The image features a flag with a unique design, combining elements of the Pride flag and the transgender pride flag. The flag has a series of horizontal stripes in the traditional rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Additionally, there is a black, brown, and light blue diagonal stripe pattern on the left side, representing the transgender pride flag. The flag is waving against a backdrop of a blue sky with scattered white clouds.
At the top of the image, there is text in bold, white capital letters that reads: "THINK OF ME AS THE POLE." Below the flag, there is more text in the same style, stating: "I'M NOT PART OF THE FLAG, BUT I AM STRAIGHT AND I WILL SUPPORT YOU." The text is positioned to be easily readable against the flag and sky background.
