The "horizon futch" flag or "all-inclusive" futch flag was created by pridewiki on or before December 23, 2020.<ref>https://kenochoric.tumblr.com/post/638345628171337728/horizon-futch-an-all-inclusive-futch-flag-no</ref> Purple represents the inclusion of all futches, including POC, disabled, fat, [[Gender Non-Conforming|GNC]], and all other futches. Blue represents the butch and femme roots and history. Futch has roots from both, but it is also it’s own whole identity. Green represents support for femmes, butches, other futches, and the wider community. Yellow represents inclusivity and tolerance. Orange represents autonomy and independence. Red represents futch history and culture. Red-pink represents LGBTQ+ history. |
