The Flag of Equal Marriage

Carl Tashian has emailed me to alert you all to a marriage equality flag they created.

This is a protest flag for equal marriage rights in the United States. The flag only has two stars, for Connecticut and Massachusetts (the 5th and 6th states in the union), the only states with legalized gay marriage.

The idea is based on the suffragists who created their own US flag with only four stars, representing the four states that allowed women to vote, they added stars as states started to grant voting rights.

The designer will add stars as more states enact equal marriage rights. All proceeds from products sold off the website will benefit Marriage Equality USA. There are also more graphics and icons that can be used for free.
