> Hi! This is the current owner of the carrd. We are two sides of the same coin, even though our experiences are vastly different.
Gay Men and Lesbians, as well as all MLM and WLW in general, have and always will be in solidarity with eachother. Just because something causes you discomfort does not mean it is oppressive towards you.
In the end, I only have a few words for the impressionable minds still reading. I've kept myself anonymous due to the nature of this discourse, but if they wish to speak, I'll be there.
If wishes to have a genuine conversation on why their carrd is horribly misguided in nature, they're free to try and reach out to me. It was made because of internalized homophobia that people seeked a reason to justify, fueled by the ideas radfems have poisoned the community with. It's clear that with the carrd against it, that this fight wasn't made because it was a "bad" flag. This carrd was meant to take a neutral stance on the argument, clearly using facts to dispel all misinformation against the flag. I have seen many people blatantly take the carrd out of context to smear the flag, or like the carrd fighting against it, use it on the basis of framing discomfort as genuine harm against a community we are meant to be in solidarity with. I frankly believe that internalized homophobia and radfem ideology has framed this argument in a way that can't be dispelled with facts alone, which was the point of my carrd. It's the meaning of those colors and the meaning of the flag itself that makes the flag sacred. The damage that this mindset creates is not only harmful to Gay Men, but Lesbians as well.Ī layout of stripes and colors does not make a flag unique in any way. Dear reader, while the internet may have convinced you otherwise, Gay Men and Lesbians have solidarity built by tears and blood. This carrd is framing Gay Men as oppressors of lesbians on the basis of having similar flag layouts. Take in how the creator has worded it for a moment. I'll let the screenshot speak for itself at first. > Before we get into this, I want to make a statement regarding the history of this carrd. The flag above is made by Original creation post can be found here.
