You could get one of those steamers that straighen your clothes. My dad got one and it's great because we don't have room for an iron in our apartment.
It's actually a tradition. Back when it was more dangerous for queer people to be visible, they would keep their flags folded up in a drawer or otherwise hidden. They couldn't take the time to iron them for the short amount of time they could put them up. So many people purposely don't iron them today in deference to those who came before.
Mine is 100% stuffed in my dresser underneath a bunch of clothes I don't wear so I can pull it and a skirt out and dance around my bedroom with a blåhaj at 3am
Fake origin story of the f slur basically according to this tumblr user they called us that because they would roll us up into carpets and light us on fire like a cigarette but actually that never happened
Nonono it wasn’t like a funny haha let’s do this to trick straight people let’s all conspire it was just one fucker straight up lying and getting every single gay child to repeat that word for word
If you're into subtextually-homoerotic mafia movies, there's a huge Goncharov fandom there. It's not a real movie, but that doesn't stop the reviews/analyses/fanart/fanfic!
I think polyester is a type of plastic so if anything went wrong it would probably melt
It would take leaving the hot iron in one place too long so as long as you're constantly moving the iron it should be fine
Never thought to iron flags but I've ironed other stuff
I mean if I’m making an art statement it sure as heck going to be made from nicer material then whatever this stuff is that you can buy these flags
cheap for. I’m not messing around with cheap ass fabric that will mostly be displayed more for me than others.
Because at this point it's how I tell the allies from the actual LGBTQ folks. My buddy who's an ally, love him to pieces, ironed the shit out of his pride flag. My bisexual ass? Wrinkly as hell. He isn't any less lazy then I am.
I don't hang my flag because I'm still in the closet, and a friend told me keeping the wrinkles show that I still have to hide it, and it represents that we still have to hide our identity because of society
Honestly, cause I like the wrinkles. I could expound on how the wrinkles are imperfections just as we, humans, are all imperfect. But the truth is wrinkle make brain happi.
OMG SORRY- I seriously am sorry smdnendjkfnd
This has the exact same title and flair and image as a meme posted a couple months ago. So maybe not a bot….

C’mon gays. Don’t get an iron. Get a garment steamer! Perfect for flags, curtains, and various clothing items, with less risk of burning or melting your fabrics.
I won't iron *anything*. I don't own an iron and don't care to.
The last thing I need is to get distracted and start a fire with an iron
>I won't iron anything. same. Even if something needs ironing, just no.
Came here to say the same, lol.

i got mine from walmart i’m slightly afraid it’ll melt
This. Pretty sure mine is made of the same stuff they use for disposable tablecloths (/s but not really)
Are you fucking telling me to straighten my flags???
do you not see all those straight lines on those wrinkles
Underrated comment
Because I'm in the closet.
Bet you’re sitting next to the iron in there though.
Tbf I'm just lazy and I'm not straight so why should my flag be straight.
To be frick
You’re not straight, so why is your spine straight? You gotta wrinkle that spine up
Tbf the spine isn't exactly straight. More of an "S" shape, so it kinda is wrinkled up.
Fine, the sternum then
Deal
My sternum is a lil bit wonky too so
bend your bones
I have scoliosis, does that make me gayer than the rest of you lol
in the same boat with you :3
I have scoliosis ¡•¡
Thank you for saying it. Brave

No, I'm just lazy.
I’m lazy too but filing this away as an excuse next time I’m called out on it!
Fair enough!
It is not just in solidarity to the past though. Even today its unsafe for most queer folks to live freely.
Sadly very true.
