EDIT: someone suggested bi/pan/omni people use purple/pink/white hyacinths respectively!! also, a cool tidbit about the sun/moon bit!! if youre a demigirl, you can use a solar eclipse, + demiboys can use moon phases!! genderfluid people could potentially use various phases of the eclipse if they want :) if you arent queer and want to keep your sapphire jewelry, thats fine. im not trying to take that away from you, thats why i added an "ask to confirm" bit. yes, theres already methods of queer flagging. however, many of them have become recontextualized as fashion trends, so i sought to make new ones with historical, mythological, and symbolic meaning that's less likely to go ignored. if you have a problem with that, maybe think about what the reason why queer people feel the need to visually flag each other by the means of subtle accessories instead of complaining about a group of people that just want to survive the next four years because they used your grandma's favorite flower as a patch on their jacket or have a pin of your little cousin's birthstone on their bag. some people within the queer community are going to see this post and pretend theyre inherently better because they dont "make it their whole personality," but this isnt me trying to say how "fun and exciting" it is to be queer. this is me trying to survive. this is me trying to help the whole community survive. you want to believe youre better than those who arent that different from you, but in reality you arent doing anything to help them. you stand on the same chopping block as us and yet you act superior. i would pity you if i were less smart. if you are queer, you must survive. you cant just hide, because thats exactly what trump wants us to do. be authentic. be loud. be true to yourself. but most importantly, BE SAFE. #queertiktok #queerflagging #flagging - @gr3at.s4ge
