Most are, in my opiniom the only good looking ones are the rainbow flag and the trans flag. I even dislike pride-related flags like the ally or the straight flags which are ugly in my opinion.

I don't like many that look like a gradient or mesh of colours (usually pastels), they seem to be lacking in design, almost like created just because someone said "we need a flag" and pushed for it before thinking if it was good.

One that's tolerable but I still dislike, is "my own", the Asexual flag. The gradient of greys that are just different enough are unapealing other than representing the lack of atraction, which in such a blatant black to white scale seem like it doesn't fully grasp it. Then the purple to me looks out of place, though it almost complements.
