One thing that I just realized that was bugging me in the Connor of mind, I know nothing about queer culture in Korea? Everytime I read or watch queer stories it seems the same straight stories (never saw a trans one) with some add struggles of being LGBT, which are not that different than the forbidden love we see in their other stories.

Day 93 of the one-person relay protest in front of the Israeli Embassy!
Today, we thank the Information and Human Rights Research Institute and the Progressive Network Center for their hard work.
Israel is starving its residents, banning the entry of relief goods, and continuing to kill starving residents who are packed into trucks that happen to arrive. A total of 400 starving residents were killed by Israeli tanks and snipers.

Do you know if pride flags are universal? Just wondering if any other countries use flags that have been created there. I'm guessing not because I think maybe we'd see them on Tumblr, but I also realize that lack of evidence on Tumblr doesn't make that a certainty☺️ anyway, I thought this blog would be a good place to ask. Also, I guess where were all the current standards designed?
Depending on what one thinks of in regard to pride flags (the progress flag, the rainbow flag, the asexual flag, etc.) they are fairly universally used. There is photographic evidence of them being used globally to represent queerness around the world!
That being said, there are customizations galore, both to represent individuality and intersectionality. This can mean similar colours but different configurations, additional elements added to flags, or multiple flags melded.
Flags in general usually start with an individual design from an individual person, such as the rainbow flag by Gilbert Baker. But localizing the rainbow design to represent a more specific intersection of identities is relatively common!
While researching, I found this great resource for localized versions of the rainbow flag and their individual uses and meanings: https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/qq-rb_v.html
Here are some that I enjoyed learning about!
Dominican Republic gay pride
Hong Kong LGBT Flag
Lebanese gay flag (Lebanon)
LGBT Flag (South Korea)
I want to thank you for asking this because researching it was an enlightening experience for me! I enjoyed learning about it and am excited to share this information!
