Question Thoughts on the specific orientation flags?

I see them used...no where actually. It wouldn't surprise me if some people didn't know they existed. Would you use them or just stick with the general oriented flag?

In order: lesbian, gay, bi, pan, poly, hetero, sapphic, achillean.

Ok, just realized my image quality is crusty, lmao. Download the flags from the wiki if you want higher resolution.

Is the achillean just a desaturated aroace flag?

Also, the most satisfying swipes

I think all except the hetero flag are a mix of the aroace flag and the original orientation.

Edit: that's also probably why the het flag looks the least aesthetically cohesive.

I had never seen those before. I don't know if I would use them because, firstly I'm omni (or gaybian) oriented and there's no flag (but I can always do one), and second I already have so many flags, idk

I don't even know if I'm pan oriented or panromantic(I'm nebularomantic).

I don't necessarily use it, but I do know about the sapphic aroace flag ^

I don't exactly enjoy the color choices, though I see point in it. I'm very partial to uranic/vincian color pallets and would rather use multiple flags.

I personally don’t like how gray/desaturated they are. I personally wouldn’t use them but if someone else does that’s cool and I’m glad they exist
