I remade Mogai-Flags.tumblr.com to be a bit more streamlined and better sourced. I want to keep this blog purely for flags so please send any asks or submissions to ask-pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com instead, thanks! [Link to ask] [Link to submissions]
Dagurian: a gender that is normal, generic, and simple during the day, but changes to something completely at night. This might include the changing of alignments, going to an opposite end of the spectrum, or simply disappearing. it is default nonbinary-aligned, connected to sunshine, and colorful rainbows. At night, this may completely change to moonlight, and rain. Faroese: dagur - day.

So! I’ve figured out how to automate making simpler flags! Which means I managed to crank out ~2100 flags in one day. They’re all up in the Mega,nz folder in my pinned post/FAQ!
Now I’m almost out of simple flags to fix up so I’m working on collecting as many flags as I can for the DA archive.
So I’m asking all flag makers (or flag collectors) to gather up all the flags they’ve made/found and send them to me in a folder so I can focus my time more on uploading stuff to the archive and working on more complex flags.
I’d prefer if you would link me on Deviantart because that’s more reliable than tumblr or ping me on the LGBTA wiki discord if you’re there. Otherwise you can submit it through the submit function on tumblr or DM me on @kiloueka
I’ll take any flags! I’ll only be uploading MOGAI-related flags to the gallery right now but I’ve recently made a folder in the Mega drive to keep ND, kin-related, and other flags as well. Maybe when (or if) I get mostly caught up with the MOGAI-related flags I’ll branch out and work on some of those next!
Requirements:
Upload flags in a folder that keeps their original resolution and filename (like dropbox or mega.nz or google drive).
Name the file with the full term name + “ - @[how you want to be credited]”. No shorthand or keysmashes.
Make a note somewhere about symbols that you didn’t make yourself (like did you use some public domain clipart or a copyrighted image?)
Note if any flags are just edits of other people’s flags (like a specific demigender flag or a combo)
Optional but would be really really really helpful if you did (really):
Send them in 5000x3000px PNGs (especially if they’re more complex flags)
Add transparent PNGs of whatever symbols you used or link to wherever you found them.
Organize simple stripe flags in folders based on # of stripes (or how many stripes you needed to use from a template (explanation under the cut)). If they’re more complex then don’t worry about it.
Attach a text doc with definitions if they’re not easy to just look up myself.
Please boost this post far and wide! I want this to be a resource everyone can use and I have lots to catch up on after my 3ish year hiatus!
If you wanna help out in other ways I have a lot of ways listed at the bottom of the FAQ!
AND ANOTHER THING:
I need yall to listen closely. It’s very important that you understand that I literally do not care about your opinion on this. Like 100%. I don’t care. You’re just wasting everyone’s time proving me right by being rabid about it.
Your opinion is meaningless. It’s not good or woke or whatever you think it is. It’s just repackaged terfy/right wing nonsense.
So, again, I ask, don’t yall have more important things to be angry about? Like the climate crisis or, you know, actual biphobia and lesbophobia?
This flag is created for bi women/woman-aligned people who are more strongly attracted to women. Historically, the term lesbian has included bi, pan, or other m-spec women.

Feel free to add others you find/made and please let me know if you know the source for anything unknown!
A Bisexual Lesbian (or Bi-Lesbian for short) is someone who is both bisexual and a lesbian. This term can be used by women who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic (lesbian) or someone who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction. They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only romantically attracted to women. They may find themselves sexually attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though this varies from person to person. It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing attraction, or due being part of plural system. Additionally, the term can apply to women and other non-men who are bisexual and prioritize their attraction to women/non-men or have a strong preference for women/non-men, or for people who are reclaiming the historical definition of lesbian alongside identifying as bisexual.
This can also be switched around for biromantics!
History of Bi Lesbianism
Origin:
The label "bi lesbian" originated in the 1970s as a result of the effects of lesbian separatism, a belief within some strains of lesbian feminism and often within radical feminism which advocates for separating women from men in as many ways as possible as a strategy to achieve women's liberation.[1] Subsequently, this lead to lesbian separatists rejecting and often discriminating against women who refused to withdraw from their involvment with men, particularly bisexual women. Lesbian separatists accused bisexual women of "sleeping with the enemy" and forcefully removed them from lesbian spaces and from claiming the lesbian identity for themselves, by redefining it as "a homosexual female/woman" or "a woman who does not sleep with men/is not attracted to men". It is because of lesbian separatism that the bisexual label became very popular starting in the 1970s, as the word to describe a woman who was attracted to other women before was "lesbian", whether they were attracted exclusively or not, and now that had suddenly changed.
Examples of Use
Lavender Woman, Volume 2, Issue 5, August 1973: "What is a Lesbian? To me, a lesbian is a woman-oriented woman; bisexuals can be lesbians..."[2]
Lani Kaahumanu, "Bisexuality & Discrimination", BBWM Vol. 3, No. 6, Dec 1985-Jan 1986: "...my lesbian awareness isn’t lost now that I claim my bisexuality [...] My political consciousness is lesbian but my lifestyle is bisexual..."[3]
Robyn Ochs, "Bi of the Month: Betty Aubut", Bi Women Vol. 5, No. 2, April-May 1987: "I call myself a “bisexual lesbian.” I will always politically identify as bisexual, which to me means opposing restrictive categories [...] I consider myself gay. I think bisexuals are gay and gay liberation is our liberation..."[4]
Amy Wyeth, "Don't Assume Anything", Bi Women Vol. 13, No. 4, Aug-Sep 1995: "Unfortunately, many of my experiences as a lesbian-identified bisexual woman have said to me that having an appearance or demeanor that diverges from the expected means I will not be accepted as truly belonging in the lesbian community."[5]

