version" of the Iron Front flag, is seen here (with a blue background, a red disc encircled in white outline with three white diagonal arrows pointing downward). Blue and Pink flag (0:24 onwards) (the flag in question)Īlso a transgender flag is spotted as well in support of the march, as seen here.Also note that the relative position of the signs is somewhat changed there.ĭuring this march, in this video one can see other flags that were spotted as well, such as: In the meantime, a variant of this flag with omitted black fimbriations of two signs, thus effectively conjoined into a single shape, is offered for sale here. Other photos of this flag, displaying the above details better, can be found here: and. also, black fimbriations of two signs should be wider that should be corrected, though, so as not to reduce the width of yellow strokes, which is OK as it is now.most importantly, in the female sign, all four arms of the cross should have equal length.Īn image well executed, as usual, still there are some details which should be corrected:
Apparently the event did not go so well, according to The Boston Globe. You can read The Boston Globe's article about the local reaction regarding the event and the organizers at. Superimposed are a male and a female biological symbol intertwined, each in yellow with a black border. The flag is rectangular, divided from upper hoist to lower fly, blue at the hoist and pink in the fly. Reactions to it were mixed but the sponsors, John Hugo and Samson Racioppi, unveiled their "Straight Pride" flag a few days before. Pete Loeser, text from Historical Flags of Our Ancestors, Ī "Straight Pride" parade was held today, Saturday, 31 August 2019, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
It mimics the striped Gay Pride Rainbow by changing the rainbow colors into neutral shades of black, grey and white. We could call it "the binarism flag." In a larger sense, since the Rainbow Flag stands generically for diversity in addition to symbolizing gay identity, this could be viewed as a complementary uniformity flag.īut in that case it would not be a real "heterosexual pride" flag, rather a "heterosexual supremacy" flag (it is difficult to separate these issues, especially when a majority is envolved, but it is possible), or even a flag against sexual orientation diversity.Īn interesting "reaction" flag has resulted from the Gay Rights/Equal Marriage Movements of the early 2000s. I see the symbolism as more the yin and the yang of male and female, represented by the two most basic colours, coming together on the flag. Seems more like an anti-gay flag, or at least for sexual conservatism. It was, essentially, suggested by political conservatives who were generally opposed to the symbolism of a flag for a sexual orientation anyway a quick online search indicates that many conservatives have rhetorically suggested such a symbol many times since, indicating that perhaps that is its main value.
I did see that design suggested at one point, but for the life of me, I can't find it now. The obvious reference is to the Rainbow Flag, essentially removed of its color. I believe the design was six horizontal stripes, N-W-N-W-N-W. I have seen a proposed flag for heterosexuals. I believe the reason for non-existence of a flag for heterosexuals is the same that explains the general absence of specific symbology for any majority, either ethnic, social, etc.
