I want to be clear that I really like seeing people celebrate LGBTQ+ pride in general! <3
This is just based on my own experiences of being unsure of where I fit in, and the frustration of not having a label to use in casual conversation.
I'm a little hesitant to post this, because I know that labels don't mean very much practically speaking, and it's pretty immature of me to still be hung up on this at my age.
Also, I realise now that it's not even 'pride month' in Australia, whoops.
Anyway, hopefully some people can relate. Sorry for being so negative!

The first time I see this kind of introspection in pride art, nice work on the flag mixing :) Remember that labels should just be tools, not a source of anguish, and even though most people want to fit you in a box, you certainly don't have to ^^ I hope that one day people can just feel free be attracted to anyone they want (or noone) rather than trying to fit somewhere
This is a wonderful attribution to the pride movement in my opinion. It's difficult for many people to give their support without comitting to a "position" in it all. Don't feel immature about it, labels have been extremely popular in society for a while now and it's quite difficult to fully find a label one can identify with, especially when you compare yourself to others under the same label.
Be to be true to yourself and take pride in that! My two cents is that no label can ever fully grasp the complexity of a single individual Happy Pride month!

Das understandable, I went through whole range of labels before making peace with the thought that a single label cannot fully define me or someone else. Ever since I just go by 'Queer' if I need to define my identity to someone. It's like, I know I don't fit in the heteronormative worldview, and that knowledge is as far as I need to go to define myself
