can fully panic, Tommy puts his hands on Buck’s waist, pulling him a little closer with a stern look. “Okay, no. You’re not doing too much. Where’s that coming from?”

“You just— you look so,” he gestures vaguely to his boyfriend, opening and closing his mouth a few times. “So day to day.”

Tommy smiles amusedly. “Evan, the fact that I personally don’t enjoy painting a — beautiful, by the way —,” he adds and Buck preens, “pride flag on my cheek doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.” He closes the distance to give him a peck. “You look amazing.”

“I’ve just never—,” he says, clearing his throat. “I’ve never dressed like this before. Never wanted to before today.”

Tommy puts his thumb and index on Buck’s chin and tilts his head to the sides a few times, admiring his handy-work. “So?”

“So, I don’t wanna seem— I don’t know, too eager? Like, the community has gone through- through enough, right? They don’t need a-a man who found out basically yesterday that—.”

He doesn’t get to keep talking because Tommy kisses him again. More intently this time. Buck melts after a second, kissing him back. His heart starts slowing down.

Tommy pulls back, kissing along his jaw. He’s careful enough to not rub off any of the makeup. “You deserve to be there as much as everyone else.” His voice is soft and Buck can’t help but to lean into his touch. “You deserve to celebrate however you want.”

Buck pulls away, looking into his eyes. “What if— what if one day I don’t— I don’t wanna go? Or I rather just— just spend the day with you? Just us?”

Tommy smiles again. “Then we do just that. You don’t have to wear rainbow socks or underwear every year to be proud of who you are, Evan.”

“I’m definitely not wearing any rainbow underwear right now,” Buck says, blushing a little.

Tommy scoffs, closing his eyes for a second. “Neither am I.”

Buck’s fingers curl on Tommy’s belt loops, pulling him closer and trying to look down his pants. “Yeah? Are you wearing any underwear at all?”

“Careful,” Tommy warns, and a low groan’s already starting to form on Buck’s throat. “Or we’ll be late.”

“I thought you said we had an hour still,” Buck insists, looking up, a smirk tugging at his lips. He puts his other hand on Tommy’s hips, pinching at the skin above the hem.

“And I thought you said you wanted to get there early. Something about… rainbow cupcakes?”

Bucks chuckles, walking them both back until the back of Tommy’s knees hit the bed and they fall onto it. “Fuck the cupcakes,” Buck says, pulling up Tommy’s shirt to mouth over his abs. “We can get our own on our way there.”

Tommy laughs, curling his fingers on Buck’s hair and pulling him up for a filthy kiss.

(Happy pride everyone! <3)

[loud-whistling-yes]

Tiny pastel rainbow not even 🏳️‍🌈 rainbow in the middle of the flag caused the flag to be rejected for the 3rd time so now the book in the middle is a trans flag I fucking guess

My class responded to our rainbow flag being banned for including a "sensitive issue that shouldn't be touched on in school" by changing to a pan flag and I think that's beautiful

[drdemonprince]

please please please yall read books like Debt: the First 5000 Years by Graeber and Dawn of Everything by Wengrow & Graeber and An Indigenous People's History of the United States by Dunbar Ortiz. once you understand the sheer diversity of human history a little bit better, and understand fully that the united states is a stitched together blanket of stolen individual properties painted with blood by roving settler militias, you will see why this country is not redeemable or reformable, and why states like Israel are not as well.

i used to believe in electoral politics too. but once youre really about abolition, global decolonization, and land back as fundamental cornerstones of your politics you will not be willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of Black and brown peoples worldwide for tiny table scraps like a rainbow flag on a cop car.

having a democratic politician in office IS having a rainbow flag on a cop car, and the cop car is the united states military. if seeing that feel-good symbol plastered on a tool of mass genocide makes you feel any safer then you were never the person the guns were aimed at in the first place. do you care about the people still staring at the barrel of the gun? or are you satisfied to sacrifice their lives for your own short-term emotional comfort?

[olitheworm]

And so, I have achieved one year on T. I shall use this day as a moment to just express a lil trans joy. And to make trans cookies. Of course🏳️‍⚧️

Also here are the actual cookies. Art do be telling lies, I am not a dog and the cookies do not look *that* perfect. But they are good and I am actually so happy with them lol

Sugar Cookie Recipe + I added a little bit of almond extract (or vanilla extract if you feel so compelled) + to make flags just use food safe dye, and after cooling your dough make a couple layers of dough for each color stack em and "glue them together" with a lil water or they will be likely to break when you handle them. Let that chill for like 10 minutes in the fridge. Take em out, cut off the extra dough to make a nice rectangle. Then cut em, flatten them with a rolling pin or make em into tiny rainbows. You can use the left over dough to make marbled cookies like I did! If the dough gets too soft, throw em into the fridge. If you make em, be patient and have fun :D

