A flag composed of alternating black and white strips, with a design similar to the
rainbow LGBTQ pride flag, was created to represent
straight pride. Several variations of this flag exist. One uses white, grey and black colors, mimicking the rainbow flag and originating in the early 2000s. Another variation with the male and female
gender symbols imposed over its field also exists.
Russia In 2015, the Russian political party
United Russia, of which the
President of Russia Vladimir Putin was then part, introduced a straight pride flag to be displayed on the
Peter and Fevronia Day (also known as the Day of Family, Love and Faithfulness). It consists of a woman, a man and their three children with a hashtag saying ("#RealFamily") below. It was created as a response to the legalization of
same-sex marriage in the United States earlier the same year. It has three variants, each representing one of the three colors of the
flag of Russia. One portrays the family and text in red on a white background while the other two display the symbols in white on a red or blue field. with the only differences being that the French organization's flag has two children and not three. However, Alexey Lisovenko, the then deputy head of United Russia in
Moscow, stated that the design of the flag had been done with the approval of creators of
La Manif pour tous flag. Described as "a response to the 'identity politics' of the left", the event attracted several hundred participants and thousands of counter-protesters, who vastly outnumbered participants of the parade. This flag was rectangular and divided from its upper hoist to its lower fly, with pink at the fly and blue at the hoist, and superimposed with interlocked male and female gender symbols in yellow bordered with black.
Online In 2021, a social media trend called "
super straight" emerged on
TikTok on 21 February and later spread to other websites like
4chan,
Reddit and
Twitter. Supporters stated that "super straight" was a new sexuality describing heterosexuals who would never have a sexual relationship with
transgender people. Its originator said he created the term because he was tired of being called
transphobic. The trend was described by
Insider as transphobic, and listed by
GLAAD as online
hate speech. Supporters of the trend created an orange and black flag, which has been said to be meant to imitate
PornHub's logo. Variants of the flag included the
hashtag "#SuperStraight" or intertwined male and female symbols. Some 4chan users used the acronym SS for "super straight", which led some people, including some supporters of the trend on the website, to associate it with the logo of
Adolf Hitler's
Schutzstaffel, which also used SS as its acronym. As a result, some flags with
Nazi symbolism were also used by these supporters. == Allyship ==
