File:Vlajka heterosexuálů.png shouldn't be on this page, but not really for the reasons mentioned by the anonymous IP. The main reason is that it's a flag for straight people devised by gay people... AnonMoos (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Rubber?
Is rubber fetishism a pride flag with the same notability and relevance as the others? I'm not an expert, but it feels out of place. i kan reed (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- It seems to be fairly well-known within certain BDSM circles, though that's not the same as general notability... AnonMoos (talk) 22:40, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, and it's not an LGBT flag (as previously discussed at Talk:LGBT symbols/Archive 1, so if the gallery is for LGBT flags only, it might be better to remove it... AnonMoos (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
Gay man flag
Most of these flags here are not really mainstream, you wouldn't be able to show it to someone on the street and have them recognize it besides like, the rainbow one. I don't think the fact that it is originated in social media should be a point against it, as the lesbian one also was. I don't think including the most used flag for gay men, a huge part of the LGBT community, is "indiscriminate archiving of all flags".
Things showing how common it is:

I could also find many many examples of it being used on social media, but I was told that was irrelevant to adding things here... When imo it really shouldn't. The way LGBT youth expresses themselves absolutely matters, and the fact that such being done in social media is considered not valid is, legimately saddening to me. And this is a website that archives plenty of things related to the internet.
It might seem like I'm just someone randomly deciding to put this nonsense here, but there's the fact that, a version of the file was originally uploaded here back in 2019, it was included in another article before I even tried putting it in pages myself, after the revert of my original one on LGBT symbols someone else(that isn't me, or the original uploader, or the one who added it to the gay men page) added it back, so clearly this is something that a considerable amount of people think deserve to be here and not just some random whim. -- 07:41, 19 April 2021 Wonkakun
Transphobic Lesbian Flag
I was wondering, why the article was changed. Originally, the Lesbian flag was the orange-and-pink flag, while the pink-and-red(ish) flag was labeled under "subculture flags" as the "Lipstick Lesbian flag" and the one with the lipstick smear was labeled as "Lipstick Lesbian (original design)". This was fine the way it was, as the lipstick flag without the lipstick smear has been recently viewed as transphobic and harmful to lesbians. Now, the Lesbian flag is the Transphobic flag while the orange-and-pink is put under "Lesbian (2019)". While technically correct that the flag was made in 2019, it makes it seem like the correct flag to use at all times is the transphobic one. I'm curious as to why it was changed, and if it will be changed back? Zhyena28 (talk) 01:52, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
why is the MAP flag not here?
I feel its a notable enough pride flag to be featured here
