I'm old and out of touch. I bought asexual branded shoelaces because I thought they were nice colours. My daughter laughed at me.

To be fair, they are nice colors

I wonder if there's some correlation with pride flags and who they represent. I adore the ace colors and fall in that spectrum so I've always wondered if it was like that for others too.

If that even makes any sense.

I will say, I am more partial to the bi colors than pan and that's one reason I ID as it despite maybe more closely aligning with pan.

Also relatively few people outside of the LGBT community know the bi colors. Which means I can wear them somewhere on me for people to see. So it's like a secret code to other agenda members without outting myself in this small conservative town.

agenda members

I absolutely love it when a community co-opts a term that's supposed to be denigrating and squelches the offensiveness by using it to refer to themselves. It's like the linguistic version of pulling off a glove one finger at a time and then smacking the shit out of the people calling you names.

Granted "the LGBT agenda" is less an insult and more of a dogwhistle for bigots, but I still think what you did there is neat.

This reminds me of when I wore trans pride socks and my mom thought that they were just regular stripy socks and she said "I used to wear socks like that when I was your age" and my sister and I were so confused lmao.

I'm a fabric geek, I don't really care about colour I'm going for plane and shape. At one point I found out about dazzle camouflage from WW1. I started using it as a motif in everything I made. Two easy examples-

I laughed and laughed when I found out black and white stripes was the hetero flag. I got that right anyway 🤣
