LESBAINS UNITE!

Alright Lesbians, The Old Flag Sucks And So Does Our Approach To Fixing It.

So I’ve seen a lot of posts about how the L in LGBT is getting forgotten in posts about us and how people are using the fact we no longer have one unified flag to fly under, as an excuse. 

The lipstick lesbian flag was offensive but at least people knew what it was.

The new flags are inoffensive but unidentifiable. Straight people don’t know what our flag is when its two feet in front of them and that’s a design  problem.

So I’m here to explain why none of the flags suggested so far have really stuck in mainstream culture and hopefully fix it.

The main reason is our flags suck from a graphic design standpoint. Their purpose is not easy to figure out unless someone labels them. We’ve taken the bio hazard mode of symbolism; pick a sign that’s both memorable and meaningless and through cultural education, assign it a meaning. This is a terrible fucking approach and therefor bad design.

So here’s the checklist:

1) Flag must have meaning

2) Identifiable to everyone. A person who has no idea what a lesbian even is should know just by looking that this flag, is about girls liking girls.

3) Unique and Accessible. Can someone who is completely color blind tell that this is the lesbian flag and not the gay or trans flag.

4)Traditional Color Symbolism. Use the culture your currently in, not the culture you wish to create as no one will understand that yellow is suppose to mean femininity. For now stick with pink.

5) Not Eye Bleeding. No Neon.

6) Inclusive. This ain’t just a white lesbian flag, this is an all lesbian flag. If people feel the need to add another colored stripe after the fact to represent themselves, your doing it wrong.

So If We Must Ditch The Old Flag, Try Replacing It With This. I Think With Enough Signal Boosting This Flag Will Catch On.

Symbolism:

The brown fem sign represents all the women of color that first fought for our rights and acts as a reminder to lesbians of color today that they are welcomed.

The white fem sign represents our more privileged sisters who gave the movement numbers.

The interlocking design shows solidarity.

The Pink Triangle is an inversion of the more famous triangle used to label gays in Nazi Germany. Its a tribute to those who’ve been hurt and a light house for those of us that are still hurting today.

The top of the triangle points up and forward guiding us

The base of the triangle reminds us of where we have been and how far we have come

Also meant to look like a couple walking down a never ending street.

The black outline represents those we have lost.

The magenta stripe represents the love we all share

The light pink stripe represents all the trans lesbians that call the community home

The white stripe represents all the non-binary lesbians whom we accept with open arms

The dark pink stripe represents femininity in all it’s forms.
