Queer quiz

I've made it to queer club three months in a row now! D was able to come along this time and I'm so glad he found it as enjoyable and friendly as I do and as I hoped he would.

This time we did a pub-style quiz (USians call this "trivia"). There was a page of lesser-known pride flags we had to identify (demisexual, polysexual, bear...it was my first time seeing a pup flag but I guessed right away what it was!) which also included the flag of the Netherlands as a joke at the end (I think it's way funnier that three separate people asked if that was the flag of France -- I said I know that's the Netherlands but I only know this because of Eurovision, which may be the gayest way to learn flags).

Our table came in joint second, despite being so abominable at the music round. Even when most of the artists and song titles were named at the end they didn't mean anything to me. Except one: I guessed Indigo Girls after ten seconds of what turned out to be "Constant Craving" by kd lang! Just shows how bad I was at being a lesbian I was in the 90s!

France and the Netherlands have totally different colors, though!

The pup flag was flying outside that "oldest gay bar" in Brussels. I think there's a photo in our holiday snaps of it above my head.

Well done to your team, even with the abysmal performance in the music round. Something-something definitely queer enough to be at that club?

Was the pup flag a SWAG[1] or did you deploy some logic?
