The yellow ribbon is the "Support Our Troops" one.

For Canadian troops at least, it comes in yellow, as well as desert and temperate CADPAT.

When will camp die? I'd really like to see it go bust before I die, at least.

I remember something in my vaguely at the back of my memory about their being a purple triangle for Gay pride, a black upside down triangle for Lesbian pride... but never knew anything beyond that well other than the obvious rainbow being the full pride spectrum.

So I didn't know about a bisexual pride symbol/logo/flag...

One of the Tattoo's I've been considering is the pride gender symbols in a band around my arm. Knowing about this flag might give me another design or an alternative.

The triangles were used as patches by the Nazis to identify undesirables in the general public. The pink one was used exclusivley for homosexuals while the black was used for lesbians and prostitutes.

There are a great many flags and symbols for LGBTQ cultures.

Yeah, the triangles have a bad history. I know people have been trying to reclaim them, but I would be careful about getting them tattooed.

For ultimate reclimation, you could have both, on transposed over the other, one pointing up, one down...

Well, queer is still used as an insult as well. And I don't know, it's just that tattooing something on yourself that was tattooed on people in this context is... If I saw that, I wouldn't be sure what to make of it. But as long as you know the whole thing, then it's your decision of course.

EDIT: sorry, I'm being a bit confusing. I know the symbols were patches on your clothes and the tattoos were numbers.

Yeah, I'm not sure what a good idea that tatto would be. Also, pink tattoo ink is sort of ugly in my opinion.

quote from my brother in law: you have to be a real man to have a pink tattoo
he have a little pink heart on his arm
it can be done well, just be careful where you are getting it made

It depends on your skin-tone as well, sometimes a pink tattoo will just not show up properly unless its bright fluorescent hot pink.

So ambivalent to Burke, but this is great.

Also; good call on using Henrik Lundquist. DREAMBOAT.

While I'm not big on military - the yellow ribbon has a very sweet story to it.... so I hear.

It comes from a song about a dude who goes to prison for a long time, but his girlfriend/wife still wants him despite not talking to him while he was in prison, for some reason.

Just like the military!

So I was in Asda yesterday, and I went to the pharmacy to get my other half some heartburn stuff. The conversation went as follows:

Pharmacist: Is your partner pregnant?
Me: (laughing) No.
P: Are you sure?
M: I hope so, he's a man.

Yep, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn. This is why you see the actual ribbons tied around trees as much as you do the cause ribbons. Interesting, isn't it?

Oh yeah, stumbled across the Nazi flags after making that post... I knew about the Jewish stars and one for Gypsies I didn't realise about all the others. Then in my head I felt like "Damn I regret making that post now mentioning them!".

But if I do get a Pride tat it will most likely be like I said the various gender symbols interlocking in a band around my arm. But it's not the first Tat on my list and also my money is going to other things right now, so it might be a while yet.

I may one day get a pride tat but the one that is foremost on my list is a phrase thats been translated into one of the elven languages made by Tolkien. Im a huge LOTR fan which brings me to this question. Who do you like most?

Dominic Monaghan Image

Orlando Bloom Image

Viggo Mortensen Image

OOOOOOOOR

Elijah Wood Image

I personally like Dominic, theres just something about that accent of his thats intoxicating.
