Like this?
Great work on the picture! The proportions look a bit strange when I made it my avatar though. If you could maybe zoom in a bit more, cut out the hands/gloves? Maybe?

Could you get me a link to the flag you want? Or else what colors does it have besides the standard one? (Sorry, I'm not super familiar with all of the different flags.)
Does this look ok?
I wish I had a better selfie to use, but if someone would Prideify mine, I'd love them forever.
Here, this should be square now:
Wow - looks great. Thank you so much!
Looks good thanks a lotCould you get me a link to the flag you want? Or else what colors does it have besides the standard one? (Sorry, I'm not super familiar with all of the different flags.)

Thank you both so much! I'll probably use both throughout the month.
I love the scarf one. Thank you so much!Do these all look ok?
I wasn't super pleased with how the scarf turned out, so I made this version too in case you like it better.
That's perfect, thank you! I know it's something pretty simple but color of the globe kept changing when I copy pasted it for some reason...Sorry bout that, this along the lines of what you want?
The flag image here is "indexed," meaning it has a color pallette that is limited to what it uses. Maybe when you were pasting it also converted the globe to a color in its index? Just an idea.
If that was the cause you would fix it (in Photoshop) by going to Image > Mode > RBG on the flag before altering anything.

Oh really? I've just been pasting the flag into other images, so I guess I never noticed that. My bad.
Didn't stop me from making a handful of avatar adjustments so it's all good.

Woops, sorry didn't see this until now. I tried one with the hair, and then did a full overlay as well, does one of them look ok?

My company is trying to make an event out of pride month the last 2 years and we had a planning meeting today. There's an inherent awkwardness of having a Pride based event where attendance is more or less expected from everyone in a population that is primarily straight/cis.
I tried to explain that because of this it would be good to use it as an opportunity to educate straight people about LGBT issues without putting the burden on people within the LGBT community. A couple of people proposed an activity where people write on a post card that either says "I am a straight ally because..." or "I need straight allies because..." and then talk about what they wrote with other people. I had to walk it back and explain to everyone that we can't just ask people to identify themselves as part of the LGBT community or ask them to share their personal experiences (not to mention how terrible of a question it is to have someone explain why they need allies, but I didn't touch on that).
Interesting stuff. Happy pride month everyone!

I dunno how to go about it, but I would appreciate it if someone made my dear Byakuya proud! All of you doing this work are incredible people and I love you already!

Thank you both, so much! For now, I'm gonna go with the one made by Fantomas, because I love the idea of physically wearing a symbol of pride. Thank you once again!
