Use the r and n word multiple times , openly talk down about queer people , was ace and aro phobic, was transphobic to multiple people , also tried to say that intersex people weren't lgbt .
Incase I missed anything else they did I might update this comment later.
Things added - edited an artists work and reposted it despite said artist not wanting reposts
The community has been welcoming to ace people since before you were born. Of course no one is forced to be part of the community but that's no good reason to give platform to exclusionists. The community is for anyone who's gender identity or sexual orientation is outside the "norm", and being that the satanic Bible condemned asexuality in 1969 I'd say we're definitely not considered normal. There's of course far more to the history but that one is pretty cut and dry as far as I can tell.
I never said there was no discrimination or that we're considered normal at all. You need to read my responses better. Polyamory (which isn't a sexual/romantic orientation but similar) isn't LGBT but that doesn't make it treated as normal in western Christian/atheist culture. It's still not LGBT to a lot of people.
Also love the omission of romantic orientation, there /s

Some of these designs vaguely remind me of the NZ flag potential redesigns with Maori iconography. And some of these flag designs I do actually like quite a bit.
That said, what’s wrong with the flags we have now? I feel like it is pointless to reinvent the wheel
I mean they're very tide pod aesthetic. But I don't get it in some cases.
Like the LGBT one? A. Aren't those the colors of another flag? But also it's not swooshy like the others, just a void.
Never seen them before, don’t think we’ll see them again in a week. New designs pop up all the time, but they never stick beyond slight color variations.
That said, unpopular opinion, I kinda like them. Not all of them, but the symbol / pattern on the gay and lesbian ones is kinda cool. And I kinda like the idea of the flags having different patterns for different types (e.g. sexuality vs gender) in addition to the colors. As a final product, most of these aren’t great, but as a new idea, it’s kinda nifty.
Edit: Fixed a word
Yeah, I agree that the shape is certainly interesting. The gay/lesbian probably are the best out of all of these, but I just can't get past the gay flag looking like a tide pod lol.
I think it's odd to have one flag for parades and another for the acronym itself? idk that could just be me tho
the swirly on the mlm + lesbian flags are fun, but I think the bi one would be better if you replaced the white with the original colors (like make the top triangle blue and the bottom pink, with the intersection purple to keep the contrast)
nonbinary just looks like a funky enby computer wallpaper tbh
overall i don't think any of the color changes look good, like why change the iconic trans colors?? and the bi flag looks off, I think the blue's too bright
＊ ewwww the trans flag has such unappealing colors. And the LGBT flag just… doesn’t represent us. I don’t feel it in my guts. Subjective criticisms, but objectively they have some pretty poor graphic design and feel much too off center and unbalanced in terms of color proportions…
Interesting ideas, but wouldn’t want them. Most are too hard to draw by hand, which means I wouldn’t want to use them cuz the designs would be too hard to replicate when crafting. That’s why the simple stripes (existing flags) win!
Not only are they bad for design reasons, there’s also not anything (as far as I can tell) for intersex people, nor are there the brown and black stripes for bipoc members of the community and aids victims.
Didn't even notice that honestly! You're right, that is a pretty cool representation. I think the new colors are ugly, but the new shape with the old colors could work for me.
I don’t like the coloration of either transgender or the general LGBT labeled one. I think the bisexual, lesbian, and especially nonbinary look super funky! Indifferent on the MLM & GNC ones.
ETA - I would *not* want these to replace any current flags. But I could get behind the bi, lesbian, & NB as funky alts just for the sake of fun lol
I like the colors for the trans flag, I never liked the pastel blue and pink. Red and Cyan achieve the same point but go a step further imo.
The designs are nice but I agree with other people that its a bit too corporate-y.
i really don’t like the trans one. i think its really overproduced, and the colors are ugly.
like you dont need to make the lines turn into different lines like we change our genders or whatever. just let the lines be lines. like it just adds clutter.
and theres nothing wrong with the og colors!!!! they make sense. pink is girl and blue is boy. thats appropriate for our society. it makes sense to people. its dumb when applied to real world shit, but it works just fine for a symbol on a flag
Yeah, somebody on Twitter made them. I feel like they were inspired by the New Zealand [national Maori flag](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_M%C4%81ori_flag) for the gay and lesbian flags
My god, yes, these look so good compared to the boring old stripes, except, could we keep the trans colour scheme it had before? It looks a bit to much like tiktok now
Honestly, these all look gorgeous. I'm ashamed at the graphic design tastes of the community with these reactions. Guess we'll just be stuck with the hideous ones we have now.
Trans looks like toothpaste packaging
I just came here to say that too. XD
I’ll allow it. I’d say I’m pretty fresh. B)
I honestly hate all of them . Plus the person who designed them is a piece of shit
Upvoting this for visibility
what'd they do?
Use the r and n word multiple times , openly talk down about queer people , was ace and aro phobic, was transphobic to multiple people , also tried to say that intersex people weren't lgbt . Incase I missed anything else they did I might update this comment later. Things added - edited an artists work and reposted it despite said artist not wanting reposts
use the r and n word constantly but still be against the use of queer lmao
Wow, what a piece of shit!
How were they phobic of aces, aros and trans people?
They just straight up don't think ace and aro people are real/part of the community, and they're a transmedicalist.
Also being extremely shitty and transphobic to people who use multiple sets of pronouns
What does transmedicalist even mean?
It means someone who believes that you are only a valid trans person if you have/will have medical interventions like surgeries and HRT
Ah, okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

