Having crushes that aren’t reciprocated is not creepy.
Finding someone sexually attractive when they don’t return the attraction isn’t predatory.
Being creepy or predatory requires you to actually do something that is creepy or predatory – like disrespect her boundaries, behave inappropriately with someone you have power over, or do sexual/romantic things without first having consent. If you’re not doing things like that? you are not creepy or predatory!
Crushes are normal. Unreciprocated crushes are normal. One-way sexual attraction is normal. They are perfectly ordinary experiences, and you feeling that way about another lady is still 100% ordinary – your feelings are not creepy or gross.

IIRC the current lesbian flag was made in 2015 by a MOGAI (yes, MOGAI) flags account on Deviantart by removing the mark from the lipstick lesbian flag so if you don’t see it at pride much it’s probably because a majority of the world outside Tumblr, (a) doesn’t know it exists and (b) sees the rainbow flag as the symbol of the lesbian community. It’s a similar case with the purple and yellow nb flag- it’s newer and it was made by a Tumblr user so you’re more likely to see the older green and purple nb flag at pride.
It’s nice to be able to buy pride merch in the flag that best represents you and your community, but please, PLEASE consider that the person who made whatever you’re looking at that doesn’t include the new lesbian flag or the nb flag simply doesn’t know about either of those flags. If possible, you should let them know what flags you would like to see! But their lack of knowledge on a flag that was made by a MOGAI Deviantart account less than 5 years ago doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a raging lesbophobe or enbyphobe.
And yes, you might see ace and polyam flags, which are much older. That doesn’t mean people think that asexuality and polyamory are more valid and important, it just means that the flags are much older and more recognized. Hopefully the lesbian flag and purple-yellow nonbinary flag will get there soon! But they never will if we immediately turn to calling creators out instead of telling them what we want to see and why we want to see it.
The lesbian flag upload to dA that’s being referenced is here, I believe, uploaded in 2015.
The nonbinary flag seems to originate here, posted in 2014. For comparison, the genderqueer flag (purple, white, and green stripes) is from 2011.

Lesbian couple unknowingly both bring engagement rings on zoo trip and propose to each other-CBS News
When one Tennessee couple went to the Memphis Zoo on Friday, they each had a secret plan to pop the question.
The Memphis Zoo is a special place for Becky McCabe and Jessa Gillaspie, because they’d gone their on their first date. When they went there with friends on Friday, McCabe had arranged for one of their pals to videotape the proposal.
The couple, surrounded by their friends, posed for a photo in front of the zoo. As one friend took their picture, another friend began filming in anticipation of the big moment.
McCabe held a ring behind her back and told Gillapsie she loved her. Then, dropping to one knee, she opened the ring box and asked “Will you marry me?” The whole time, Gillaspie cried tears of joy.
But instead of answering the question, Gillaspie turned around, grabbed her purse, and started digging around for something.
“Oh my God!” she exclaimed. Gillaspie pulled out another ring box.
McCabe, still down on one knee, immediately began laughing. Gillaspie had planned all along to propose to her, too.
Gillaspie opened the ring box and showed McCabe the ring she had planned to propose with — before McCabe beat her to the punch.
I didn’t see this on here and it was so cute I thought I’d share it.
[image is an excerpt from a novel which reads, “I went downstairs to Dad’s encyclopedia and looked up HOMOSEXUALITY, but that didn’t tell me much about any of the things I felt. What struck me most, though, was that, in that whole long article, the world “love” wasn’t used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn’t know that gay people actually love each other. The encyclopedia writers ought to talk to me, I thought as I went back to bed; I would tell them something about love.” end ID]

sirens wouldn’t work on lesbians bc they’d be serenading us and we’d be like ‘oh she just means it as a friend! she’s being nice :)’
I don’t trust anybody who positions lesbians & bi women as inherently in conflict tbh. I’m so tired of the generalizations & stereotypes of either identity being used to fuel infighting, especially now that I’m in a point in my life where I do have a rich, healthy & loving wlw community. I wish everyone would commit to not projecting bad experiences with one group of lesbians/bi women to literally every woman on earth who shares that identity label. We’re all just women who love women— if there’s anything inherent in us it is that we’re fated to be lovers and comrades, not enemies.
it’s the confused anon who’s been talking to a girl for 6 months again! today was gender swap day and she said I looked like a handsome butch and then called herself my femme gf!! what does this mean!!! I’m so confused!! ps. have a nice day!
