This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.

Ace Flag Redesign!

Considering recent news about the old asexual flag, I decided to make my own with the help of my ace friends!

This post comes with a full flag, 3 icon sizes, and a version of the flag with meanings!

If you have to refer to this flag differently, just call it the macaw ace flag, or just say it’s my flag.

Seeing a lot of misinformation flying around regarding lesbian flags this year, particularly the pink one, so here’s my attempt to set the record straight!

FAQ/Common Misconceptions and Sources are listed below the cut - if anything in this post contradicts what you’ve heard, I’d encourage you to read through them before responding.

Please DO NOT promote flag redesigns on this post :)

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Do NOT harrass the user in question in ANY way. Just block, report if you want to, and MOVE ON. This post is simply meant to let other people know about the issue and is not an invitation for discourse.

The user ashido-flags (who also had the url flame-flags, but the url has since been deactivated) has been stealing from other flag blogs and claiming posts as their own.

Some examples include:

Their Mexican Chocolate flags, which were originally from my (@/cawflags) Steampunk set. Side-by-side comparison (Original on the left, stolen on the right):

Their Flame Prince Bi flags, which they took from @/lgbtqa-pride-icons flag set. (ashido-flags is also breaking their DNI, as they don’t want exclusionist interaction.) Side-by-side comparison (Original on the left, stolen on the right):

They also took LGBT+ peachimari icons from @/overpride and are claiming them as their own. Side-by-side comparison (Original on the left, stolen on the right):

These are the only examples I could really find, but I personally wouldn’t be surprised if they have more stolen content on their blog. If you run a flag blog, I highly recommend going through their blog and checking if they have reposted any of your flags.

Again: DO NOT harrass this user in any way. Just block, report if you want to, and move on. I don’t condone harrassment of any kind.