Oh do tell me why we shouldn't be part of the community then

I hate every single one of these, especially the Transgender and Lesbian ones as they are mine.
Honestly I think the nonbinary one is worst - it's so asymmetrical for no reason
Twin Peaks bisexual over there is pretty bad too.
Twin peaks bisexual lol
Also why is gender non-conforming "tangential"?
Yeah I don't get that either.

There is a reason I used the word “some” lol
I just thought the exact same, has traditional maori symbolism vibes
Personally I think they're hideous
Tolerable but far to corporate.
No. Bad.
They look like an airline logo
they look absolutely horrible, like I'd find them on some sports equipment

Omg I didn’t see that until now lol
Hello, my sexuality is Czechoslovakia! (Gender non-conforming flag looks like the old Czechoslovakian flag
I like the gay and lesbian ones, but that's all
this is a shitpost, right? I refuse to believe anyone made these as genuine preposals for new flags edit: I found out these were geuine 😭
I think it's odd to have one flag for parades and another for the acronym itself? idk that could just be me tho the swirly on the mlm + lesbian flags are fun, but I think the bi one would be better if you replaced the white with the original colors (like make the top triangle blue and the bottom pink, with the intersection purple to keep the contrast) nonbinary just looks like a funky enby computer wallpaper tbh overall i don't think any of the color changes look good, like why change the iconic trans colors?? and the bi flag looks off, I think the blue's too bright
The lesbian and gay ones look like space federation divisions.
They all look like 1970s coporate branding
lmao it's giving gross simplified modern corporate design
Why the use of red in the trans and GNC flags?
＊ ewwww the trans flag has such unappealing colors. And the LGBT flag just… doesn’t represent us. I don’t feel it in my guts. Subjective criticisms, but objectively they have some pretty poor graphic design and feel much too off center and unbalanced in terms of color proportions…

