Gilbert Baker & the Rainbow Flag Part I — Making Queer History

It’s unfortunately common in our community for people to be forgotten, so much so that projects like ours work just to remember. Sometimes that erasure is purposeful and sometimes it is only a matter of time. And other times still, we remember the important work that people have done without remembe

This week's flag is the... #GayMan flag!

The flag uses greens to represent nature because "...love between men is often seen as “unnatural” in the eyes of society and in religion. Furthermore, gay men have historically used green flowers and plants (Carnations, hyacinths, etc.) to symbolize our love, reinforcing our connection with Nature."

An Ever Growing List of Sexualities & their Definitions

The language around sexuality and gender is constantly changing, with new definitions evolving, and existing words being reclaimed by new ge

nobody, i repeat, nobody has any say on your identity and labels but you! you dont need to ask anyone for permission, and certainly dont let anyone try to make the decision for you!

"can i use this label if i-" yes! if you think the label describes you and your experiences for any reasons, use it!

labels are not boxes to organize ourselves into neat groups. theyre for expressing our lived experiences! to represent our communities and feelings!

we are not prescribed our labels if we check off certain boxes, we choose them based on what we want to share about ourselves and our lives! they can be as specific, vague, close-enough, unspecified, or anything else as we want them to!

language isnt static. we create language to best express ourselves, and can mold it into any form as we please, or scrap it and create something new to better fit us.
