Summary

Description
English: The flag consists of shades of blue and azure, symbolizes the attraction of men to each other and the diversity of the gay community itself. Blue and azure shades for the gay flag were chosen on the basis that these colors are used for the symbolic image of men and homosexual men in particular.

The flag has seven horizontal stripes. First top three stripes are coloured in azure gradation from dark to light: azure, sky blue, light sky blue. The fourth stripe is white. The fifth stripe is grey light blue. Last sixth and seventh stripes are blue, from light to dark.

The goal of creating this flag was increasing the subjectivity of the gay community as a separate part of the entire LGBT community and the awareness of gay people of their own specific problems - such as gayphobia and misandry (gender stereotypes against men) in general, masculine divergence, demonization of gay men with accusations of child molestation, sadism and other unacceptable perversions, double standards for attitudes towards bisexuality and bi-curiosity, problems with reproductive rights and opportunities (access to surrogacy services, creation of artificial womb and reproductive independence of men in general), a number of countries where only male homosexuality is prohibited, a rigid framework for gentle tactile male friendship and a gender "male box" in general.
Русский: Флаг состоит из оттенков голубого и синего, символизирует влечение мужчин друг к другу и разнообразие самого гей-сообщества.

Голубые и синие оттенки для флага геев были выбраны исходя из того, что для символического изображения мужчин и гомосексуальных мужчин в частности используются именно эти цвета. Флаг состоит из семи горизонтальных полос. Первые три полосы окрашены в оттенки голубого от более темных к более светлым: голубой, светло-голубой, небесный; четвертая полоса белая; пятая полоса серо-голубая; последние две полосы окрашены в оттенки синего: светлый и тёмный.

Целью создания этого флага было повышение субъектности гей-сообщества как отдельной части всего ЛГБТ-сообщества и осознание геями своих собственных специфичных проблем — таких как гейфобия и мизандрия (гендерные стереотипы о мужчинах) в целом, мужская расходность, демонизация геев с обвинениям в растлении детей, садизме и других недопустимых извращениях, двойные стандарты на отношение к бисексуальности и би-любопытству, проблемы с репродуктивными правами и возможностями (доступ к услугам суррогатного материнства, создание искусственной утробы и репродуктивная независимость мужчин в целом), целый ряд стран, где запрещена только мужская гомосексуальность, жёсткие рамки для нежной тактильной мужской дружбы и гендерная "мужская коробка" в целом.
