Did I forget to add anyone else to this?


I was planning to use it as my signature image, unfortunately it didn't resize well enough where it would look good and be the proper file size.

4. The one with the blue, purple and pink stripes is the bi flag.
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 08:01 AM by lightningandsnow
And the cyan/gray/white one is the trans flag. :)

The red umbrella is for sex workers, the heart with the infinity sign is the poly symbol, and I have no idea what the black and white flag is. And I also have no idea what the spade symbolizes. And I'm guessing the paw print is for furries?

In any case, epic win.

7. The paw on the right is part of the Int'l Bear Brotherhood Flag


In the 1990s, there were a number of different flags competing to represent the Bear community. This one, designed by Craig Byrnes, has come to be the most recognizable. Other flags can be viewed here.

The paw on the left, yes, I think that would be furries.

I think the flag in the top part is BDSM, which is a different group than the leather community (although there is overlap.) The only symbols I'm not familiar with are the spade and the triskelion.

5. I love it!
Oh, man, I almost kind of teared up when I saw that. Me and my friends are all represented - and a lot of us are so used to being ignored by mainstream GLBTQ politics. Really, some people act like it's actually the GLsomeotherlessimportantletters community.

Thank you so much! :hug:

(Just one question - are asexuals in there at all? Is that what the black and white flag is?)

8. The Ace of Spades is an asexual symbol.
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 08:44 AM by Eryemil
Mistyped it as "bisexual".
Fixed now.

:bounce:

9. Ok here are the meanings for those that asked!
From left to right, top to bottom they are:

1) Bisexual Flag. (Pink, purple and blue tricolor)
2) Flag of the Dom/Sub ownership subculture. (Shield and collar on black and white bars)
3) Bear flag.
4) Furry subculture "paw-phi". (the claw marks over the Greek letter)
5) Rainbow flag.
6) The labrys, the favored weapon of the mythological Amazons and a symbol of lesbians and feminism.
7) The "Infinite Heart" of the polyamorous culture. (Heart wrapped around a lemniscate)
8) Trans flag. (pink, blue and white tricolor)
9) Leather flag.
10) BDSM triskele. (Three-spoked wheel inside the heart.)
11) Pink triangle.
12) The asexual ace of spades in the triangle.
13) Another trans symbol sometimes used by the intersex, should probably add the Mercury symbol which better represents them.
14) Red umbrella to represent sex workers.

14. Did you want to have straights in there..
...or is this only for sexual minorities?

Damn, do straights even have a symbol?

YAY to the rainbow and the big black labrys bang in the middle!
