For reference, here is the original conversation between @officialqueer and me about the queer chevron. I have permission to post this. This conversation took place between the pastel pride flag and the first zig-zag purple and white flag being created, on 10/3/2016 at some ung-dly hour of the morning.
officialqueer also check out the two new flag ideas!!

vaspider sent a post The Color Lavender
Ok so…… while the pastels are a cool idea
Think about how THAT would look if you made an actual flag
officialqueer yeah, prob kinda just…pale
vaspider It would be visually indistinguishable from a regular Pride Flag someone had left out all summer
officialqueer and unnoticable yeeee
vaspider No one would understand what it meant.
officialqueer maybe it can be an online spefici one
colours need to be more vibrant
vaspider What if the stripes weren’t?
officialqueer holy fuck LAVENDER
vaspider What if they were diagonal?
officialqueer omg that was my original idea tbh!!
vaspider What if it was a chevron?
officialqueer OMGOMG I LOVE IT
THAT’D ACTUALLY BE SO RAD
vaspider What if it was lavender and white stripes?
officialqueer I REALLY LIKE THAT
vaspider Lavender is a queer color
White light includes all colors of light
And we don’t move in straight lines
officialqueer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THAT’S SO GOOD AND IMPORTANT |
Im gonna bitch it to the person who designed the last two and see if they cn whip one up
PITCHTHAT SHOULD SAY PTUCJ
vaspider I would say lavender with a single white chevron
And an alternate flag with a big black Q on it for those who like those things.
vaspider Same flag but add a big black q
officialqueer oh man these are aeweocme
vaspider This would also let you do things like
“Queer flag plus blue Star of David” = Queer Jews
“Queer flag plus gold cross” = Queer Xian
officialqueer NOW I REALLY DIG THAT
I love being able to make changes like that
vaspider It’s very adaptable.You could add a hibiscus on it for Hindi queers since iirc that’s a sacred flower
officialqueer I legit love this so much
this is such a nea concept
vaspider It really makes it into something that is very flexible, bc it isn’t so fussy.
A simple flag is much easier to adapt.
officialqueer yeeee and elss busy
officialqueer like I liked my original one but there were too many colours realizisitclally
