Intersex & Bi-Sexual Flag - Yin & Yang of Body and Mind

Bi-sexual Pride Flag

Much of the world is familiar with the Rainbow Flag as being associated with Gay Pride. One generational line is that Generation X - can remember a time when Rainbows were used for kids and Noah's Ark only. If you can remember a time when rainbows were not associated with gay people then you were born after Generation X. You may be a part of Generation Y or I (Generation I can not remember a time before the INTERNET).

However within this 'Rainbow Nation' there are other types of 'transgendered' flags. One being the Bi-sexual flag, and the other being the Intersex flag. The Intersex flag has six stripes arranged horizontally. There are tree pink stripes, two white stripes, and one blue stripe.

The Bi-sexual Pride flag is typically a horizontal tri-bar. It has blue on the bottom and red-pink up top. In the middle is a thinner purple stripe.

Usually gay people are attracted to their own gender. But there are some people in the who seem to have one foot in the gay community and another in straight community. Many people, gay and straight, can not wrap their heads around these so called 'switch hitters.' Apparently being gay or straight for bi-sexual people is a choice.

In a similar tone the intersex flag uses the colours pink and blue. It has six stripes - three pink, two white and one blue. The fourth and third stripe are merged, this symbolically indicates that this personal has both male and female tissues.

Intersex Flag

The intersex are sort of like unicorns, but are not imaginary!

The intersex vary in degrees of a mixed gender. At one end there are men who grow mammary tissue - Gynecomastia.

At the other end there are people who develop both male and female reproductive organs in varying degrees. In the previous millennium these real life XX-Men & XY Women were kept hidden from the public spotlight, due fear and shame. But recently, these people born in between a male and female gender are speaking up.

Society is less judgmental towards intersex people - since they were made that way. But with bi-sexual people, it is a tougher nut to crack since this issue is seemingly behavioral.

"The Intersex" may be the ace of spades for the Gay Pride Movement

Judgement Day - May 21 2011?

May 21, 2011
Red, Blue, Green Guidon Flags

Recently a group under the leadership of Harold Camping has made its name known in media and across billboards of America. This group firmly believes that the Biblical Prophecy of Judgement Day will manifest on May 21, 2011 - in less than three weeks.

They have made many fliers, broadsides, and posters foretelling of this event. Two of designs have caught my eye since they feature flags. One design features eight long trumpets with guidons hanging along the horn. These flags are essentially guidons of a solid colour - either red, blue, or green.

Internet Broadside with
"official" national Flags

In another Internet-broadside uses the flags of actual nations. Starting in the front is the red banner socialism, then Belgium, then Jamaica, then Canada, then a white flag (which could be Israel, Japan, Korea, Cyprus), followed by a Nigerian Flag, and finally a unknown blue flag. Does this mean that these nations will have a special role on Judgement Day, or was it all random?

Instead of simply announcing that the end times are approaching this message goes out of its way to cross out 2012. This makes no sense.

Groups like this has come and gone, and certainly will come again. These doomsday holy writ end is near phenomena demonstrate the power of holy scripture over the human mind. It is powerful force that commands my respect and evokes a heart felt response. They offer us an introspective account on our purpose here on Earth. They make me wonder about the meaning of life and the infinite dimensions all around us.

In my judgment this group has an imbalance of intuition over logic - via too much intuition and not enough logic. In any case on May 21, 2011- many people will ponder the meaning of life, which is good.

Essentially my feeling about this group and groups of this nature is or - Click Link YOUTUBE

May Day! May Day! Osama is Out!

May is Taurus Month

The flag of Uri

'Swiss State'

Taurus the bull is the lead in sign for the month of May. In honor of this bullish season when things are growing and natural abundance is all around we have the bull.

For stock investors a bullish market is no bull. In corporate investor universe they use metaphors of the bull and bear. When the industrial averages go up they call it a bull market, likewise Taurus the Bull occurs in springtime when Mother Nature expands her production line.

The Yin and Yang of a Stock Market :BEAR vs BULL
Frankfort Stock Market - Germany

On the other hand, a Bear Market does not necessarily imply a bunch of husky, seasoned, and well groomed single men - who dress well.

A Bear Market is subconsciously related to the phenomena of hibernation, and the onset of autumn. Bears eat a lot of food in order to prepare for the long hard winter. Thus when the stock market averages seem to be shrinking and the economy slows (sort of like Fall) - they call it a bear market.

The association of the Bull and Taurus with a rising stock market coincidentally aligns with the awakening of spring. But this is a biased Northern Hemepherian perspective. May for South Hemesphrites is not associated with a revival of life but rather the peaceful downsizing of Autumn.

Royal Wedding - Prince William and Princess Kate

It happened yesterday! In honor of these regal event, a British Wedding portrait flag was printed.

Basically its the flag of the United Kingdom with a portrait of Prince William and now, Princess Kate.

Willow Grove Park Flag and John Sousa

Willow Grove Park Flag
the conductor is supposed to be Sousa

Willow Grove Park just outside of Philadelphia. Originally it was a classic Victorian Park. Later John Sousa made it his home stage, and favorite gig to play at. John Sousa is the musician responsible for the patriotic core of American Marching Band Music.

John Sousa was originally born in DC, and as a child was witness to the Civil War, no doubt this played a formative role on young "Johnny Patriot" Sousa.

Not only was Sousa a part of the conservative establishment, he also lived the American dream with a career that spanned Circus (before TV & Hollywood). On the other end, Sousa also became chair of the US Marine Corps band.

Today, Willow Grove Park has lost much her Marching Band-Victorian luster. Willow Grove is now an elegant three storied shopping mall. But the legacy of John Philip Sousa lives on.

One last piece of the heyday Victorian musical park atmosphere has been preserved - the Merry Go Round. At the entrance to Willow Grove Park's Carousel Entrance fly three flags - the US Flag, Pennsylvania State Flag, and Willow Grove Park Flag.

Flag of Pernambuco

The flag of Pernambuco of Brazil is appropriate for today, since its Easter Sunday 2011.

Brazil has 26 states with one capital district. Pernambuco is a Brazilian State below the equator and on the East Coastline that faces Africa, rather than the North Coast that faces the Caribbean.

The flag of Pernambuco is a horizontally divided flag, with the upper half slightly larger. The bottom half is white, centered on it is a simple red cross. The upper half features a dark blue sky with a simple red-yellow-green rainbow. Below the rainbow is a yellow sun and above it is a yellow star.

Famous Jesus Statue in Brazil

Brazil is already famous famous for the largest statue of Jesus, but that is in Rio de Janeiro.

In any case,
Happy Easter