Biflexible is a term for someone who identifies primarily as bi, but whose identity and/or attraction is flexible. These individuals are usually attracted to two or more genders, but might experience occasional changes in the specific genders, number of genders, preference of genders, etc. that they are attracted to. In addition to bi, biflexible people may identify as gay, lesbian, pan, asexual, or other orientations depending on their current and potential attractions. Biflexible can be similar to biflux and abrosexual and is a counterpart of homoflexible and heteroflexible.

Google Drive of all the pride flags in my collection
You can download the full size of everything in one go. All the flags, resources and symbols, all the PSDs, all the combos, all the triforces.
Disclaimer: It’s pretty disorganized. But most everything is there.
[Link]
The main folder is basically my to-do list as well as a few of the most common templates.
If you wanna help out and redo some of the more complicated ones in 5000x3000 and submit, then that’d be really appreciated. You can upload them on imgur.com and link me, it should keep the original quality. If it has a symbol on it, could you also please upload a transparent png of it too?
Chevrons have every chevron I’ve made in there.
Templates are for ya’ll to make your own HQ flags without having to draw out the stripes each time, and they’re all the “standard” 5000x3000 I use in my gallery.
Scraps are random flags I’ve (usually) created that don’t have a term to go with them and are perfectly free to claim for something you ID with. Just be sure to send me a message saying you intend to use it for something so more than one person doesn’t use the same flag for two different things.
Uploaded is for things I’ve uploaded to the DA but haven’t posted yet. I move them to “Posted” when I do. And then I move them to their own organized folders when I upload them to the main tumblog.
Everything else should be self explanatory I think.
Gender variance, or gender nonconformity, is behavior or gender expression by an individual that does not match masculine and feminine gender norms. People who exhibit gender variance may be called gender variant, gender non-conforming, gender diverse, gender atypical or genderqueer, and may be transgender or otherwise variant in their gender identity. In the case of transgender people, they may be perceived, or perceive themselves as, gender nonconforming before transitioning, but might not be perceived as such after transitioning. Some intersex people may also exhibit gender variance.

Bi Gay: When you're bi but your attraction leans towards the same (or similar) gender. As in, you have a stronger attraction to the same gender, or become attracted easier to people of the same gender. Similar to homoflexible.

Sun and Moon Lesbian are aesthetic descriptors lesbians can choose for themselves. There’s no concrete definition of them, it’s more like what reminds you most of yourself or describes you best, or you find most aesthetically pleasing.
I’ve also heard they're inspired by the space alignments for nb, but with a focus on lesbians and not necessarily limited to just nb lesbians. Example, sun lesbian is either a butch lesbian or a solarian nb lesbian. Moon lesbian could be either a femme lesbian or a lunarian nb lesbian. It's meant to allow for aligned for lesbian without feeling like needing to strictly conform to the ideas of butch or femme.

A lipstick lesbian is slang for a lesbian who exhibits a greater amount of feminine gender attributes relative to other gender expressions, such as wearing make-up (thus, lipstick), wearing dresses or skirts and having other characteristics associated with feminine women. In popular usage, the term lipstick lesbian is also used to characterize the feminine gender expression of bisexual women who are romantically or sexually interested in other women.
Term coined by: The term lipstick lesbian was used in San Francisco at least as far back as the 1980s. In 1982, Priscilla Rhoades, a journalist with the gay newspaper The Sentinel, wrote a feature story on "Lesbians for Lipstick". In 1990, the gay newspaper OutWeek covered the Lesbian Ladies Society, a Washington, D.C.–based social group of "feminine lesbians" that required women to wear a dress or skirt to its functions. The term is thought to have emerged in wide usage during the early 1990s. A 1997 episode of the television show Ellen widely publicized the phrase. In the show, Ellen DeGeneres's character, asked by her parents whether a certain woman is a "dipstick lesbian", explains that the term is lipstick lesbian, and comments that "I would be a chapstick lesbian." An alternate term for lipstick lesbian is doily dyke.
