“”feygele” term reclaimed flag

a flag for Queer Jewish people who reclaim the term “feygele” (or one of its other many spellings) The center symbol is a pink magen david whose points are made up of separated triangles (symbols that evoke the pink triangle forced upon gay individuals during the holocaust & which has been since reclaimed by the queer community tying together both Jewishness and Queerness here). Within that symbol is a light pink, almost white, little bird. feygele can also mean “little bird” in Yiddish. The background is a pink “rainbow” of stripes. Though the term feygele has historically been used in a derogatory way particularly toward gay Jewish people, some queer Jewish people have since reclaimed the term for themselves. Because of this influx of Jewish folks of all parts of the LGBTQIA+ community reclaiming this term to describe themselves, including myself, I thought it would be nice to make an attempt at creating a flag for it. (Though you don’t need to use the flag to reclaim it, obviously)

disclaimer: exclusive to Queer Jewish people.
goyim and cishet people can reblog, but please don’t use this flag if you’re not jewish and queer!”