I am not a professional, I hope that was helpful lol

Greek mythology in pride month:

Aphrodite and Eros are dressed up in the most stylish way in the colors of the pride flag

Apollo is wearing a golden glittering jacket and nothing under it with less glittery white pants and golden shoes and also wearing golden sunglasses and having a glittery bisexual flag as a cape that almost looks golden and matches his jacket. Somehow he found David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa and is chatting with them

Hermes is wearing bisexual colors and all the wings in his outfit are the same color as the flag and martha and George (the snakes on his staff) have bisexual symbol around their neck

Dionysus is having a party and he is wearing all in pride (and has some pansexuals stuff around) and looking hot (like in the Hades game) he is chatting with Michael sheen

Zeus is busy cheating on hera

Hera is busy catching zeus

Artemis is in her hunter clothes (like in percy Jackson) and the color of her clothes are ace flag and her quiver is full of arrows with fleches that are colored like aro flag. She is giving her trans and enby hunters tips on diy hrt

Athena is sitting somewhere reading queer books (about ace people) while her owl had put a tiny asexual flag on her helmet

Poseidon is busy drowning homophobes

Hades is chilling somewhere and searching what a leather daddy is because Zagreus told him that he looked like one. He sent Zagreus, Thanatos, and Megaera to deal with jk Rowling. He also let queer souls come out of the underworld for a while, people like Freddie Mercury, Achilles and Patroclus, and Hyacinthus

Persephone is making every pride flag with flowers and maybe some of those flowers were once some homophobes or transphobes

Demeter and Hestia are chatting with a couple of old queer people

Medusa wanted to attend Dionysus' party wearing sunglasses, but got distracted when she heard about Neil Gaiman and is now after him

Ganymede is wearing gay (rainbow) flag and he also has his chalice that is filled with a rainbow liquid and has some tiny pride flags (like those little umbrellas but flag type) in it and pouring drinks for people

Ares and nemesis are tempting people to make a war with homophobes and transphobes

Iris is making as much rainbow as she can needless to say she is wearing all rainbow

All the campers from camp half blood and camp Jupiter are at Dionysius' party and hebe is also there. She is wearing rainbow colors as well

Hephaestus is making traps for homophobes. He isn't exactly wearing anything special but all his traps are different pride flags

Chaos is also watching different parts of earth from above, they are made of void and stars so they can't exactly wear clothes but they are turning nebulas to pride flags.

Tiny Pride Flag Bead Lizards

[vaspider]

Hi, Spider!

I have a fun question.

In August, I'm going to be attending a wedding. Husbff is the best man, and Tiny Human is the ring bearer.

I've put together an outfit that mimics the suits worn by the wedding party (navy blue pinstripe pants and vest and a white shirt), with the bride's knowledge and approval.

The bride is concerned that her parents may not be on their best behavior toward queer friends and guests, so she's given me permission to be as outrageous and QUEER as I like. If they're going to cause a problem, better that it happen before the big day.

As a member of the extended wedding party, I'm expected to attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The dress code is more casual than the actual ceremony. I'm not sure how to queer it up at a casual dinner. Any advice?

Suspenders go on jeans or other casual pants. I wear suspenders with pretty much everything. I like these for pants that don't have purpose-built buttons:

Personally, I love colorful socks for a little extra zhush on an outfit, and here I think a great choice might be from fellow PDX business @sockdreams:

You can't go wrong with adding a pronoun pin, of course, and even better if it glitters:

For that matter, if I'm going to recommend my own stuff, I might as well point out that if you don't want to go the suspenders route, you can't go wrong with a button-up shirt:

You know, maybe something really subtle:

:)

LISTEN I HAVE THE BEST LITTLE SISTER EVER

so i came out to her as a lesbian...

and she made me a little paper box craft this and its the cutest!! she painted a rainbow because l showed her the lgbtq flag and she included a lot of tiny flags on it, (she thinks the intersex flag is very pretty? also the bi flag is her favourite 😭 my heart 😭😭)

also also there was a folded up card inside:

[img text: you are a part of LGBTQ (community) because you chose to be yourself. There's nothing more beautiful and powerful than being yourself even though this is how you really are its normal and you are still a human!]

my little sister can understand what l have to say and respect and love me for it. suck it homophobes

[whatcouldpossiblyhappen]

I work in a customer facing job, lots of folks coming through. It was my absolute joy yesterday to see a butch woman walk into the store in the morning, then later...a butch/femme couple, probably early fifties. The couple seemed reticent at first, and they warmed up after I offered some queer indicators in conversation. They all left smiling and relaxed. Y'all, it has made me smile the whole next day after. I saw people out in the wild!

