This will drive the rednecks bat shit crazy


This might be a bad idea. Probably- I've had them before.

 

I think that it reminds me of the controversy over the word queer.

 

To those of us in the South there's no word quite so hateful. Wrapping my mind around the concept of taking that word back took a lot of getting used to.

 

Those of us that are either from the South or live here know a lot about hate. Just today in the local paper there was a whole editorial page dripping with it.

 

They call us unstable- after tormenting us from childhood. They call us immoral- based on four or five vague references in their bible. They call us lots of things that I won't dirty up my blog with but none of it is nice.

 

I used to get mad. Then I said fuck it.

 

I'm going to take away their most prized symbol. It's ours too. We were born here. We can claim the same heritage if not for exactly the same reasons.

 

What you are going to see behind the spoiler may shock you. If you were born down here in the South, you'll laugh and understand just how bat shit crazy it will drive the rednecks.

 

Take it back. It belongs to you. You are a son of the South- even if only treated like a step-son.

I would think you could do a lot more with the design potential. Come on, slicing both of them down the middle and slapping them together? I'm a straight immigrant and even I could do better.

my software has limitations. That was my original thought but that is the best I could clip together.

We'll need mockups for the focus groups. Then maybe we can decide on a prototype.

I was thinking diagonal with the rainbow on top. ;)

Oh, just a little. :P My dad is VERY southern and his favorite attachment to any group of people hated was 'faggots'. Windsurfers = Windfaggots, Liberals = Libtard faggots, Environmentalists = bleeding heart faggots.

 

I may have grown up in the Pacific NW, but I knew all about bigotry from home. I try to educate him now, but it's a long, slow process. I'm just glad I only had to deal with 2 of them (he's an identical twin, and they're REALLY identical) so I'm glad I don't like where you do, James!

Stars and Bars on top of Rainbow?  Or filling in from both sides?  Stay safe.

I agree with Gandalf.  Just stars and bars over the top of the rainbow flag.

Leave it to a bunch of fags to get all worked up over the design hahaha weirdos

 

Also each star should be a rainbow color, leave the background the same and put it in a gold filigree frame

Change the blue in the cross to rainbow and you've got it. This is hilarious and it will absolutely piss off the inbred hillbillies who still cling to this as a symbol.

As an African-American woman who lives in the Deep South, I applaud you. I will fly your freak flag with my right fist proudly raised. I can assure you, everything you've heard about being gay, I've heard about being Black. Change the f word to the n word...I bet you the rhetoric is interchangeable.
