hewwo it’s friday reptiliform token gay dude etc here w a gay man flag redesign.

it’s inspired by the original rainbow flag, which has become more of a symbol of general pride, but with a few twists, and bringing back a few of the less used colours. some of the meanings have also been changed for this flag specifically (as the colours have traditionally represented multiple things). i wanted to base it around the rainbow because it’s a theme that is connected to gay men, the colours are also easy to come by and recognisable.

this flag is intended for gay men and non woman nb people who are (only) attracted to men/non woman aligned ppl.

this flag includes gay trans men and nb gay men, as well as she/her gay men.

i asked if anyone knew who i could tag to spread this and my friends said i should @ warriormale so @warriormale pls rb my flag for the gay dudes who love to fight

For those Men who read this blog and who belong to the gay camp I will post this.

I constantly get questions from gay and trans Men asking about Manliness.

My answer:

Fighting produces and nurtures Manliness.

Maniness is possible for all Men, regardless of their self concept  (cis, trans, gay, bi, etc)

My message is a pretty simple one.

All Men should know how to fight.

This is very important, especially for Men who are singled out in our Consumer Culture as targets for abuse, attack and discrimination.

This is a daily painful reality for these Men.

So its very important to learn and practice a fight skill to protect yourself and those you love.

A few years ago I had a close friend who lost his life walking 2 girls home from a bar in Philadelphia. He was jumped by two Men and because he didn’t know how to defend himself he suffered a blow to the head, hit the ground, lost consciousness and died a few hours later. He would be alive today if he had fight skills. 

So this very sad episode is part of the reason why I keep this fight blog, especially for Men who are targets for abuse and attack.

I believe all Men should have a “hard” side to them. It can be kept under wraps, especially if you like being a soft Man.

But, for your own safety, nurture that hardness. 

You will never know when you will be called upon to use it to save your own life or the lives of those you care about and love.

Something to think about. 

Over and out.

thank you warriormale, for responding seriously. im truly sorry for what happened to your friend, the world we live in is full of cruelty and hatred and no one should ever have to lose people like that. thank you also for your message, of embracing masculinity for the purpose of strengthening oneself and watching out for others. it’s been a big encouragement for me personally as someone who’s often struggled to find motivation to try to keep fighting.

i cant speak on behalf of all gay men but i know that i for sure am grateful to you for running the blog you do, and everyone i talk to has only positive associations with you. your continued messages of support for the gay and trans communities are very much appreciated and taken to heart. im sorry to have brought back that kind of incident but thank you for encouraging men to fight and stay strong in the complicated world we live in.

Thank you for your kind words and show of Respect.

I deeply appreciate it.
