lesbian flag
It would be nice if the lesbian flag emote was changed, as the current one being used has transphobic and lesphobic backgrounds. if you search lesbain flag, the new, more inclusive one should be there so that you have reference. it has shades of orange on the top.
Thank you for the feedback on this! We have updated the LesbianPride global emote on Twitch!

The current lesbian pride emote uses a flag that is problematic. The creator of the flag has made racist remarks towards Asians, and the flag itself is exclusionary towards trans and butch lesbians. This is the most commonly used lesbian flag:

One of your global pride emotes, the lesbian pride flag heart, is the incorrect flag. the flag that is used on said emotes does not represent our community anymore, and it should be changed to the newer version. the newer version is often called the “sunset lesbian flag” and that’s how you should be able to find it. please, do your research so we can be fully represented in your pride emotes!!

The lesbian flag used in the LesbianPride emote isn't the correct flag. That flag was created by a racist transphobe plus the flag was made to exclude gender non-conforming lesbians. It is harmful and non-inclusive. Changing it is long overdue, get to it.

In honor of Lesbian Visibility Day, please consider updating the LesbianPride emote from the lipstick lesbian flag to the sunset lesbian flag. I don't feel comfortable using the lipstick lesbian flag emote, as the creator is racist and exclusionist, and the flag doesn't personally represent my own identity well anyways. The sunset lesbian flag is much more inclusive!

Hi, the current lesbian emote that twitch uses consists of the pink lesbian flag which excludes butches, studs, and nonbinary/trans lesbians. It is incredibly disrespctful to many in the lesbian community, which is why many use a different lesbian flag! The orange flag, created by Emily Gwen (@diabolicdyke), includes all lesbians as a whole, and is widely used and accepted by the lesbian community. I really suggest twitch finally makes the change and switches emote flags to this flag to show acceptance to all lesbians. Here is a carrd on more info, created by Emily, https://emilygwen.carrd.co/ .

The lesbian flag in the Twitch emote LesbianPride is outdated and discarded, as its creator was highly transphobic and didn't include masculine/gender-non-conforming lesbians. The new flag called the "sunset lesbian flag" represents all lesbians, no matter their gender expression. The old flag can be viewed as harmful and exclusive, and quite frankly, ugly. Please update it.

@llinhi “have racist, biphobic, and transphobic origins.“ you have a lot of fantasy.
I understand the agumentation, but you should get rid of the racist thing, that's a bit to much. -
