GayPride

What does GayPride mean?

GayPride is a heart in rainbow stripes. It is the general pride flag as an emote: identity, a pride raid, a creator's community, June, or just the correct heart for the moment. It is not bleedPurple. Purple is Twitch. The rainbow is the flag. More specific flags have their own hearts, and those are better when you mean that flag.

Origin

Twitch added the pride-heart globals so chat could fly a flag without hoping the channel had drawn one. GayPride is the rainbow. BisexualPride, LesbianPride, TransgenderPride, and the rest are the specific ones. Use the specific heart when you know it.

When to use GayPride

• Pride events and channels that are explicitly for it
• A generic pride reaction when no narrower flag is the point
• Alongside the other pride hearts when chat is posting the set
• Not as a random color accent on a gameplay message
