Confirmed: Queer people have iron deficiency.
What they want us to do? Straight-en it?
Obviously this is a joke, but there used to be an important reason we kept the flags wrinkled like that: it meant that you never knew who had bought a flag at a Pride event and who brought one they owned.
This meant that people who were ‘caught’ at an event by friends or family they weren’t out to, they could say they just bought the flag to support the cause. It also meant there was no way to tell who had been there longer than others.
I do not really understand what you mean. What is the difference? If it is “okay” to buy a flag now to support the cause, why would it not be okay to have done so a year ago?
Also, sounds like this person would not hang the flag in their room, so the folding marks would be there anyway?
“I was just caught up in the moment supporting my friends” vs “I am an active and participating member of the queer community”
But keeping them unironed and non-“straight” seems pretty on brand.
Come on, give them a chance, do you know how long these flags were in the closet?
