New Pin Badges

I've just added 2 more pin badges to my "man bag". First up we have the Progress Pride flag

 

This flag has been designed to incorporate the existing pride flag, and include brown & black stripes to represent people of colour, and white, pink & baby blue to include transgendered people who are represented by the trans flag. I proudly display this badge to show I am a member of the LGBT+ community, and that LGB includes the T.

Secondly we have the Gay Male or MLM Pride Flag

 

 

 

This flag was designed to represent the Gay Male /  MLM (Men Loving Men) segment of the LGBT+ community. This flag is not very well known, but since discovering it, and learning about it,  I use it to show the world that I am a gay male within the LGBT+ community.

 

LGBT Rights

Having recently seen all the press around the banning of conversion therapy for all LGBT+ individuals, I thought I would share how I am now, 19 months from my last blog post,  showing my support for LGBT+ rights.

I use a "man bag" and on the strap that is visible on the front I have 3 pin badges Each one has a meaning and I'll explain each one below.

Pride Roundel 

I use this to show the world that I am gay and take pride in who I am.

Come out for LGBT.

This is to show my continuing support for LGBT rights and Acceptance, and Stonewalls Come Out For LGBT. campaign.

Rainbow Laces

I wear Rainbow Laces and badge to show that I want to make sport everybody's game, rather than just a game for normal people.

Conversion Therapy Ban

I also believe there is no LGB without the T and fully support Stonewall's campaign calling for Conversion Therapy to be banned. In our modern society it should be made illegal, and when the government introduce a ban it should include Transgendered people as well as Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals.
