The blue/green/toothpaste/etc gay flag is a blatant recolor of the lesbian flag, and also builds off of cisnormative gender stereotypes. It's a flag for the entire LGBTQ+ community, and as a cinthean I feel having our own flag is important! This new flag is called the Progress Pride Flag, and digital designer Daniel Quasar created it in 2018. There is nothing wrong with the rainbow flag, however it isn't a flag for cintheans/gay people only. Previously, you may have noticed that the LGBTQIA+ pride flag displayed every June for Pride month was a simple red to purple rainbow, but a new and slightly different flag has been flying in its place in the last few years.
"What's wrong with the rainbow flag/blue gay flag?" Any resemblance to another flag it might have is entirely coincidental and unintentional. We give you all the details about the alternative pan Pride flag. However, many people are confused about which pansexual flag to use. The colors were picked based off of common Hyacinth flowers, and adjusted to fit together. Is there a new pan flag in 2021 With Pride Month well and truly underway many people are beginning to use their own specific Pride flags to celebrate their, and their community’s, sexuality or gender expression. Nope! Cinthean was not based on any other flag. "I like the term but don't want to use the flag/I like the flag but don't want to use the term, is that okay?"Ībsolutely! Your identity and how you choose to represent it is your choice, do whatever feels right for you. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Achillean, I'd highly recommend Asteric!
This is not meant to exclude other MLM, but give gay men a term to describe their specific attraction, as the word gay no longer holds the same meaning. Cinthean is for gay men /nonbinary people specifically and does not apply to multi-spec sexualities. "So is the term for all MLM/NBLM or made to replace Achillean?"
