==Flag==
The familial attraction flag was coinedcreated by a user going by Alex on December 21st21, 2020. The black represents familial attraction unrelated to oneself, the light blue represents compassion, the medium blue represents loyalty, greyish-blue represents kindness, and dark blue represents memories. The raindrop shape is supposed to be a play on the 'blood is thicker than water' quote,; however, the rainbow inside it represents diversity and how family is more than just DNA. The rainbow also represents familial bonds within the LGBTQIA+ community. The flag is made to be used only by familial bonds within the LGBTQIA+ community.
The second flag was added by a user going by Snotdrips on January 17, 2022. The colors represent the same things as the original, the white being a mix of all colors of the rainbow.
