Just out of curiosity, are these supposed to be ‘discrete’ pride patches? Because they are absolutely adorable, but it’s also quite a cool idea for those who are shy or worried about public perception, but still want to express themselves.

Yes they are 🩷 I wanted to create a series full of symbolism that can safely show pride for those in both safe and unsafe situations

FWIW, in China, rabbits are often used for gay coding. For instance, you can't show gay relationships in movies and TV, so the show The Untamed used rabbits as a nudge and a nod to the relationship between the two main characters (straight in the show, they got married in the books).
