This flag was originally a lesbian pride flag proposal for more than just femme lesbians, but has expanded as an umbrella pride flag for all sapphic identities, and has become known in internet circles as “the sapphic flag.”
A lesbian pride flag proposal that isn’t just for femme lesbians and isn’t by a racist, biphobic and transphobic person.
Fact: There is no gatekeeper in the world who can keep you from being who you are.

There is no ‘just’ about friendship. Your friendships are not lesser. Your friendships can be important to you. Your friendships can be your most important relationships. Love doesn’t trump that. It isn’t objectively more important.

EDIT: Typo fixed!
I really don't know how to explain to people that supporting gender liberation (liberation for trans people, liberation for gnc people, liberation from all oppressive gender roles) means you have to be able to see someone you think is cis "crossdressing" and be cool about it. You have to be able to see someone presenting in a way that doesn't make sense to you and not interrogate them about their identity. You have to be able to hear someone express a gender identity you don't understand and go "Huh! Neat," and go about your business. If you truly want gender liberation for all then you have to stop trying to exert control over other people's genders, period.
Your relationships don’t have to fit neatly into either friendship, qpr or romantic relationship labels. Some relationships have elements of multiple types of relationships, some fall outside those labels entirely, some shift over time or fluxuate between different labels.
having consensual sex with someone without being romantically involved with them is not inherently wrong, immoral, predatory, abusive, or anything negative at all.
this does not change if the person having the sex is aromantic.
sex shaming aromantic people for having sex with people they’re not romantically attracted to or involved with is not any more acceptable than sex shaming someone who is not aromantic for having sex without romantic attachment would be.
if you’re happy to shame aromantic people where you would never shame people who aren’t aromantic for doing the same thing, then you’re arophobic. and if you’re happy to shame anyone who has sex with people they’re not romantically involved with, then you need to drag your puritanical ass back to wherever you docked the mayflower and sail the hell away – either way, you’re the one in the wrong here.
You’re allowed to headcanon whoever you want as ace or aro. It can be as simple as you like the character or the idea appeals to you.

happy pride! here are some reminders! 🌈
no nuance november take, but it is not a positivity post for queer people if queer is censored! I’m queer! Not qu**r, qu//r, or q slur! It’s not positivity if you are censoring out my identity!

“Part of presuming my competence includes presuming I know my own gender. I am trans. If you do not believe me, you are saying I am incapable of knowing myself well enough to know my own gender, something inherently personal.“
