LGBTQ+ flags are bold and colorful symbols in the community that represent the array of included identities. There is also a ‘straight’ Pride flag that exists and it looks like you’d expect: a copy of the Pride flag but wiped of color and meaning. The most common iteration of the straight Pride flag is just a flag consisting of black and white horizontal bars, like the one above an attempt at copying the classic LGBTQ+ Pride flag with no flair or creativity. The ‘straight’ Pride flag was created as a direct attempt to mimic and troll the Pride flag. The reactionary ‘straight’ Pride marches have been taking place since the 1980s, often used as an anti-gay stance to ridicule the LGBTQ+ community.
