"Y'All Means All" Flags

When a folk singer/song writer named John McCutcheon released a song titled "Y'all Means All" little did he know it would become a slogan that popularized a movement. His lyrics tell how his grandmother called his family into dinner by saying "Y'all come in, And y'all means all of you." By tapping into something Southerners all have pride in - the phrase y'all - the down-home country message has become a reminder that an inclusive community is really for everyone, not just one type of person. The use of the phrase caught on and began to spread.

The phrase has been adopted by a Madison County (Illinois) organization called "Rural Organizing and Resilience" (ROAR) which is dedicated to educating the mountain community on the impacts of racism, poverty and bigotry. ROAR sponsors an annual fund raiser to bail women of color from local jails around Mother's Day. They have led peaceful gatherings honoring the victims of racial violence on the courthouse steps in Marshall and engaged in difficult conversations on white supremacy and Confederate symbols with white audiences.

These particular Texas flags are reportedly being used by Flags for Good to help support Equality Texas, a leading advocacy organization defending the rights of LGBTQ Texans against attack, claiming tens of thousands of members across the state. They work to secure full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Texans through political action, education, community organizing, and collaboration.
