I've been thinking about this some more and it makes me angry that this is even in the article: "The colors chosen above were used as so: The pink is for same-sex/gender attraction, blue is for different sex/gender attraction, and purple is to represent the attraction across the gender spectrum and attraction to Non-binary individuals."

There's no source and that's not what Michael Page said. The CREATOR of the flag did not say anything about gender spectrums or non-binary people.

I have to admit that usually seeing the bi flag makes me feel embarrassed because so many people talk about us like we're a joke. But knowing what he really intended when he designed it makes me proud of it. I like the deeper symbolism.

Yes, I'm getting tired of the TQ+ self insertions and them forcing THEIR definitions onto us. It never said ANYTHING about non-binary or 'spectrum'. They completely pulled that out of thin air.

I might do a lesbian/gay flag analysis later to see if there are some more differences and post it in s/LGBDroptheT. Idk if it would be redundant though since they already posted threads on their flags on many different occasions.

I think it would be cool and useful if you did a full post of comparisons/analysis with all three flags.

Thanks! I just now completed the analysis. It took me a while and I may have missed a couple of things..Had to do it a bit differently than the bisexual analysis.

Here is the thread: LGB Flag Analysis

Oh no, it looks like it was removed. :( I don't know why. I hope you saved everything you typed up.

It shows up when I log in, but when I logout I see it's been removed...

The mods didn't message me with a reason why. :/

/u/clitoriana, the mods said it was accidentally filtered so the link works now for the LGB Analysis lol.

I also need to respond back to your other comment! Which I will do when I get off work haha.
