(ALL OF THE THINGS) You Should Know

Kristin and Dannielle give advice to those who are confused about sexuality, gender-identity, dating, falling in love, or even dressing up like Super Woman. They also visit high schools and college campuses nationwide to help bring change and awareness while keeping everyone laughing. (from website)

Also, Kristin and Dannielle are currently touring. If you can make an event, I highly recommend doing so. (Personal Note: If you are around the western Virginia area, I will be attending the Hollins evening. Come say hey and we can laugh and listen together.)

RAISE (Your) FLAG Pt. 3

(post revised with newest/final version of flag June ‘11)

Gender Queer Flag

The genderqueer pride flag was created by collaborators posting renditions on the web at http://gqid.tumblr.com and was finalized with the current, most widely used, design created by Marilyn Roxie.

Lavender (#b57edc): The mixture of blue and pink (traditional colors associated with men and women, present on the transgender pride flag) as lavender is meant to represent androgynes and androgyny. Also represents the  “queer” in genderqueer, as lavender is a color that has long been associated with “queerness”, including gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities. 
 
White (#ffffff): Meant to represent agender identity, congruent with the gender neutral white on the transgender pride flag.
 
Dark Chartreuse Green (#498022): The inverse of the lavender color; meant to represent “third gender” identity, i.e. those whose identities are defined outside of and without reference to the binary.
