Q: What does the term "abrosexual" mean?
Abrosexuality is a fluid sexual orientation. It means that an individual's attraction towards others can change over time. Similar to genderfluid, but for sexual orientation instead of gender identity. For instance, a person identifying as abrosexual might feel pansexual now, and later experience periods of being asexual or heterosexual. This fluid sexuality is not confined to any particular set of sexual identities, and is sometimes equated to the concept of being genderfluid. You can read more about Abrosexuality in this blog.
Q: What is the significance of the colors on the Abrosexual Pride Flag?
While there isn't a universally accepted interpretation of the Abrosexual Pride Flag's colors, some suggest they might have been selected for their resemblance to a watermelon. This is believed to symbolize the fact that watermelons are 92% water, representing the idea of being "fluid". The flag was actually created in response to a Tumblr user's request for specific colors to be used.
Q: What is the concept and inspiration behind the Proud Cubes Series?
Proud Zebra's founder and designer, Delwin, has a love for geometric designs that comes from his background in Architecture. His goal when designing the Proud Cubes was to make them meaningful and resonate well with our community. Each of the designs is subtle and unique by intention, allowing you to wear it everywhere without outing yourself accidentally.
Till date, we've created 9 designs in the Proud Cubes series, each symbolizing a value that we believe holds true to the LGBTQ+ community. The 9 designs are Signature Cube, Flag Cube, Community Cube, Freedom Cube, Love Cube, Peace Cube, Rubik's Cube, and Medal Cube. You can read more about each of the designs and their meanings in this blog.
Q: Does Proud Zebra give back to the LGBTQ+ community?
A portion of the profit from every sale is donated to our local LGBTQ+ charity organizations. We also have 6 awareness pride pins where 100% of the profits are donated to specific queer charities. From our inception to May 2023, we have donated $2,661.07. We vow to continue to support LGBTQ+ charities and our community. You can read more about our contributions here.
Q: What type of backing is on the pin?
All our pins come with 2 rubber clasp pinbacks, creating a tight fit to secure the pin. Rubber clasps are light in weight, skin-friendly, easy to remove, and held down by friction. Upgrading to a deluxe locking clasp would provide a more secure placement of the pin and keeps the pin in place. A deluxe locking clasp is a safer option if the placement of the pin experiences lots of movement (eg. backpack, scarf, lanyard, keychain). Learn more about our pinbacks in this article.
