i know ive talked about this before but we literally have no reason not to bring the original gay flag made in the 70s by gilbert baker back to regular use!

the pink stripe was simply taken away because pink fabric was too expensive to mass reproduce at the time, and the turquoise stripe was taken away for a really odd reason: for the harvey milk remembrance parade in 1979, they wanted three stripes on each side of the street and didn’t want it to be asymmetrical, so they did away with the turquoise stripe. like, they could have fixed it in some other way without removing a whole stripe, but eh whatever history’s history.

the pink originally symbolized sex and the turquoise was for magic/art and it would just be really cool if we could bring both the stripes back into regular use again since there wasn’t any significance behind the removal of the stripes and we’re perfectly capable of mass producing flags with all the stripes again!

if anyone is interested, in 2017, shortly before he died, gilbert baker added a 9th stripe in lavender to represent diversity, partly in response to trump’s election. while i dont expect it to gain any kind of widespread usage, it is an interesting fact!

❌❗️STOP SCROLLING❗️❌

This is very important!!!

These beautiful animals are the vaquitas, the world’s smallest and most endangered porpoise. There are an estimated 12-30 remaining in the wild and their numbers have been rapidly declining due to being caught in illegal fishing nets.

APROXIMATELY 36 ARE KILLED EACH YEAR. THERE ARE ONLY 30 LEFT. THIS COULD BE THEIR LAST YEAR IF WE DON’T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Donate to conservation foundations like the WWF who work to protect vaquitas! We need to keep this beautiful animal on our planet!!!

Please share this post so we can spread awarness because hardly anyone knows about them!!!

They look like dolphins mixed with penguin they’re so cute please help them guys
