"These are Our Flags, and we fly them with pride" above a pattern of pride flags

Our Flags is a reference website for the flags used by the rainbow community. This site aims to break down barriers and allow people outside of the rainbow community to learn about identities and symbols without the initial awkward questions.

People can also select flags that represent themselves to get a link to a page summarising those flags. Members of the community often aren't defined by a single idea, so the links generated can have any combination of flags in any order.

ourflags.lgbt's Issues

[Feature Request]: Re-use content between alternate flags

Describe the feature

Some identities have multiple flags representing them, and people will want to use the flag they most identify with. This inevitable ends up duplicating the description of those identities across multiple Markdown files. We'd need to remember to update all flags that represent the same identity, or figure out some way to share that across different files.

To add to this problem, some flags have direct variants that follow the same history (e.g. 5 stripe and 7 stripe variants of the lesbian and gay man flags). In those cases, the text content might all be the same, or there might be slight differences between them (say, to link to the other variants).

I guess this ends up being a bit of a discussion around how we solve this problem.

Add categories to the all flags page

As I've been sharing this site to a few people, I've been keeping a bit of an eye on the pageviews. Basically, most people go to the all flags page, click on the first one, look at it, then leave. There is some variation in the actual data. Some people have gone back and forth.

image

Agender, by far the most viewed flag, is the first in the list. To try and bring some variety in, I want to add the categories to the all flags page. Hopefully it encourages a bit more variety in what people click.

[Feature Request]: Generate emoji-sized/shaped version of the flags

Describe the feature

The idea is to make them available on a Discord server, or the like, for people to use. Probably not necessary as there's pride emoji servers out there already. This is really low priority.

It didn't take off as much as the Progress flag, so I only heard about it through research.

The demisexual flag, but green. Need to find more sources, as an initial search didn't find anything about the flag.

[Flag Request]: Lynn Segerblom's rainbow flag with stars

Is this flag suitable for the website?

  • This flag is part of pride history
  • This flag is in-use today
  • This flag is widely recognised by the queer community

Describe the flag, its role in the community, and why it should be included

I want to include this flag as it's a part of the flag history that I don't know if many know about. I certainly didn't until researching for this website. I'd once seen a picture of the 8 stripe flag upside down, but it turns out it was this flag instead.

Reading through an account by Lynn herself, she seems to have been instrumental in the pride flags even being rainbows, with her wanting them to be rainbows and everyone agreeing.

image

There'll be some difficulty in recreating the stars in SVG, but as long as it's close enough I think it'll be fine. Might have to look around to see if anyone else has re-created it. There's also the star in the blue stripe, which is different colours on each side of the flag. In the photo above, it appears to be the silver one on the obverse.

The queer anarchist movement highlighted anarchist social revolution as a means toward queer liberation. The pink and black were commonly used in protest imagery and associated with anti-assimilationist, anti-capitalist movements.
