The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

of flags. So ex-SO is a tattoo artist, and a client wants a flat that mixes the basic pride flag with the transgender flag. Kind of like the POC Pride flag? What they want doesn't exist, and they are a straight alley. Anybody think that's dodgy and weird, or would you even care? Or notice?

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

I'd not care if I noticed. Which I probably wouldn't.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

Thanks!

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

If a cishet person got a pride tattoo, I'd definitely find it weird, but at the same time, if they're closeted/stealth, it's a different story.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

I'm wondering if they have family, since they specifically added the transgender flag....

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

... so it'd be weird to you if I got a pride tattoo to support my very tattooed and gay cousin? Really?

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

That flag does in fact exist.

The client is wanting this:

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

Ah ha! Is it called a particular thing?
Thank you!

or this:

it's called "progress pride" by daniel quasar

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

Very neat, thank you!

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Dodgy or weird? I'd think that's great! Straight people wearing supportive symbols is a good thing, surely?

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

I'm glad to hear it! I know some people have different feelings, but I think the more straight people show their support, the better.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

:) I think so too.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Plus they might have an SO or a relative who is trans, for all we know.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you so concerned with what a stranger wants tattooed on their body? Are you expecting us gays to be angry on your behalf or something?

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

Why are you so hostile? The ex-SO was asking if i knew if that kind of flag was a real one or not, and didn't want to just mash up a couple things that ended up looking weird, or was offensive.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Because YOUR tone was hostile - you didn't ask if it existed - you declared that it didn't and you were wrong. "Gays, is this dodgy?" is a weird thing to ask and you were very clear to add that you know for a fact they aren't queer, which you don't know, again. Mind your business.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[tabaqui]

Yeah, sure, okay, whatever.
Funny how you're the only person who thought that. Must be a you thing.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Funny how you were "so concerned" with someone offending gay people and then when YOU'VE done it, it's all on THEM!

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

They didn’t offend gay people. You personally got offended over nothing, and read implications that weren’t there.

And now you’re trying to speak for all of us, when they’re right that you’re the only one mad about this. You’re a hypocrite for getting angry at tabaqui for assuming people aren’t queer, while totally disregarding the possibility(and the fact in my case) that the people who responded positively to tabaqui are queer.

You can’t speak for all of us. Act like a mature adult and admit that you were wrong to jump down their throat over a misinterpretation of their words. Especially before you accuse them of not admitting to a mistake that they didn’t actually make.

Re: The mixing and matching....

[(Anonymous)]

Look, I am just so sick of "alleys" like tabaqui getting up in arms over what's "okay" for other straights (presumably, she doesn't even know in this case) to do to support gay people. Her whole post is trying to police what she thinks is bad ally rep. She claimed something that's very important to some of us ("the mixing and the matching" of flags) doesn't exist and was wrong. I, a queer person, am pissed at her dog whistle-approach to this, because I am queer. She offended me because I'm gay. And then blew me off as it being "just my problem". I also don't think you know what being a hypocrite means either. You not being offended doesn't negate my offense. She didn't offend you, a gay person? Great! She did offend me, a gay person? Problem! Which she addressed like a chad instead of an adult and won't come back to actually apologise for.
