Influence
This flag was posted 37.5 hours after the Dawn Lesbian Flag, both taking inspiration from the same two flags.
This flag was chosen by in polls by official-lesbian-flag.tumblr.com to be their “official” flag. They also showed a variant made by Tumblr user taqwomen. They included a source to that work, but the page is gone. I suspect taqwomen deleted their blog and a new person has it, or they changed focus after Tumblr’s adult content band and deleted all their posts but one new one.
