"Voyage"
"... artist Chuck Tingley has completed a mural titled "Voyage". The work is featured on the wall of Glow Gallery and In The Loop. The mural was inspired by people’s intrinsic nature to overcome adversity in the face of race and gender bias. The androgynous boater perseveres through life, as he/she is led by the light from a lighthouse that is synonymous with an "inner light." - "Allentown Exploits: A Mural and Windows… Lots of Windows" on  Buffalo Rising, Aug 9, 2014  (online August 2014)



"Voyage"
Note gay pride colors in flags and mural.  The rainbow flag, commonly the gay pride flag and sometimes the LGBT pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements. It has been in use since the 1970s.

Transgender symbol earring:   One version, originating from a drawing by Holly Boswell in 1993, depicts a circle with an arrow projecting from the top-right, as per the male symbol, and a cross projecting from the bottom, as per the female symbol, with an additional striked arrow (combining the female cross and male arrow) projecting from the top-left.