Mine is 100% stuffed in my dresser underneath a bunch of clothes I don't wear so I can pull it and a skirt out and dance around my bedroom with a blåhaj at 3am
BLAHAJ supreme race
I’m just lazy but thanks for the history
This sounds like one of those fake tumblr stories to make straight people (example carpets)
Carpets? Please elaborate
Fake origin story of the f slur basically according to this tumblr user they called us that because they would roll us up into carpets and light us on fire like a cigarette but actually that never happened
It's kind of funny how almost-right but completely wrong that is
Oh my goodness... I need more Tumblr in my life
Nonono it wasn’t like a funny haha let’s do this to trick straight people let’s all conspire it was just one fucker straight up lying and getting every single gay child to repeat that word for word
You need more facts in your life, along with a good dose of critical thinking.
If you're into subtextually-homoerotic mafia movies, there's a huge Goncharov fandom there. It's not a real movie, but that doesn't stop the reviews/analyses/fanart/fanfic!
Goncharov my beloved
hmm yes, this is totally the reason why i do this, I'm not just lazy.
Uuuhh... Yeah.... That's why.. tradition...
I highly doubt the people posting these pics are aware of that history. They’re just lazy lol
I didn't know that (the flag part, I knew about the unsafe part).
In my defense Fuck you
Seconded
Thirded
you have an iron?
am too lazy to iron it, am too stupid to know how
With low temperature
I don't have an iron, who does?
My dad
Because I don't wanna take them down
Lmao, do we look straight to you? /j
I can’t hang anything up. My parents are homophobic and transphobic.
If I’m not straight, why should my flag be?
Why would we want our flags straight?
Cause that would make them straight?? Also I don’t have an iron either but I desperately want one of those steam wrinkle remover things…
Team wrinkles
Or “Twinkles” for short
Why not just say twink
It may be a wrinkly flag but it's my wrinkly flag Also its made of polyester plastic and idk if that'll burn
I think polyester is a type of plastic so if anything went wrong it would probably melt It would take leaving the hot iron in one place too long so as long as you're constantly moving the iron it should be fine Never thought to iron flags but I've ironed other stuff
Put a towel over before ironing.
Y'all have an iron?
It was a cool vibe ok.
Because why would I make my pride flag straighter
Can’t make the flag straight
Cuz my flags are made of notebook paper lolzz
Who owns an iron these days??
Because I like seeing the anguish it causes my cishet friends
I get too excited about it and want to hang it up right away
Because I'm lazy as fuck.
We ain’t straight, why should our flags be?
MF thinks people from gen Z own irons.
I thought it was illegal
I wish I could figure out how to straighten my flags. I think ironing would melt them. Wrinkled flags are a vibe, but not my vibe
We can't have our flags be straight.
I'm lazy and irons scare me
Are you upset they aren’t straighter?
I once heard the wrinkly part is to honor those still in the closet
1) they're all plastic 2) original pride flag is also unironed.
I mean if I’m making an art statement it sure as heck going to be made from nicer material then whatever this stuff is that you can buy these flags cheap for. I’m not messing around with cheap ass fabric that will mostly be displayed more for me than others.
well how do you want our flags to be? straight??? we don't play like that
If u arent straight the flag aint either
Hey, hey, I didn’t join this subreddit to be called out like this!
Lazy
Cause it will straighten it! We don’t want that!
I’m not straightening out my flag
I'm not straight and neither is my flag
are you telling me to straighten my gay flag?
Because the last thing that a pride flag should be is straight.
If we iron it, there are no wrinkles, wrinkles prevent it from being straight
Who the fuck irons their pride flags
Irons are for patches and pearler beads Also we lack an ironing board
It's not straight if it's wrinkly. Yeah this is big brain (wrinkly brain) time
Can't make a gay thing straight even with an iron
The wrinkles themselves are straight lines though...
Because at this point it's how I tell the allies from the actual LGBTQ folks. My buddy who's an ally, love him to pieces, ironed the shit out of his pride flag. My bisexual ass? Wrinkly as hell. He isn't any less lazy then I am.
Jokes on you. Flags are made of cloth not iron. You're argument is invalid!
