Confirmed: Queer people have iron deficiency.
What’s with the 3rd flag in the first picture? Just looks like an elongated falg of Romania or Chad. Or is it just a wish.com rainbow flag?
But keeping them unironed and non-“straight” seems pretty on brand.
Remember to iron your flags,
fafriends ☺️What if I don’t own an iron?
Hang it on your shower curtain rod, run a hot water only shower to steam up the room and close the door.
PS: A “make out” session in the steamed up room while you wait for the flag to relax is a great way to not let all that steam go to waste.
Wash and dry it, then hang it up again. If it’s not washable, hanging it in a bathroom with a shower may help to steam the wrinkles out over time.
Obviously this is a joke, but there used to be an important reason we kept the flags wrinkled like that: it meant that you never knew who had bought a flag at a Pride event and who brought one they owned.
This meant that people who were ‘caught’ at an event by friends or family they weren’t out to, they could say they just bought the flag to support the cause. It also meant there was no way to tell who had been there longer than others.
Beautiful reasons but there’s an easier one… we don’t want our flags to be straight (I only ironed my trans flag).
I do not really understand what you mean. What is the difference? If it is “okay” to buy a flag now to support the cause, why would it not be okay to have done so a year ago?
Also, sounds like this person would not hang the flag in their room, so the folding marks would be there anyway?
Kinda sound made up tbh
“I was just caught up in the moment supporting my friends” vs “I am an active and participating member of the queer community”
Every queer person who sees my flag asks “Yours is ironed?”
