(update: i've decided to call it the "blossyqueer flag" for the time being, until i can think of a better name)

i coined a flag the other day - originally i wanted to create one just to represent my gender, but it took a lot of attempts and ultimately turned more into something representing my values than anything else.

i ended up making a fusion of the zoo flag and the radqueer flag, which i guess is appropriate given i started out in the more mainstream zoo community on twitter (which i feel still has a long way to go in terms of queer acceptance), whereas by now i've branched out a lot more into all-encompassing radical queer advocacy - a step that to me is only logical given that i tend to try my best to be consistent in my views, and to support one group of marginalized queer folks but not another would be hypocrisy.

the blue heart represents love for oneself, and the purple heart represents love for others. the diagonal stripe with the gradient on it represents radical acceptance of and advocacy for people regardless of what attractions they might have. the crown represents standing strong when faced with bigotry, and being a beacon of hope and positivity for others.
