Wear your colors or show your love!
Freedom of expression is our most powerful expression of freedom.
(It's worth noting that product and the other designs I'll be adding soon is sold, and shipped by an actual transgender person--or occasionally by her wonderful cis/straight little sister ally--isn't that awesome!)
Item may vary slightly in coloration of stripes/backing as shown, and depending on lighting, as these are made in batches. Newest batch shown has an even better purple stripe than the originals. That's now shown in the first photo.
Item is approximately 16mm wide at its widest and comes in a silver nickel metal finish.
Selling this item has been a true honor as I try to stand up for the muslim queer community when others have been afraid.

Hi.
Hope your well :)
Just wanted to run some analogies by you, with no intended public offence, unlike this product undoubtedly offends 2 Billion people.
- How would you feel if if I put for sale a photo of your mother hugging Hitler? Be honest.
- How would you feel if I I sold a photo of the Queen in her casket with a caption that said Evil with guns in replace of roses? Be honest.
- How would you feel if I sold your country flag with the words “colonisers” and “racist” written on it? Be sincere.
- How would you feel if I sold a product with the LGBT flag with the caption “morally wrong” written on it? Be considerate.
You have to respect other peoples rights and religion just as your expect they do to you, not crossing respected boundaries.
Otherwise you are the hero who has become the villain. Doing to us exactly what you hate being done to you.
And forcing your ideology on us, just the way you ‘claim’ was done to us.
And not truly believing in liberalism as you don’t sincerely respect our rights to our beliefs. And so try and force yours. Becoming an communist in reality.
My sister please be compassionate. And I know you will not post a screen shot of this message by me. Knowing in your heart. I am right with valid points.

“This is very disrespectful to our country. Kindly remove this. You may not understand other countries morals beliefs but please remove this.“
Note the hater does not specify their specidic country. There are many, many countries that Muslims live peacefully in, like India, Italy, Indonesia, and Israel… and those are just a few that start with the letter “I.” I understand hate and intimidation against LGBTQ people when I see it, and that is not what Allah wants of us anywhere on Earth.

“With all due respect. Please stop selling this. Islam doesn’t approve of pride or homosexuality. You’re disrespecting our religion and our creed.”
Previously 2021
Hey,
I really mean no offence to you when I say this but I would really appreciate it if you could discontinue this product, The crescent and star symbol on the flag is one of the most common symbols associated with Islam and as you may know being apart [sic] of the LGBT community is a big sin Islam. I really don't want to offend you in any way and I don't want this message to leave you with a negative impression of Muslims, but please discontinue this item. I hope you take my request into consideration and I hope you enjoy your day?
Also 2021:
Hey! Your stuff is pretty nice but I wanted to tell you that we don’t have a symbol in Islam, that’s just the Turkish flag. Also, we believe that homosexuality is a huge sin, we know that it isn’t a choice and having gay thoughts isn’t haram but acting upon it is. Technically I am homophobic, I don’t support gay people but I also don’t hurt them?? It’s kinda like a don’t mess with me I won’t mess with you situation and that goes for most Muslims.
I don’t wanna start any arguments but if u can change the title of the supposed Muslim gay pin or take it down because it may not be offensive to you but it is to us then that’ll be great lol
Thanks!”
As such, this pin has been renamed in her honour. (Yep, that’s honour with an o-u-r as in, “Our love always wins over hate.”)
One from 2020:
This item was temporarily named after someone who informed me that LGBT (she missed the QIA+) pride is forbidden and haram. See the last item picture. Thank you for your contribution.
Faith and queerness are not mutually exclusive. Just as Islam is submission to a higher force, so too is acknowledging the innateness of identity and attraction within each human being, that is both their own to discover and their right and privilege to share with the world.
