We have now also changed the lesbian pride heart from the all-pink design derived from Natalie McCray's lipstick lesbian flag. We now have two lesbian pride hearts, from Lydia's Sappho-inspired flag and Maya Kern's revision. These flags, the rationale for their creation, and the reasons to stop using McCray's lipstick lesbian design and derivatives can be found in Lydia's Medium post "A Lesbian Flag For Everyone": https://medium.com/@lydiandragon/a-lesbian-flag-for-everyone-cef397b89459

We are not including the pink & orange flag designs that are gaining popularity (sadlesbeandisaster's 7-stripe flag and taqwomen's 5-stripe flag) as they are mashups of McCray's lipstick design with Butch Positivity's (@butchspace@tumblr.com) butch lesbian flag. As they are still clearly derivative of McCray's work they still carry the baggage of the bigotry that people are trying to avoid by abandoning her design in the first place.
