Hi hi. What you’re seeing here is an updated version of my summer 2018 Pride Flags comic. The original version contained a mistake (I switched two colors on the ace flag, sorry ace friends!) and the new version features an additional row of flags! As of the time I’m making this update, even this newer version is kinda out of date – there’s a new lesbian flag that’s gained a lot of traction and more or less supplanted the old ones – but I figure this version is still an improvement on the original.

For the sake of completeness I’ve left the original version below.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! I’ll be spending the weekend in the Utah Pride Festival’s 1 to 5 Club booth, sheltering from the sun and hopefully working on some art! I’ll also be marching in the parade: I’ll be the one trying to avoid poking other people with my gothy parasol. I hope everyone has a wonderful Pride!

Pride Flags: A Guide

Xan is standing in a line of people, holding a parasol and waving. Among the people in the line are RF, Teigue, and That One Guy, who looks confused and is holding a bus timetable.

XAN: “It’s almost Pride Month! In fact, the Utah Pride Festival is this weekend! So this year, I drew a guide to some of the more common flags you might see at Pride. (There’s no punchline. I just think pride flags are cool.)”
