[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8680553, member: 6802951"] There may be a little push-back about calling it the Elven Pride flag rather than the Elven LGBTQ+ Flag. Pride in our world originates from riots and demonstrations of LGBTQ+ against a society that refused to recognise them, or even actively discriminated against them. Even where the parades are accepted today, there is a strong sense of commemoration of the events where society changed, and remembrance of victims from when society didn't. It sounds like the LGBTQ+ community in your elven setting is, and always has been accepted by the Elven society. Thus the Revelry would lack the sense of rebellion and defiance than some may feel make Pride events, Pride. Player character Elves have the capability to look like whatever the player chooses, right up to being indistinguishable from a very masculine (or feminine) Human or Dwarf for example. However it is worth noting that by the rules, an elf that chooses to change physical gender is still recognisable as the [I]same [/I]elf. Whether that means that many elves do not have extreme dimorphism, or that a very masculine male elf changes to a similarly very masculine-looking female elf etc is up to the player and the DM.
