Flag
The flag was coined by a user going by Adora on December 22nd, 2020. Dark grey represents people one sees daily, medium grey represents people one sees weekly or monthly, light grey represents people one sees yearly, and greyish-white represents people one sees with no set schedule. The two message boxes represent speaking and interacting, while the line inbetween represents how the relationship isnt deeper than that. The rainbow represents the LGBTQ+ community, and how the flag should only be used by people within it (asocial, aplatonic, anamical, etc).
