A proposed flag was unfurled a few days back at the Master/Slave Conference 2005, offered as "representation of the Dominant/submissive or Master/slave Lifestyle." In my opinion, the design is a bit of an eyesore, reminiscent of a visit to the eye doctor, much as I'm usually fond of a red and black color scheme. I also question the need for yet another flag, especially when the
whole collar thing is about the most prevalent symbol (along with the
leather vest) in the public scene.

I know there's a desire on behalf of some D/S and M/S types to express their uniqueness from the scene-at-large, but do we really need another flag?

I saw the symbolism right off the bat, but frankly the flag doesn't do anything for me. And does the kinky world really need another symbol?

Personally I still like the traditional Leather flag, it is similiar enough to show our history and alliance with the Gay Community to show are shared beliefs - that alternative sexulity is not only OK but should be celebrated.

It's been around long enough that most people recognize what it stands for, even a few nilla people.

I can understand why another subculture within our culture would want a flag/symbol of its own...but instead of pulling apart, we should be rallying under the "strips of blue and black".

There are two kinds of pain in this world. The pain of displine and the pain of regret. Choose wisely.

Yeah, Misha, I actually mentioned your redesign of the Leather Pride flag elsewhere when this topic came up. Much more attractive than this new flag....pat, pat.

I don't care for it, but no one should pay attention to what I think, I am not into flags. (rxception for the US, Irish, and Italian flags)

I kind of like it but there isn't a need for it and it is unbalanced... looks a bit too much like an I-ching symble.

Exactly!
But what about those "represented" by the flag, that are not...poor things. I feel their pain.