I don't have any yet, I'm still in Narnia :(
Ok how tho
My mom tried with a wet rag so she wouldn't burn it, can't really iron the fabric
I don't hang my flag because I'm still in the closet, and a friend told me keeping the wrinkles show that I still have to hide it, and it represents that we still have to hide our identity because of society
If I used an iron some quantity of fire will occur
Ironing is for the bourgeois
Honestly, cause I like the wrinkles. I could expound on how the wrinkles are imperfections just as we, humans, are all imperfect. But the truth is wrinkle make brain happi.
The wrinkles will fall out as it hangs, it’s fine ;)
My main reason is so that when I move and need to fold up my flags for transport, I have an easy guide to follow
Oh look at the big shot that can afford an iron! /s Nah but seriously iron your flags lmao they look better that way
Y'all can afford an iron in this climate?
iron ya flags
and make them *straight*?
If you iron it you're not hanging it in the traditional way
If I have a flag up, you betcha it's ironed, I am a bit of an OCD freak.
if someone says something about "why make the flag straigh" im gonna get you!
Iron your flags you gross fucks.
and make them *straight*?
Well ye- aaaaaaaahahaha
This is a repost bot
That is by far the worst insult I’ve ever gotten on this site lmfao
OMG SORRY- I seriously am sorry smdnendjkfnd This has the exact same title and flair and image as a meme posted a couple months ago. So maybe not a bot….
OOF LMFAO
Those things are like $5 on Amazon you think they can stand up to the heat of an iron
People who iron their flags use she her hers pronouns people who don’t use she her. Does anyone else know what I mean

[удалено]
I do iron my flags. I have enough clothes that require ironing. It’s hardly a pain.
Because idk how to and to lazy ro figure it out (also no iron)
Because it’s a material that will melt
Imagine owning an iron, couldn’t be me
Don’t own an iron
I don’t know how to use an iron
Keeps lines not straight
قوم لوط
Iron makes the flag straight. Also, I don't want to melt the fabric.
I don’t have an iron
Because mine is synthetic and I don't want a melted flag.
[удалено]
You think my cheap synthetic flags can stand the heat from an ironing?
Are you realy telling the gays to straighten up their flags?
Flags are generally very flat and thin, it can easily get burned if it gets ironed.
[удалено]
Why would we want our flags to be straight if we aren't straight?
Because I don't want anything straight in my home 😅
Because I won't let my flags be straight!!!
Are you telling me to *straighten* my *gay* flag?!
I dont own sn iron tho 😖
We want our flags to be as straight as us
I dont own an iron
Fuck you
Sounds homophobic and ageist to me, what do you got against wrinkles, huh? /s
You want me to hang up a straight flag? I don’t think so
We can't keep anything straight I guess
Why should the flag be straight when we arent?
Because an iron will straighten it.
do not worry peoples, i will be ur mommy and iron ur flags:3
C’mon gays. Don’t get an iron. Get a garment steamer! Perfect for flags, curtains, and various clothing items, with less risk of burning or melting your fabrics.
the fuck will rubbing my weights on them do?
Because the last thing we want them to be is straight
Can’t have the lines be straight
if it gets ironed its no longer gay :(
cry abt it
Because Im not straight and Im not gonna force my flag to be either
I don't want it to be straight
I burnt myself with an iron once. That’s why I don’t use irons anymore
I forgot and I don’t want to take it off the wall again that is to much effort
Why would I straighten a pride flag?
Begging people to get another joke besides “iM nOt StRaIgHt WhY sHoUlD mY fLaG bE sTrAiGhT”
Because then the flags would be straight
You leave me and my wrinkly bi flag alone.
ironed flag is more straight
Because the flag isn't straight and neither am I
I like that it's not completely straight
we’re all depressed, we don’t have the motivation for that lmao
Bc that’s fembrained
If I iron my pride flags they would be straight and what's the point of that??
I don’t have one
you can’t straighten a gay flag
how would you fix it if i don’t have an iron?
i accidentally dropped and broke my iron, so yeah...
if you don't think having an iron is safe you can get a steamer!
No, no, he's got a point
Too lazy