I had my hair cut *short* a little while ago...faded on the sides, a lil curly up top. I need to wear zero rainbows now, because this hair does all the flagging for me. The next day I had an elderly woman come in and start up a conversation about her grandson using different pronouns and how she could figure out how to do that, zero prompting from me. That grandma's world was changing...she just needed a safe place to talk about it. I've had multiple conversations like that since and as long as they're polite, I'm here for it. It makes me so happy to have my job-space be a tiny part of people feeling safe out in the world.

Good Vibrations AU

Lexa is staring particularly hard at the one penis-shaped water stain in the damp ceiling, trying her absolute hardest not to eavesdrop on the couple that was standing a stone’s throw away, arguing hotly next to a hot pink, two-foot-long dildo that Lexa would hazard a guess at being at least as large around as her forearm. The girl, a tiny petite thing with platinum blonde hair fiddles with a bullet toy on the nearby display while the boy, a walking embodiment of a mountain dew and Cheetos gamer, gestures emphatically at the monstrous toy that dangles by the girl’s shoulder. Lexa can practically feel the toy staring at her with its bulbous head, the massive silicone ball silhouette gleaming softly in the dull fluorescent lighting. 

“Babe, I’m just saying, I think it would fit…”

Lexa bites back a shudder as she fastidiously scrubs away an invisible speck away from the display case that houses a frankly staggering array of lubes, both flavored and plain. 

One more year and I will have enough to pay outright for my master’s degree loans, and I never have to step foot in here again, Lexa finds herself thinking with the fervent hope of a thousand suns as she stares unseeing at a strawberry lube bottle that boasts an eye-wateringly bright green label that promises a “Sweet, Slippery Good Time!” 

“You have no issue with my dick, this isn’t that much bigger-” 

Lexa, fighting every demon known not to let out a cackle at the exasperated look on the blonde girl’s face, ducks her head to chew on her lip before moving from the safety of behind her glass and metal counter. Walking purposefully by the duo, she innocently straightens a lacy thigh-high garter that sits proudly in the slightly-frosted windows, just opaque enough to squeak by the city’s stringent guidelines but transparent enough to barely hint at what lay behind the metallic doors of Good Vibrations, Polis’s self-proclaimed best and largest sex shop. 

Kane, the town’s local eccentric but entirely affable billionaire had opened the shop three years ago must to the abject horror of the local evangelical group, led by the most fervent of the bunch, Charles Pike. 

Kane staunchly maintained that the shop existed to promote sex positivity and awareness in a world increasingly fraught with misinformation or staggering layers of prudish beliefs on the topic of sex education. Seething with barely contained hostility, Pike and his acolytes were ordered to cease their weekly prayer circles outside of the front door as Kane managed to find the largest, glittery, rainbow flag with a bedazzled uterus on it and set it flying proudly outside of their front door. 

Much to everyone and no one’s surprise, Good Vibrations does a rip-roaring trade in sex toys and accessories, with customers ordering online from around the world, business pouring in after young and scrappy student journalist Lexa Woods wrote a piece about the story of the local business for a university writing course. She, of course, had expected it to go no further than the boundaries of the sleep little town of Polis, assuming that many students would read the piece and make a note of the store as a place to stagger into when their sweet new girlfriend texted them that yes, they did really want to use the fluffy pink handcuffs, or no, of course, the vibrator wasn’t necessary and her boyfriend always made her O but the girl just figured it would be fun to try the Satisfyer Pro 2. You know, for science. 

Kane had laughed uproariously and framed it when the New York Times picked it up as an opinion lifestyle piece, hanging it just inside the front door with pride. He then offered young Lexa a job. Desperate to fund her dreams of global journalism and international affairs studies, she seizes the chance to work a flexible job with good pay and weekends off. 

Hence why she was currently furiously chewing her cheek again the onslaught of laughter bubbling up in her throat as Gamer Boy makes a show of jiggling the pink monstrosity of a toy near his own nether regions, minutely hip thrusting in the girl’s direction.

The girl rolls her eyes as she wanders away to examine some kinky position dice, leaving Lexa to contemplate the vast and confusing world of heterosexual encounters.

Her rumination on this topic is cut abruptly short by the cheery little chime of the shop’s front door, a high-pitched noise that automatically has Lexa pivoting away from the couple that is now arguing by a pair of furry, neon green garters, and towards the entrance. 

Only to be completely way-laid out by a wide-eyed blonde barreling towards her at high speed, brandishing something oblong and bright purple in her right fist. Completely nonplussed at this strange girl who was clearly on a mission, Lexa cocks her head and squints at the object in her fist, cursing the fact she forgot her glasses today. 

At least it’s not a weapon, Lexa finds herself thinking as bright blue eyes, sparking with indignation, are moving closer by the second. Hang on, is that—?

