"What about cis/hetero pride?" Yeah totally, and while we're at it why don't we have a white history month, am I right?
Having pride flags like the above isn't specifically excluding people who are cis and straight because they're catered to groups who are already excluded from a cis/straight dominated society. Not everything has to be about you specifically! If it doesn't apply to you move on and let marginalized groups feel normal and appreciated for once. I really don't get why cis, straight or white people always have to chime in with "what about us?" or "we're all just people I don't know why you need to be special". You already have a whole society catered to you. Let gay people have something celebrating them for once without demanding you be included.

Sorry about the link fail!
Also, could we have Bear Pride and Leather Pride next year, please? ^_^

I am a little bit confused here. I think all forms of sexuality are presented here (basically) except for heterosexuality. Should I be ashamed and hide because I'm pretty sure I'm hetero (I do have thinking that I could be Ace though)?
Does the heterosexuality group even have a flag or colors? Can someone be proud of being hetero and still support and love people who fall under all the other forms of sexuality? I personally think you can, I do.
I am a bit sad because of how much I feel left out and unloved.

These are really nice and all, but I'm EXTREMELY disappointed there's no Intersex sash. I feel like intersex gets left out more than asexuality does.
@strange Human Avatars - Avatars - Pride HAs! sorry I should have said that in my first comment.
I LOVE these flags. <3 I just learned at the beginning of the month that there were flags representing the gender spectrum (I hope that's the right word/phrase please correct me if it's not). I'm trying hard to be the best Ally I can be.
Yes! Yes!! I didn't think we were gonna get anything :) and you included the lesbian flag, which imo doesn't get enough recognition. Super cool. Thanks Quentin + staff!!
YES! I was hoping we'd get something for Pride month and these are beautiful. I especially love the Ace one. ;v; Subeta is a wonderful site. Thank you. ♥️
@Fyn This pride flag isn't for white people to enjoy. It's for brown/black people to feel a little bit more included in a movement they built, yet that did little over time to include our struggles properly. Then again, not worth it wasting time discussing with people who ask us to "leave race out of it", as if being a black latina didn't affect every single aspect of my life, including my relation with my sexuality and gender.
There are a lot of pride flags that won't include you - if you're white, maybe just do the same you do about them and ignore this. This is about black/brown people. Have a good day.

Awesome, thanks! <3 I thought it was, but I wanted to be sure. It's really nice that Ace was included, I feel like Ace is often overlooked. :-)

Thank you, staff! And happy Pride, everyone!! :') Stay safe out there, and have fun!
I'm gonna have to get a lesbian pride sash for my wardrobe, and then probably a bunch more for my pets, haha. Time to do some questing again!

@BitterLimeParakeet

@Strange, I'd rather they not. That flag is criticized a LOT.
It brings race into something about gender and sexuality pride. The flag is inappropriate.
The fact they -only- included colors for black men/women, but ignored all other races honestly just divides the community further. ESPECIALLY when after that flag was unveiled, multiple prides, including DC Pride, had movements from black LGBT individuals to exclude gay white men from pride festivals because they aren't "as marginalized." It's grown a HUGE hate following due to it. It's probably the worst attempt at improving the Pride flag ever.
So no. Leave race out of it. Thanks.s

Hey peeps, we don't need to dogpile on lull for simply asking if there is a cis/het flag. We all know what a sad feeling it is to find an event that your group are excited about, and then to find that you can't get into it because of your gender/sexuality. And I think that asking if there might be a wearable (which would work very nicely on grayscale HAs, too!) does not count as attacking QUILTBAG folks or appropriating Pride.
Would love to see a genderfluid one in the future!! Thank you, Subeta. This means more than you know,
I hate the term "ace" for "asexual" so much (I recognize I'm the only one on earth but then again I also hate the word queer so just ignore me) but I'm happy for these. Thank you.
Wow! I did not know that having a label applied to yourself was so important. I really don't understand more than half of these. It's a pity we just couldn't go about our business just being ourselves.
Does Demi fall under Ace? For a while I thought I was Ace, but I don't want to misuse the sash if it doesn't apply to me. :-)
Thanks so much for these! Especially the Ace Pride one. ♥️ I actually just got an ace pin at my local farmers market on Saturday and I was shocked to find it there. A nice old lady was selling them along with her handmade soaps and it was just a very pleasant surprise in the middle of conservative PA.
I second having these in plain/other colours. They're really nice sashes but none of them apply to me, and I feel like it would be pretty crass to use them as just colourful fashion accessories.
Thank you so much for the Ace one!! I may put it on my HA even though it'll just be floating in space :P
@Decadent - thank you, I hadn't looked. I guess I was coming from a naive place were all pride was the same but just for different things. You saying about the white pride was like oh my gosh yes makes sense. I think it's really sad that hetro pride has been manipulated by haters. You should be able to be proud of who you are without it being a call to arms.
@lull
hetero pride wouldn't have as mixed of a reaction if it wasn't associated with openly anti-lgbt groups and organizations. just google "heterosexual pride" and look at the images that come up and that's really all that need to be said.
it's kinda like how you're allowed to love yourself if you're white but if you start going around saying "white pride!" even with most innocent and pure intentions... people will have a problem with you, lol

@PhoenixRose - Snappish, you think?! I don't need to be told my history by anyone thanks very much y'all.
I think Subeta should be a place that doesn't judge nor differentiate due to gender or sexuality I'm sorry if you think that is a disrespectful opinion @Marine
Since when has Subeta every stuck to societies "default", that's what makes it so great. It's a wonderfully inclusive diverse place. I asked a question with no malice or meanness just thoughts of inclusion and equality and just because I want to include everyone it's a problem. Well then maybe Subeta isn't the wonderful inclusive equal rights place I thought it was.
We are all people. No one is better than anyone else, we all just have different histories.

Re-reading my comment, it can be taken as being snappish. It's not intended to be. People have said it sounded a bit tone deaf. Those are the reasons why. Be proud of who you are, always, regardless of where you stand in the majority/minority spectrums out there. Just let people have their spaces.
