BDSM Rights Flag (2005, Tanos)

Leather / Kink / BDSM Subculture Flag · 2005

A nine-stripe flag designed by Tanos, an anonymous UK-based practitioner, in 2005. The stripe pattern replicates Tony DeBlase's 1989 Leather Pride Flag (alternating black, blue, and white) but replaces the red heart with a modified BDSM triskelion emblem centered on the flag. The triskelion itself was originally designed by Steve 'Quagmyr' (~1994-95 on AOL); Tanos used a deliberately modified version to fall outside Quagmyr's copyright claim. The entry distinguishes between two separate attributions: Quagmyr as the emblem originator and Tanos as the flag designer. [BDSM-S1][BDSM-S2]
