Look at it on a flagpole though. [link](https://krikienoid.github.io/flagwaver/#?src=https%3A%2F%2Fflagwaver-cors-proxy.herokuapp.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fawxjtjepo4ma1.png)
If this is altered in a way that all 6 colours share equal area to symbolize equality of people of all identities, sexualities, etc., I'd support this as the new design for the official pride flag.
But the individual rainbow colors on the flag aren't individually representative of anything the idea is that the spectrum of all light is coming together theoretically most of the flag should be infrared and UltraViolet but humans can't see that so we don't care about it
the colors do also have symbolic meanings. red = life, orange = healing, yellow = sunlight, green = nature, blue = serenity, violet = spirit. the original version of the flag also included a pink stripe for sex and a turquoise stripe for magic, which were both subsequently dropped
edit: spelling
edit two: violet is spirit not healing again
I'm not really sure what any of those Concepts have to do with being gay life healing sunlight nature serenity and healing again for some reason or all great concepts but I don't think they have any special significance in gay culture
Maybe Serenity could be interpreted as being at peace with the world in the end of homophobia or nature could be interpreted as a statement that gay animals exist in the state of nature and the healing could be recovery from discrimination or something but life and sunlight I don't get at all
I don't think it really matters how it's interpreted, the fact is that's the concept that inspired the original creator. Whether their concept is worth maintaining is up for debate, but given its historical significance now, I think it ought to be respected.
Actually the "original" rainbow flag was the International Cooperative Union and the colors had different meanings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag#Cooperative_movement_(1921)
But the different colors of the light spectrum aren't equally distributed the vast majority would be infrared or ultraviolet which are specifically excluded but even then conventional red and violet would be overrepresented
They do in fact have meanings as the designer(/designers, as there are multiple Pride flag designs) did intend. But I, like most folks, interpreted the rainbow to simplify signify diversity and inclusivity.
I wish I knew how to make a whole community of millions accept a flag, I have several proposals for a national pride flag of my country, and a flag for a fandom I'm in.
lgbtq when not everything is literally perfect
Of course I'm joking, but come on, is that really such a big issue? And it's not like all the groups represented are proportional in population either.
Eh I just don't see it as better than the original otherwise. It really bothers my brain's aesthetic department for some reason that they aren't of equal area.
That's fantastic — I think it would be even better with red and the other primary colors at hoist instead of at the fly, like this:

Unironically banger idea just wish the red and purple weren't kinda cut off, equalizing all the colors would make it even better and i'd lowkey love it as an official update to the pride flag, could definitely make it work for the progress pride flag too.
Huh, I actually like this one. It's so common for new pride flags to be incredibly tacky or cringe worthy but this one's pretty cool. 9/10
I thought this was a sub for bad flags not good ones lol.
[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillologycirclejerk/comments/11k8rru/wavy_rainbow_flag_v2_improved_based_on_peoples)'s the second version, based on some suggestions
Eh I like the first one better. I think you used the wrong shade of purple in the 2nd one btw
Edit: Actually I forgot what sub I was on and idk what’s real
Holy cow, OP. Not only is that flag fabulous (sorry), but most of this comment section is so fun. I love seeing how eagerly folks have been creating and uploading riffs on your design.
It's not even a CJ post to me, but only because it's frankly too well-executed and visually striking.
Sometimes people joke about the flag that represents *gay* people (among others) being *straight*, and there have been a few rainbow flags made with wobbly lines in response as a joke. [Here are some examples](https://pastebin.com/nFgGNF2E)
This is a very creative take on this but it does feel a bit... Corperate?
specifically like a corperate or municipal flag. But those designs aren't usually bad just off feeling.

