I made an emotional support chicken for my daughter's friend. She's beginning to come out, so I tried to incorporate the lesbian flag into it, is it too subtle?
To be honest didn't know there was a specific flag for lesbians so Its subtle enough no one would know unless they were looking for it or in the know. It looks great by the way! Hope you remain a strong ally and make sure that girl has someone to talk to. Not everyone's family is nice or supporting, having at least one person on your side is huge :)
Give it to her and be like, "Don't be chicken and come out of the closet!" Badum tsss! Seriously though, it is gorgeous and adding the flag was a nice touch. She's going to love it. Very thoughtful and very well done ❤️
My dad just died on Friday and man an emotional support chicken sounds like exactly what the doctor would order if there was a prescription for a heartache. Well done!
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find a little emotional support chicken of your own, and I hope your heart will mend beautifully to store all the good memories of your dad.
I'm sorry you are going through such a loss right now. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself in the next few weeks. It's so hard to deal with grief and take care of all the details and family at the same time.

What a beautiful gesture!

Did you intentionally make it look like the chicken ramen noodle cup pattern?

I had to bone up on lesbian pride flags, to be honest. You hit it just right. Did you make this free hand or from a pattern? It's absolutely awesome.

@OP how does one go about getting an emotional support chicken as I sure could use one hell I think we could all use a support chicken!
torokunai
giving stuffed animals to people who 'need' emotional support animals might work, yes

There’s a lesbian flag? Huh. Didn’t know that. Well, good on you then.

There's a flag for every orientation and sub-orientation. Here's a small part of these: https://www.hrc.org/resources/lgbtq-pride-flags

Thanks. I’m pretty sure I’ll still be asking my gay and lesbian friends which one is which at the Pride Parade though.

We asexuals have a lot of different flags. Have fun recognising them all!

That is absolutely amazing.

So sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is hard, both mine are gone, but I’m pretty old now too. Sending an Internet hug

I saw that but I don't know how to crochet or knit. I never learned and been meaning to but that requires me to start yet another hobby XD
