Rainbow Double Mars Stick Flag 12" X 18

Two interlocked male symbols over rainbow stripes: this double Mars flag from Flags Importer is a long-recognised way to show gay male pride, mounted on a 24-inch wooden dowel you can carry all afternoon. At 12" × 18" it's big enough to wave at a march and still small enough to prop on a bookshelf afterwards.

The symbol on the double Mars flag

The Mars sign, a circle with an arrow, has stood for the male sex in astronomy and biology for centuries. Doubled and linked, it became shorthand for men who love men and has appeared on badges, banners and flags for decades. Setting it on the rainbow ties that specific identity to the broader LGBTQ+ community.

Carrying it at Pride

A 12" × 18" flag is the classic parade size: light enough to hold up for a whole route, large enough that the symbol reads from the curb. The dowel is thin, a quarter inch across, so it rolls easily in your hand and slips into a backpack side pocket. Hold it tip-up in a crowd; the plastic spear on top is decorative but pointed.

At home and in between events

Off the street, it fits a pen jar on a desk, a planter on the balcony or a slot between books. If it's been rained on, unroll it and let it dry before storing it rolled around the stick, which keeps creases out of the print.
