Credited by the LGBTA Wiki upload with the design of a seven stripe heteroqueer flag. Pride-Flags credits the design to /u/_PotaTARDIS_ instead. Little biographical information is available for either name.
Attribution notes
Attribution is disputed between two sources. The LGBTA Wiki upload of December 16, 2020 by Fandom user Homesick Moonstone credits Gayer9000 and describes the design as a simplified version of the original heteroqueer flag. Publishing the design on April 4, 2021, the DeviantArt account Pride-Flags credits it instead to Reddit user /u/_PotaTARDIS_ and links to r/QueerVexillology. [1] Neither account has been corroborated, and the earlier of the two is not necessarily the better founded.

Lineage
- Related flags
- Straight Queer Pride Flag
Catalogued in the identity wikis alongside the other flags for this label, and described there as a simplified version of the heteroqueer flag from the Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags blog. No source records the designer working from that flag, so the relationship is recorded as related rather than as descent.
Colors & Symbolism
No creator-authored stripe meanings have been located. The design is one of several flags proposed for the Straight Queer and Heteroqueer label; no source records what its sequence was intended to mean, and none is inferred here from the differently constructed Mod AP designs.

Cited previously for this design. The deviation at this address is a different flag: measured from its own 5000 by 3000 file it carries five stripes, #4D8592, #6DCB99, #717E6D, #D8C686 and #B86962, and its description names neither Gayer9000 nor Homesick Moonstone. Retained as documentation of the Straight Queer label rather than of this artwork.
