[ Warmer/More Purple Flags ]
Created by @undeadedits for those who wanted a less blue/more purple color-scheme."So I put the Gay man flag (by @gayflagblog ) into an editor and made a pretty, more relaxed version that accentuated more of the purples in the flag for when I’m not really feeling like blue. Feel free to use!"Original post archived here

[ Purple/Pink Flags ]
Created by @IanBlazquez to incorporate/blend the color Pink and it's historical connections with Gay men into the flag."Some weeks ago (months ago) several users made, for me, valid critiques of the flag and its colours, even though there’s quite some LGBTI+ history in @GayFlagTwit original flag: historical green for “homosexual affiliations”, the white for GNC-trans-NB gays, purple = pink+blue.BUT there was still a significant colour associated with gays in the last decades that was missing: pink. Think “pink triangle” (resignified Nazi symbol), “pink-washing” for gay-friendly, bisexual symbols where pink means homosexuality; pink as synonymous of gay.So I took the liberty to edit @undeadedits warmer version of @GayFlagTwit’s flag and shifted the colours to include pink and warmer greens, trying to bring together all these historical symbols. (Purple could be more purple, if I’m honest; I’m noticing now). What d'you think?"Archived here, Link to the full original Twitter thread here

[ Green/Carnation Flags ]Proposed edit of the Gay Man Flag made by @.akides_ on Twitter, meant to have a more yellowish-green to resemble the carnation, a symbol of gay love between men.Archived here

[ Hyacinth Flags ]"Pride flags with historical flowers are very visually appealing and the green in the flag stands for Nature, so I thought these would be fitting. Also a good alternative for ppl who don’t want a plain flag but don’t like the Double-Mars symbol for aesthetic reasons.If you want to know why I picked the Hyacinth, it’s because of the Greek myth where Apollo created it from the blood of his lover, Hyacinth/Hyacinthus. Hyacinth was also the lover of Thamyris, said to be the “first man to love another man”Archived here
