This is pretty popular in Portland, Oregon’s queer community

Do people actually do this??? Well I know that the gay boys started this back in the day and it’s not super popular among lesbians now days, however the inspiration for this blog happened when I saw several very butch women “flaggin” at the clubs. Maybe it was just a fashion statement? Maybe it was just my hopeful imagination that made me think they were looking for a good time?

But yes, some people do actually do this, mostly in the BDSM scene though, I think.

hmm. i thought the hanky code is only for gay men?!

if not… damn! last few times i saw a hot butch girl with her bandanas, but she had hers at various spots (like pocket, around the neck, on wrist)… and what colour they were.

It’s not a LESBIAN hanky code, it’s just A hanky code. Gay men started it long long ago. Now a days, even heteros use it. The colours are pretty consistent regardless of gender or attraction.
Also, other subcultures want in on the act:

Imagine a Granny Hanky Code. What’s the code for “pinches cheeks”?

Here in Philly, some wear them just because. Oh, and Color doesn’t signify anything. P.S. It’s been 10 L-o-n-g Days. When will you blog again. You’re an everyday addiction !

Hmmm, I have never seen this before. Maybe this is more of an LA thing? I need to go out and do some research

oh shit, who knew that bandanas meant anything? i usually go with a black one in my right pocket, but it actually means “i’m left handed so my wallet’s in my left pocket so this guy’s gotta go on the right and i just like black bandanas.”

Allow me to recount the colors I have in my closet and see what said colors reveal about my sexual proclivities:
Black, Grey, Charcoal, Blue Robin’s Egg, Blue Navy, Dark Red, Light Pink… In short, I’m a whore up for anything. Yeah, that’s about right

I’ve seen a few women do this at clubs, usually butch women. But how do i know they’re flaggin and not just making a fashion statement?

I can always count on you to bring me the perversity of lesbian culture. Does anyone really do this?

What about wearing your keys in your front pocket? i heard if you wear it in your front left pocket you’re looking to take someone home. If in your right, you’re looking to be taken back to someone’s home. Or something like that.
