The BDSM Rights Flag is intended to represent the belief that people whose
sexuality or relationship preferences include Bondage and Discipline,
Dominance and Submission, or Sadism and Masochism ("BDSM") deserve
the same human rights as everyone else, and should not be discriminated
against for pursuing BDSM with consenting adults.
The flag is inspired by the Leather Pride Flag and Quagmyr's BDSM Emblem,
but is specifically intended to represent the concept of BDSM Rights and
to be without the other symbols' restrictions against commercial use.
It's designed to be
recognisable by people familiar with either the Leather Pride Flag or
BDSM Triskelion (or Triskele) as "something to do with BDSM"; and to be
distinctive whether reproduced in full colour, or in black and white (or
another pair of colours.) See our
Other Symbols page for a discussion of
the various BDSM and Leather emblems.
If you support the above statement on human rights and anti-discrimination,
you may use the BDSM Rights Flag design on your own websites, publications,
T-shirts, mugs, whatever
- whether for personal use or for commercial gain.
We believe that BDSM vendors, event organisers and publishers are an
important part of the various BDSM communities, and that anything they do
which publicises the idea of BDSM Rights should be encouraged. You do not
need to ask our permission to use the design or the image files we make
available.
Using the BDSM Rights Flag image and explaining what it means promotes
the idea of BDSM Rights. We have
free prebuilt flag images, and a live flag maker program to create custom
images for you to use.
On a website or a
publication, the best way to publicise BDSM Rights is to link to or
reproduce the address
www.bdsmrights.com which directs people to our main page, and its
list of BDSM Rights campaigns and organisations.
In particular, we have a standard 480x60 banner that you're welcome
to use to link to BDSMrights.com.
You can save the following premade images for your own use - including
commercial use. In most browsers, just click on the image and then choose
Save As from your File menu.
You can also use the BDSM Rights Flag maker to
make custom images with your own choice of size and colours.
