    I bought a gay pride flag for my hobby room but since I'm bi, would I be misrepresenting or anything?

    (not like they make readily available bisexuality pride flags)

    Don't you mean the rainbow flag? It's actually a symbol for anyone who identifies as LGBT, though most people uncommonly assume it's just for gay people, since that's probably where it's most commonly used.

    I have a rainbow bracelet and bisexual magnet, personally.

    Yeah a rainbow flag still works. Some people may misinterpret it, but then you get to correct them. :wink:

    Why not? It is L(lesbian), G(gay), B(bisexual), and T(trans). LGBT flag, the rainbow flag. You could get the Bi flag, I got some Bi stuff for my daughter, but she also wears the rainbow.

    It's because you tried posting an image as a URL, so it has no idea what it wants to do. You need to right click the original picture, select "Copy Image Location" then put that in tags in your post. Not to mention the code I quoted has some other tags that say [primary] and [secondary] and those might confuse things a bit more.

    EDIT: Photobucket, even better. Just click where it says "Direct link" and that's the one you need. :slight_smile:

    To my understanding, the rainbow flag doesn't represent "Gay people", it represents something a little more than that. Since gay pride parades are a celebration of people being themselves, that, at least to me, is what the rainbow flag represents: A world where people are themselves without any discrimination or hatred. As of right now, that's wishful thinking, but I think it'll be achieved in the future. So no, there's no representation.
