IRAN’s Lesbian _Lion & Sun_ Revolution Pin _ MADE BY AVIN
A Tribute to Heritage, Identity, and the Sunset of Resistance
This pin marries the historic Lion & Sun (Shir-o-Khorshid)—Iran’s timeless emblem of courage and sovereignty—with the vibrant orange, white, and pink hues of the Lesbian Pride flag. It is a profound tribute to the intersection of ancestral heritage and the fearless pursuit of queer freedom.
More Than an Accessory—A Living Memorial
Created to honor the women and non-binary individuals who have sacrificed their lives in the Iranian revolution, this piece serves as a statement of solidarity. It is a commitment to keeping the names and stories of fallen fighters alive, ensuring that the lesbian and queer voices of the resistance are never erased from history.
