spade butch, diamond futch, heart femme

my take on butch, futch & femme, with representative symbols. the femme symbol is intended to represent a femme's love for butches, and the butch symbol is supposed to represent the reciprocation of love from butches to femmes. the futch symbol is intended to represent a vesatility, with the points of the diamond in all directions. i took a lot of inspiration from card suits :) these are all-inclusive & are not intended to be used by exclusionists or TERFS

a term for all black and mixed black lesbians

Continuing to repost some of my friends' stuff from their terminated accounts so that it's more easily findable (with their permission ofc) All text is pasted straight from the original coining!

Lavenique (lav-en-eek), also called Laveniq (lav-en-ick) is here!

It is designed for those that feel a disconnect from the lesbian label, typically due to the white-washing and white domination of lesbian history, and lesbian stereotypes - it’s open to use by any black or mixed black lesbian, and lavenique doesn’t gatekeep what lesbian as a term means unlike other terms, it’s all about your experience

Historically, black lesbians have been pushed out of lesbian spaces, many feeling completely excluded and choosing to use queer, sapphic, or gay as an alternative, so I wanted to make that alternative! 

Black sapphics all participated in giving their input for the term! The symbol of a violet was the most popular option for a symbol, so there’s an optional variant of the flag using this symbol! Violets are symbol of lesbian love, given by sapphics to other sapphics as a symbol of being attracted to them
