So this is Li’l Cheese, and he is (with the help of boneless 6) waving the Genderqueer flag.
“Created in 2011 by Marilyn Roxie, the genderqueer flag highlights androgyny with lavender, agender identities with white, and nonbinary people with green.” - Pride.com
Be proud of who you are, and what you are. I’m proud of you :3

Also, Derpibooru trolls, I’m not here to start stuff, but I will defend my choices if I must. This is Pride Month after all.

I’ll agree that it’s not a good idea to come looking for a fight, but I also think it’s not fair to look at the actions of one person and equate it to the whole LGBTQ community.

The purpose of the flags and identities is so that people can feel like there are others like them, not to create one unified group. Vagueness does not often lead to people feeling understood.
@Backgroundpony
Genderqueer isn’t strictly about nonidentity, it’s about identifying as “other”. Agender is about nonidentity. Genderqueer people so feel they have a gender, that just don’t feel that gender can be summarized by male or female.
Much agreed with all what you said.
But I must say that with this flag in particular I have Special Beef with. Something About taking the Concept of a Nonidentity (not being indentified by gendersterotypes in this case) and turning it to a identity in itself with ist own stereotypes rubs me the wrong way.
Good opinions. Though I will say that there are occasions where dodging only leads to more damage. Perhaps not in this case. Next time I won’t visibly put my guard up, if I think I’m posting something controversial .
Li’l cheese is pretty danged adorable

Much agreed. Telling commenters you’re ready for a fight is literally asking for drama. And let’s people know you will read any rude comments they make, and will get upset over them…
Blocking an attack is never going to be as effective as dodging an attack. Gotta teach yourself to ignore bad posts, and report the worst ones. Give attention to the good comments instead.
I really don’t like pride flags, they’re rarely a good color combo. And by having too many they just made the attempt at a “recognisable global image of unity” totally fail. More flags means less people under each one, makes us devided… But that aside I love Lil Cheese as a colt.
The fact that the LGBTQ+ community gets downvoted and offensive comments levelled at them regardless, makes me feel defensive for them automatically.
But you are right. Keep safe, stay home :3 We can beat the virus if we work together apart
Stay home, not in the closet.
