Here in the LGBTQIA+ community, we have over 100+ flags that define us in different ways; but there's a downside to this. There are many "flags" that individuals use to make it seem like they're part of the community, like pedophiles and zoophiles.

Barlosexual/Barloromantic

Barlosexual “Flag”

Barlosexual or Barloromantic is used by zoophiles that have an attraction to bees. Zoophiles use this to make it seem like they're part of the LGBTQIA+ community.


Incestsexual/Incestromantic
