This site is a labr of love and exists only because I wanted it. Everything here is researched to the best of my ability, but I welcome corrections and further information and resources.
Note that I cannot get through every single pride flag in a month! For that reason, I've stuck with pride flags I would use in a background; ones that I personally identify with. This means some common ones may be "missing" from this lineup.
