“Why is the Ace flag on the tumblr logo but not the lesbian flag”

The Lesbian Flag’s first known usage as an all-purpose lesbian flag was in October 2015 by a pride-flags-for-us blog, which took the design from the Lipstick Lesbian flag made in 2010. The flag isn’t even universally accepted among the lesbian community let alone made its way into most mainstream LGBT spaces. 

(The Ace Flag, by comparison, was made in 2010.)

Also generally the rainbow flag historically has meant homosexual whether that be gay or lesbian, and yeah the lesbian flag that you see floating around is an unofficial flag made by taking the lips off the lipstick lesbian flag and is not a universal symbol especially if you look outside Tumblr it’s actually a hard flag to find anywhere

Not that the lesbian flag SHOULDN’T be more recognized…..it just isn’t yet. There was no conscious exclusion happening because the rainbow was meant to cover lesbians.
