    I'm pretty sure all of us know the rainbow standard which is considered the basic gay pride flag and sort of umbrellas anything not straight. But I personally had no clue that every single group has their own symbols. The only one I knew was the bisexual gender knot. But anyway, when I say every group I mean every single one.

    Lesbian, Gay, Gender queer, Gender fluid, Genderless, Gynesexual, Bisexual, Bigender, Transexual, Transgender, Transvestite, Two-Spirited, Transitioning, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Agender, Ally, Androgenous, Androsexual, Pansexual, Pangender, Omnisexual, Omnigender, Demi sexual, Straight, Skoliosexual, Cisgender, Third-Gender, Boydyke. (Boydyke is a thing. I checked. Although it does seem mostly frowned upon.)

    I'm simply amazed by the extensiveness of it all. But I guess the essential question here is: Do you know your flag?

    Here's mine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_pride_flag#/media/File:Bi_flag.svg

    I don't know my flag... there are way too many labels. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing

    I was not aware there were so many and I have no idea if there exists a specific male homosexual flag separate from the general gay pride one, but if a group wants a flag, then more power to them.

    As an object sexual, I know my pride symbol. It is the image of a red fence.

    I honestly think there's too many flags... and labels. I've even started seeing some LGBT related sites posting fetish flags (like the fat fetish flag or slave/master pride flag. yes, they exist). But to be more on topic:

    I don't think there is an official "gay-male pride flag" (surprisingly), as the rainbow flag is the one that is broad enough to represent the LGBT+ community.

    Well pretty much anyone with MS Paint can draw a flag and put it on the internet so there's a ton. I can't keep them all straight, but I know the rainbow flag and the transgender flag.

    They don't bother me, though I don't have any flags, of any sort, now that I think of it. But if somebody is proud of whatever aspect of their sexuality or preferences, more power to them, even if it might strike some people as unusual.

    Yeah I saw the leather flag during my research. And the one that's the plain rainbow but with a black stripe instead of a purple one. Not sure if they mean the same thing though.

    I've actually forgotten what the flag and symbol for Panssexuality looks like. When I last checked, the Greek god Pan wasn't even apart of the symbol! The fact that we don't use Pan as our mascot is unbelievable. :bang:

    Do Androgynes even have a flag, or is it considered as falling under the flag for genderqueers?
