There isn’t really an “official” lesbian flag, but the orange one seems to be the most commonly used one now as far as I’m aware. 

I don’t have her callout or whatever, but the creator of the lipstick lesbian flag was a big ol’ racist, I think transmisogynistic as well (IDR specifics but IIRC she really didn’t like GNC women and that’s quite the indicator), and also likely ripped her design from the cougar pride flag created 2 years prior (a picture of them side-by-side).

idk if this is relevant, sorry if im being annoying, but the creator of the orange-pink lesbian flag pretty much everyone uses is emily gwen and she’s currently struggling with money, not helped because people often don’t rly buy her merch with the design she created. she lives in my city so i can guarantee that the job search she’s struggling with is ridiculous, it can take years of jobsearching to get a job and the price of rent and living here is too much to live off centrelink on. if u guys want to buy merch w the flag pls buy it from her if you can

Emily has been subjected to various lesbophobic smearing campaigns on Twitter accusing her through decontextualized bullshit, entirely made up bullshit, or even things in which she’s right (such as her not supporting the “bi lesbian” thing).

I have a feeling that part of the reason she hasn’t received that much compensation for her own design while others have used it for monetary gain, has at least a little to do with that. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. If you can, please support her.
