“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.

also like, if you’re the child of gay parents

that means you were wanted. they went out of their way to have you

i can’t imagine how much better my mental health would have been as a child if i wasn’t a complete mistake my mother made one day, and was raised too catholic to think about an abortion

can u imagine. having two parents. And knowing they actually wanted to bring you into the world. and still feeling like you’re missing something. heteronormativity is really amazing sometimes

can we stop normalising the idea that men can like, innately barbecue well

if you don’t practice cooking in a kitchen then you won’t effortlessly be any better outdoors and only cooking meat doesn’t hide that

‘i needed a masculine role model to play sports w me’ bitch if you didn’t play sports for your whole childhood it probably means you don’t like fucking sports! having a man in your life doesnt suddenly make sports fun!

like damn did your gay mums ban sports? did they actively shame you away from playing catch? lesbians fucking invented sports. girls come out as softball players before we’re ready to properly come out as gay. what do u think roller derby is! sports are fucking gay and u were probably just a nerd the whole time!
