Xolarix-22761

I’m a graphic designer.
I like colors.
I like ALL colors.
I like rainbows.

They’re a cause of happiness and wonder for child and individual alike.
A beauty of nature. The symbol of sunshine after rain.

But now a rainbow is a political statement.
I can’t use a rainbow or multiple base colors within a logo or something without it becoming a symbol for LGBTQ and it is kinda frustrating and limits creative independence. It’s effectively a cultural appropriation and I yearn the colors cancelled.

Am I talking complete BS now?
Absolutely.
LGBTQ is fresh . Happy pride month. Adoration you

Am I talking complete BS now

Nah…I feel the same. I actually really like rainbows and think they’re astonishing and pretty to gaze at. They’re supposed to be a symbol of hope in many cultures. They appear as matchless arcs, often during a rainstorm when the light shines onto water droplets, shattering its white illumination into an array of brilliant colors. I own no problem with lgbt, I just hate how I can’t wear anything rainbow schemed without someone going “LUL U GAE BRO?”

It’s Pride Month, and we shouldn’t be scared of anything. This is the time of tolerance and love, and you should block whoever says otherwise. However, even though we are trying not to be judgmental, there is that one aspect that we haven’t thought about. We are gay people, and fashion is significant to us. So, yes, we will most certainly judge people who didn’t dress for the occasion – sometimes unconsciously, but what we can do is to make sure we are dressed in just the right ways. Pride events are places where you can move completely crazy with the outfits and your appearance, but there simply are some don’ts that you should hold in mind.

DO – Rainbows

Of course, it’s not imperative that your pride outfit features rainbows, but if you own the option to, why not? Representing all the colors of the rainbow, and dressing up in this way is the right way. However, you don’t have to come dressed in rainbows from chief to toe – you can also choose something minimalistic with a compact LGBTQ rainbow flag, or if you have nothing of that sort, you can always tug one on your face.

DON’T – Feed any hate

Some of you might assume that this is the most coherent thing to understand, so why would we feat

Coming out can be very emotional for lesbian, queer , bisexual, transgender, and gay (LGBTQ) people. It can be exciting or provide a tremendous sense of relief, but it also carries the risk of rejection, discrimination, harassment or even physical violence. A person who is coming out may experience a roller coaster combination of joy, fear, self-confidence, vulnerability, pride or anxiety.

For a straight person, it isn’t necessarily any easier. Even straight people who back LGBTQ equality may still be shocked or undergo awkward when their family member, friend or coworker pulls them aside to say, “I’m gay” or “I’m trans.” They may not know how to react. They may also be afraid of making the situation uncomfortable or saying something they might regret.

Everyone’s experience is diverse, so there’s no script to follow when someone comes out to you. But if you’re respectful, polite and patient, you can avoid or minimize any possible tension or embarrassment by remembering the following guidelines:

DoDon't
Listen to what he, she, or they have to say and let them set the tone of the conversation. Listening will show that you respect them and aid put them at e

The rainbow flag was created as a symbol of LGBTQIA+ pride and individuality, and has since been used by millions of people around the earth to signal guard, allyship and inclusion.

More recently, variations of the rainbow flag have become famous, it can be difficult to comprehend when to apply each one, or even which is the “correct” one to use. Our advice is to use the flag that most aligns with your phrase or values. If you are part of a team or organisation, formulate this decision together as a team or with your community.

To help you work through this process, here’s a run down of the most widespread flags and what they mean today.

Original Rainbow Pride Flag

You’ll recognise this flag as the “original” rainbow pride flag. This rainbow flag serves to signal pride - or allyship - to represent the entire LGBTQIA+ community.  

History of the Flag

The unique rainbow pride flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, an openly gay artist and activist. The flag originally featured eight stripes, each of which represented something different. From highest to bottom, the stripes represented blazing pink (for sex), red (for life), orange (for healing), yellow (for sunlight), green (for nat