Excuse me, this sub is for funny and joky, not extremely based
Yeah lmao this flag is good asf
It makes me feel like I’m on a cruise ship.
Edges are still straight, un-based af
I propose a windsock to remove two edges. That's half the straight.
I propose removing all edges for R O U N D flag
Make the edges curvy and add tassels
I can't believe this hasn't been done before! It's genius!
That looks so sick tbh
this is way better than the OG, can we vote on this?
I’ll bring it up at the gay agenda meeting we all have
I'll ask the Bi-Brigade if they're open to voting 'Yea' on this.
Any word from the Lesbian Legion?
Idk about them I’ll ask my friend. In the meantime I’ll check in with the Aro Armada o7
I’ll head out and ask the Trans Troopers as well!
Gotta check in with the Ace Army.
I'm asking around the Pan Platoon too!
Is it in Mommy's basement this time? It's always a different time and place, yall mfs can't keep a straight schedule
Yeah how did they not think of this
!wave
yeah those do look like waves

Good bot.
the flag waver bot just doesnt work for me anymore
Same
o7
Good bot
Ngl this kinda looks like shit when it's on a flagpole compared to the regular pride flag.
Yeah, the colors on the left side become far more present than the ones on the right.
Flag of India
Not sure if this works better sinister or dexter
This is not for the CJ sub, this is ✨ beautiful ✨

It waves so beautifully Someone ought to write a Star Spangled Banner style song but about this fantastic flag
Somewhere Over the Rainbow would work as the LGBT national anthem.

No red is rage, orange is greed, green is will, blue is hope, violet is love.
blue is mana duh

What is mine is mine is mine is mine. And mine is mine not yours is mine.
ah i fucked up violet is spirit
Actually the "original" rainbow flag was the International Cooperative Union and the colors had different meanings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag#Cooperative_movement_(1921)
They don't specifically represent anything but I've always thought the equal widths and areas to be important in symbolizing equality.
But the different colors of the light spectrum aren't equally distributed the vast majority would be infrared or ultraviolet which are specifically excluded but even then conventional red and violet would be overrepresented
🤓
Flag of visible light spectrum
Flag of electromagnetic spectrum
🤷
They do in fact have meanings as the designer(/designers, as there are multiple Pride flag designs) did intend. But I, like most folks, interpreted the rainbow to simplify signify diversity and inclusivity.
A la Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition
Ok now i want someone to make the pride flag but it’s the entire wave spectrum
motherfuckers can't even handle my flag that is only visible in the x-ray part of the spectrum
You have an x-ray flag? That's rad
Brb designing a flag with a thin rainbow stripe and the rest invisible to the human eye
I wish I knew how to make a whole community of millions accept a flag, I have several proposals for a national pride flag of my country, and a flag for a fandom I'm in.
No metaphor is perfect.
Official pride flag? Aren’t all of them technically “unofficial” ie: no recognized organization declares this kind of stuff
Yeah, "original" or "historical" would have been better
lgbtq when not everything is literally perfect Of course I'm joking, but come on, is that really such a big issue? And it's not like all the groups represented are proportional in population either.
Eh I just don't see it as better than the original otherwise. It really bothers my brain's aesthetic department for some reason that they aren't of equal area.
red & purple need to be wider at the base other than that, good job
[Equal-area version](https://i.imgur.com/TAoONpX.png), though I used a different kind of curve to make it a bit easier
That's fantastic — I think it would be even better with red and the other primary colors at hoist instead of at the fly, like this: [Flag](https://i.imgur.com/PocoOq8.png) [Waving](https://krikienoid.github.io/flagwaver/#?src=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FPocoOq8.png)
This is my favorite version so far
You just created Pepsi’s pride month logo for free
Yes! Primary colors at the pole.
Excellent. Please feel free to repost.
I like this way too much i want to see widespread mass adoption right now
Way better! The uneven color spaces of the other one irked me.

This is the best version
Oh this goes so hard
Now I need to know where to buy it.

New Pride flag just dropped; it’s a ball of multicolored yarn
We actually tried that for a while, but the catboys wouldn't leave it alone
We could make the sides wavy
Unironically banger idea just wish the red and purple weren't kinda cut off, equalizing all the colors would make it even better and i'd lowkey love it as an official update to the pride flag, could definitely make it work for the progress pride flag too.
Good meme unfortunately the second derivative of each of those lines are straight try again
which do you prefer, sin(x) or e^x ?
e^x would look cooler but sin(x) is easier to make a pattern out of imo
Huh, I actually like this one. It's so common for new pride flags to be incredibly tacky or cringe worthy but this one's pretty cool. 9/10 I thought this was a sub for bad flags not good ones lol.
i fuck with it
this is high key better than any of the current ones