Skidding on the recently mopped hardwood in front of Lexa, courtesy of a curious frat boy and an exploded bottle of body glitter, Lexa has approximately 4 seconds to react as the girl slips, cartoon-like, feet flying out from underneath her as she fails to find traction on the glistening floor. 

Lexa, acting on autopilot, thrusts a hand forward to try and catch a flailing limb–

Thud. 

The girl hits the ground so hard the glass dildos rattle menacingly in their cases, Lexa’s teeth along with them. The girl peers up at Lexa dazedly, gaze sharpening and seeming to run the full gamut of human emotion before settling into horror. Both sets of eyes were now fixed on Lexa’s right hand, grasping the only thing she managed to find purchase as the blonde fell. 

A purple vibe fits snugly into her right hand, lights flashing at random as the toy gives a feeble bzzt of protest, seemingly in response to being manhandled in their owner’s fight with gravity. 

A strangled “What the fuck?” roughly 4 octaves higher than normal is all a startled Lexa can get out in response, a very gay part of her brain flashing loud rainbow lights as if to alert her that by some strange twist of fate, she has ended up being personally given this very pretty girl’s personal sex toy. Said toy vibrates feebly twice more before going dark and silent, as if satisfied that its death toll was in Lexa’s confused hand. 

The blond’s head hits the ground for a second time as she rolls her eyes back to face the ceiling, seemingly resigned to her fate. Then, as if animated by the gay sex gods, she pops up again to snatch the toy out of Lexa’s hand. 

“You-” Lexa can barely lean back in time as the purple toy sails within millimeters of her nose- “owe me an orgasm, Woods.”

Guys guys okay so about just under five years ago I, (with the help of my brother) came out to my parents as maybe not quite as straight as they thought i'd be.

And today like half an hour ago my mom gave me a back to school gift, (highlighters, but pastel and cat themed I love them so much) but inside the bag there was also this little sticker that says "love is love" and guys i am this close to crying rn

I've been trying to work up the courage to ask her if I can buy myself a rainbow pride flag for my room (for like three years lmao) and I feel like I might actually have a tiny bit of courage to do that now???

(I probably won't lol, I'll wait until I move out for that but still. I dont know. I feel like maybe I have a chance? Maybe she'd say I'm allowed to?)

[jewish-vents]

sorry but ‘non zionist jewish pride flag’ aka rainbow flag with the magen david removed is the absolute most rancid thing i’ve seen in a minute. the jewish pride flag with the magen david isn’t even affiliated with zionism or antizionism. it’s just jewish.

why are you denying yourself the right to use one of our oldest symbols? why are you participating in the attempts to rewrite all jewish imagery, cultural and religious, as part of this weird, vague, and extreme definition of zionism that antisemites are using as a stand-in for all of judaism? you do know the bundists and the yevsektsiya all got killed in the end too, right? stop diminishing yourself and your jewishness. our symbols are older than any modern movement and no one jew has more or less right to them than any other.

i wish i could post this on my own blog, but i don’t want to have people sending me hate again. i’m not even really a zionist in the sense people expect, i just don’t like seeing this type of self erasure. i hate seeing our tiny little community tear itself apart during one of the darkest times in our recent memory. i’m so tired of seeing too many jews divide themselves along extremist lines and start hating each other more than they love being jewish.

[hardcorestitchcorps]

A few years ago, a professor acquaintance asked me to design this pattern for her to stitch and put in her office so I thought I'd finally make it myself. The pattern is free here and there's also a blank version if you wanted to use different flags or flags representing a different issue entirely.

I had mixed feelings stitching this right now, since where is a truly safe space other than the tiny one we might be able to curate for ourselves, if we're lucky. But we can never underestimate how someone seeing their flag, especially a less used one, in an office or public setting, can be a huge comfort. There's also this apt quote from Welcome to Night Vale:

“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?”

I'm not sure how accessible Flickr is for folks anymore, so I'm also putting the pattern under the cut here and some notes about colors.

These are all DMC colors. Keep in mind that dye lots shift over time and please go by what you hold in your hand (maybe you've got a really old or really new skein of one of these) vs what I've said or what you see in the finished image picture (550 as the main darker purple shows up very purple in person but on my laptop monitor it is SO dark, so don't discount a choice based on your screen). Stitching again I might use 312 for the blue in the bisexual flag instead of 517, though realistically it likely makes little difference.

And yes, not every flag can be put here. There are only so many letters and I really wanted the umbrella rainbow flag to be dominant. I tested how it would look with the progress pride flag, but it didn't look great on the letters and would be redundant. You could always use the blank pattern file to change that and free up another letter for a flag I couldn't include.

If you're altering the pattern keep in mind some flags won't work well with certain letters. For example, the demisexual or demiromantic flags should be stitched on an E or F.
