Coexist with Respect Gay Pride Ceramic Ornament

This original, copyrighted design was inspired by the very popular bumper sticker that uses various symbols to spell out the word "Coexist" by using the same concept to produce what I think is an even deeper message. In this design, I used the Earth in the letter "R", the female symbol for the first "e", the yin yang symbol of Taoism for the "s", the peace sign for the "p", the male symbol for the second "e", the Muslim crescent with the Jewish star in the centre for the "c", followed by the Christian cross for the "t". No symbols from Hindu or Buddhism were used because the design itself speaks to the heart of Buddhist teachings. Symbolically, it could be translated as "Respect, for Earth and the people of Earth, with peace and harmony between men and women of all religions through compassion, tolerance and kindness."
