I thought I’d share my thoughts on this one, because DEAR LORD, is this a subject…

In my honest opinion, Flag Discourse is completely and utterly stupid, and half of it is just speaking over certain groups. There are real-world issues affecting queer folks that are leagues more important than if xyz flag is “problematic” or whatnot. Yes, there are some legitimately problematic flags, such as the Labrys, but I’m not talking about those. What I’m talking about is stuff like the debacles with the “toothpaste” flag, pan flag, etc.. Speaking of toothpaste, as a lesbian, WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON THAT. OH MY GOD, were mlm spoken over to the high heavens on that one. (Fun fact: when I called out a bunch of twitter users for speaking over mlm about this discourse, they asked if I was mlm, which THEY WEREN’T EITHER.) In my honest opinion, I would much rather focus on the worsening discrimination against us worldwide than if a gay person’s flag “copies” my own.

I want to talk about MLM flag discourse.

It pisses me off so much how the people who are most vocal about this issue are non-MLM, and they are high key very homophobic in their arguments. Non-MLM can reblog this post as long as you don't start shit. I only care about opinions from our own community about this discourse. Period.

Let's start with the only valid criticism of the usage of the green, white, and blue MLM flag: the idea that it's just a recolored lesbian flag, and that this "fact" must make the flag design lesbophobic. If we were to use this argument, we would actually need to call the lesbian flag problematic for being a recolored MLM flag; the MLM flag came first.

The modern lesbian flag was created in 2018 (source) whilst the MLM flag was made in 2016 (source). Is the modern lesbian flag then homophobic? No! I support MLM WLW solidarity, and the lesbian flag has meanings for each color just like the MLM flag does. This is really a non-issue, guys. Unfortunately people in the queer community like to start shit for no reason.

Now, I absolutely support the right of any MLM to not use this flag, whether it be because of this, because they think it's ugly, or for any other reason. However, what I do not support is non-MLM, without being asked for their opinion, saying that this flag is ugly and should not be used. I will repeat what I said from earlier louder for the folks in the back, if you are not MLM you cannot speak on this discourse and have no place to be calling our flags ugly.

We have gone full circle back to being incredibly homophobic. Why is it that whenever we have words and community to ourselves, other queer people believe it is for them? If you are not MLM you can have solidarity with us but you cannot speak on our discourse, even if you are also queer. It is incredibly homophobic for non-MLM to say things like that, even to advocate for the MLM flag to be removed from queer art and other visuals.

Unfortunately, these are all talking points that I have seen people bring up, and it needs to stop.

It is a matter of personal preference whether you choose to use this flag or not, but if you choose not to use it, please don't be homophobic to others because they do use it.

whenever you see someone call that one mlm flag the “toothpaste flag”, the likelihood of them calling it that in derision is very high

i’ve seen multiple ppl saying “the toothpaste flag is stupid/unnecessary/excessive! just use the rainbow/gilbert baker flag! stop making up new flags!”

i’ve seen those same ppl complain about “the ppl who use the toothpaste flag said we were using the wrong flag when we used the gilbert baker flag!”

you know how many ppl i’ve seen actually say the gilbert baker flag was the ‘wrong flag’ for mlm? the answer is zero

i’m not saying the ppl who said someone told them that are lying, btw, just like… it’s not as common as their complaints make it seem

just let ppl use whatever flag or colors they want and stop worrying about which ones are “right”, it’s not a big deal. this is just the pushback against “microlabels” 2.0 😐

A post on the ocean flag/toothpaste flag

Reminder that the rumors about the Ocean flag/gay men flag/toothpaste flag were disproven. stop harassing/hating on those who use it.

Check this sheet to see the information gathered on it and the other ones.

There's even a post directly from the creator himself

if you still wish to keep harassing/hating on others for using it and demanding use of another flag after this, then let me ask you this: how many more flags must we lose before you're satisfied? 1 more? 2 more? or will you never be satisfied?

if it's just that you don't like the look of it, aight. you choose what you want to represent you. but others do not owe you the use of another because of your opinions of how something looks. ESPECIALLY if you're not a gay man yourself. you can't just go up to someone and go ":/ blue looks horrible on you. don't wear it. wear this instead." without being a total ass.

anyways, rant over.

Ocean flag my beloved. 💚🤍💙😘

i firmly believe that we should stop caring so much about whether the ocean flag is valid or not, just PLEASE let gay men have this one thing

#‘ohhh but it copies from the lesbian flag!’ historically gay and lesbian people have been copying flag designs off each other for years #’oogh but the colors! the colors have no meaning!’ who cares if the colors have meanings? give it your own meaning! #and even if there’s a flag (which has the slightest color variations from the ocean one) which is bad for some reason #JUST LET THEM HAVE THEIR FLAG GODDAMN #conservatives want us all dead fighting over flag colors isn’t helping anyone #gay #gay man flag #toothpaste flag #i am not a gay man btw i’m just tired of everyone screaming at my brothers just because they have a flag that people don’t like

why is the "toothpaste flag" bad exactly /gen

hot take but instead of fighting for ur lives abt flags how about we focus on not having our rights stripped away and or fight against the fact lgbt people can still be killed in numerous countries and the government doz not gib a flyin fuck about that.

flag discourse is the stupidest thing ive had the pleasure of witnessing with my own two eyes whilst living in a country where gay men get beaten to death and gay women get forced into arranged marriages with men 40 years older than them and with a face as wrinkly as a raisin :)

#lgbt discourse #flag discourse #lgbtq #fuck your stupid ass flag discourse can we all focus on the fact most of the lgbt people in the world literally can DIE #all flags are based off eachother anyways do your fuckin research #toothpaste flag

hello! i had made this a bit ago, but I decided to post it on here too! I had originally posted a small version of this basically on Twitter, but decided to make a biiig google doc collecting basically everything I could on why this flag ISN'T problematic.

this is the vincian/ocean flag! (a.k.a toothpaste) it's had a lot of allegations thrown at it and the creator, @gayflagblog, and all of them are false. they're either personal opinions, or was a completely different person who did it. (this has happened about 4 times ..) imo I love this flag and I hate all the misinformation spread about it everywhere ! - please lmk if I should add/edit/remove anything! reblogs are appreciated, thank you!! (*≧▽≦)

(I'd like to note I'm not gay/vincian, I'm pansexual! I'm sorry if I shouldn't be making this just this has always bothered me even when I identified as gay.)

Istg if I see one more person use the argument that the gay flag is just "blue for boys" I'm gonna fucking explode. I see mostly lesbians say this, as if their flag doesn't have pink in it. What about the trans flag? What about the bi flag? Y'all are just homophobic

Not to mention green has historically been a colour associated with gay men.

#people just dont know their fucking history anymore #'it was stolen' so was the lesbian flag!!! plus its not even fucking stealing #'just use the rainbow flag' that doesnt actually say anything about my identity #people love to yell about the patriarchy but the truth is that people just hate men and especially queer men #like honestly half the time i dont feel like i belong in the queer community with how women focussed it is #gay flag #toothpaste flag #ocean flag #flag discourse