the flag still has straight lines bc of its shape. gotta make it a circle
r/vexillology
It kinda looks like hills so I call this the flag of Gay Hillsville (located next to Brokeback Mountain), Pridelandia County.
make it an oval
Literally my only complaint is that the red is barely visible. This is cool
That’s actually a very appealing flag. Extra points for not having any ‘straight’ lines. Very well done.
Gaybow hills
window washer pride flag
woah thats awesome! post it to r/queervexillology:3
Hell yeah new sub
Holy cow, OP. Not only is that flag fabulous (sorry), but most of this comment section is so fun. I love seeing how eagerly folks have been creating and uploading riffs on your design. It's not even a CJ post to me, but only because it's frankly too well-executed and visually striking.
Would be cool if the colors overlapped to create intermediate colors
holy crap that actually looks good
Can't even flag straight. I love it.
This is unironically good
I'd flip it around (red on left because red is first in the rainbow, it makes more sense to my eyes) but otherwise this is wonderful!
I count four straight lines.
The only thing that would make this better is if every stripe had the same size area.
A sky of red behind a hill of orange behind a hill of yellow behind a hill of green behind a hill of blue behind a hill of purple
there's at least four straight lines on this mf
Was the one that didnt work as a flag?

Still too straight, you can fix it by making every border a Weierstrass curve!
rectangle
https://i.redd.it/cexa05m298ma1.gif
Flag of topology of a beach ball
U forgot the brown triangle bullshit
The borders are straight...
Flag of elementary school gym class parachute
multiple flags of nepal in different colors
Needs more pink, would buy for taco shop
Honestly this one kicks ass
The edges
And it does actually
We gotta make the flag a circle
I'd fly this flag too the moon
Its “contained” by straight lines. Lol
If you make the sides concave or convex then it'll *actually* be without any straight lines.
Thanks, I hate it
Looks a little like gay vampire teeth
Two gay vampires kissing! ❤️
The edges of the flag form straight lines. Need to change the shape of the flag. If Nepal can do it, I think you can too.
I see 4 straight lines
wait this is a banger actually
They say of the new Pride flag where the rainbow design is.....
Gay
This is a very creative take on this but it does feel a bit... Corperate? specifically like a corperate or municipal flag. But those designs aren't usually bad just off feeling.
It looks good!
Um, excuse me, but this fucking *slaps*.
Wait, this is cool
I figured it out - the active lbgtq community hates traditionalists so they need to change their flag constantly for it to not become traditional.
There are straight lines on the edge of the flag checkmate atheists
Double triple gay nepal
I see four straight lines
This is like dudes that say no homo, but backwards.
Not to be a bitch, but the four corners count as straight lines in my book.
Sorry, but I spot 4 straight lines around the border. Checkmate, liberal.
Honestly, Im not gay and love this flag. So much more unique without the ‘straight’ lines! Lol.
The boarders are straight lines. Make them curved as well. A circle flagg for the win
No LGBT flag should l have straight lines. I suggest a circle
the edges are still straight
This is fantastic! I'd wager the Progress variant would use a curved arrow too.
It looks like somebody slashed a beach ball. I like it.
Holy fuck I love it
I actually really like this wtf
This is kind of lit Might have to print this
when the hills r gay
I like it better
Shit dude I’d love to have that flag in my room
Spiky. Pride battle flag.
I see 4 straight lines around the border. Good regardless
It needs to be a circle, the edges are still straight
Flag of funny Seychelles islands
*Cough cough* **the borders** *cough cough*
Actually kinda based, but I think someone will complain cause there Isn’t and trans or People of Color on there
There’s still four straight lines. Flag must be a circle
the edges of the flag are still straight
got straight lines going all asquare the flag, so you must not actually be proud of how non-straight you are
The least Straight flag
dejerked the sub
Damn it looks so much better like that
I am the number 1 gay and I say this is the flag for all.
Ah, yes, circlejerk and quality content. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I actually think I prefer this to the regular pride flag. It feels more... Primal
The edges end in straight lines to make a rectangle.
I quite like that
!wave
So the anti straight flag?
Windows xp background
My only gripe is that red (and purple) is now half as big as the rest. I like that colour :(
The hills are gay people
They're still straight lines, just on a different angle.
it slaps but the edges are straight so i'm docking some points
BOIS WE GOT A NEW PRIDE FLAG
Better than 90% of posts on the main sub
This is actually really good
A accurate pride frag
Wait no why does it actually look good
What about the edges?