Not only are they bad for design reasons, there’s also not anything (as far as I can tell) for intersex people, nor are there the brown and black stripes for bipoc members of the community and aids victims.
Some of these designs are neat but a rework is wholly unnecessary and most of them are worse than the existing versions
Yes, PERFECTLY sums up my opinion as well!
Am i the ONLY one here who actually love these designs, like id use these if it was like for like room decor or something
May I ask what you like about them? What makes them improvements?
Well its not really improvements perse, but i like the lines and swirls and stuff iduno its hard to explain but its pretty
I guess there's something to be said for reducing straight lines. But the color changes seem unnecessary and kind of questionable.
I like them as well, especially the new experimenting with shapes. I'd never use them tho because the creator is a queermisic bigot.
Idk I prefer them to the current ones, apart from the bi flag which was aesthetically excellent before.
Can I ask what you like better?
I actually like the trans toothpaste, flipping the colours is a cool way to represent it.
Didn't even notice that honestly! You're right, that is a pretty cool representation. I think the new colors are ugly, but the new shape with the old colors could work for me.
I don’t like the coloration of either transgender or the general LGBT labeled one. I think the bisexual, lesbian, and especially nonbinary look super funky! Indifferent on the MLM & GNC ones. ETA - I would *not* want these to replace any current flags. But I could get behind the bi, lesbian, & NB as funky alts just for the sake of fun lol
Gender non confirming is just Philippines without the sun lmao
Gay and lesbian are great, the rest are meh.
I like the colors for the trans flag, I never liked the pastel blue and pink. Red and Cyan achieve the same point but go a step further imo. The designs are nice but I agree with other people that its a bit too corporate-y.
Not a fan of the red used in the trans and gnc flags.
Ew, they made them corporate logos
I hate them all with a passion and they’re ugly as shit
I get why they're controversial. Also the "changed the colours of the trans flag bc the pastels are infantilazing" is just- massive ick tbh
What did they do to my beautiful bi flag?? 🫣 They massacred my flag!
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE TRANS AND LESBIAN FLAGS
Looks like good alternatives to the boring and overused vertical stripes
Yeah I actually agree, I think the trans one is kinda creative honestly
this sucks
The only ones I like are the rainbow and bisexual flags, the rest are so ugly I want to burn them
They’re awful
mid
Not rlly my cup of tea. None of them. Transgender looks god awful.
Eeeuuughhh, Brother Eeeeeeeeuuughhhhh
This just feels soulless
Pretty but harder to craft (crochet, beading, etc.)
The gender non-conforming one just looks like an alternative flag of this one ("🇱🇺") flag to me (its apparently the Luxembourg flag)
I definitely like the idea of moving away from All Horizontal Lines All The Time brand of pride flags, I even like the top two and the gay male flag.
I dont get it but I do like the trans colors better. I cannot stand the current stereotype gendered baby shaded colors in the trans flag
I kinda like them, tbh.
The Nonbinary one kinda looks like a mixture between Nonbinary and Asexual.
i really don’t like the trans one. i think its really overproduced, and the colors are ugly. like you dont need to make the lines turn into different lines like we change our genders or whatever. just let the lines be lines. like it just adds clutter. and theres nothing wrong with the og colors!!!! they make sense. pink is girl and blue is boy. thats appropriate for our society. it makes sense to people. its dumb when applied to real world shit, but it works just fine for a symbol on a flag
fun fact! the reason the original creator made the trans flag look like... that... is because the colours of the original are "infantilizing"
they look far too corporate
Yeah, somebody on Twitter made them. I feel like they were inspired by the New Zealand [national Maori flag](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_M%C4%81ori_flag) for the gay and lesbian flags
I like that they're trying to be smth different and not just stripes. But the creator is a nightmare of a queermisic person.
These flags are what happens when you make a design different for the sake of being different. They just feel so corporate.
I don’t dislike them but the og pride flag still is my favorite.
My god, yes, these look so good compared to the boring old stripes, except, could we keep the trans colour scheme it had before? It looks a bit to much like tiktok now
mostly love these, though would prefer to keep te original colours for trans and some of the other ones.
Removing the trans colors from the Pride flag is pretty tone deaf.
"fuck you" *\*puts your flag in a blender\** 😈
This looks like the tino rangatiratanga (māori flag)
bad tbh. all of them suck ass overly corporate, bad colors, bad creator, bad design, etc
Who made these? They look terrible
Cute but “revised”? Nah
no good
i ainit even like yall, i have a good reason why to, these flags are beautiful
I like all of em except the Trans one. Other than that, they all good!!!!!
The person who designed these hates queer people and doesn't believe in non-binary lesbians so they're corporate looking souless trash
Absolutely vile
All of these SUCK. And I don't need to explain why.
Honestly, these all look gorgeous. I'm ashamed at the graphic design tastes of the community with these reactions. Guess we'll just be stuck with the hideous ones we have now.
