Would I wear it? No, but the middle one covers all of us dawg. These identities are extremely underrepresented so it’s cool to see them on merch

You don’t have to be on every shirt. Let the underused flags have at least one shirt with our shit on it

@1 We get one shirt with some underutilized flags on it and suddenly it’s “extremely fucking weird and unusual”. If they want to include other flags in a design like this, some other more common ones won’t fit anymore. It’s not weird to have just one shirt without lesbian bi or nonbinary flags (all which are usually on these kinds of shirts) in order to fit some lesser known ones

I do agree that they're underrepresented, and it's cool that there's merch, I was kinda just pointing out a thing I noticed. as for wearing it, I do own this shirt lol and I wore it yesterday for the beginning of pride month

Tbh it’s more of an accusation than an observation when you say that whoever designed the shirt has ✨opinions✨on the lesbian and bi flags for simply not including them on one shirt. Not every flag can be in every single shirt, and a majority of other pride merch with a bunch of flags like this (even just on the hot topic website) includes the lesbian and bi flag. It just feels weird that one shirt finally having some less represented flags inspired you to make a post about the creators✨opinions✨

I’ve seen plenty of merch with the lesbian flag and no genderqueer flag. They simply cannot fit all the flags in that design, and chose to go with some super underrepresented ones. I think it’s good to have at least one shirt like this that shows some lesser known flags, since we have SO MANY shirts like this with the popular ones. That’s perfectly fine, you don’t have to respond. Nobody is making you. I’m just sharing my opinion based on my personal experience

Yes? I included that because it proves my point?

Or a better word would be “displays” my point. These flags are underrepresented and I don’t think it’s so weird and crazy that they made a shirt with flags that don’t usually get on these shirts
