The Genderfluid Pride Flag, created by JJ Poole in in 2013 consists of five horizontal strips to represent gender. Black and brown stripes represent both people of color and those who are lost due to AIDS.įlags such as the Bisexual Flag, Pansexual Pride Flag, Asexual Flag, Polyamory Flag, and Intersex Flags were created to increase visibility of bisexual, pansexual, asexual, polyamorous, and intersex individuals. Pink and light blue represent the traditional colors associated with baby girls and boys while white represents those who are intersex, transitioning, or non-binary. A more inclusive version, the Progress Pride Flag, designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018 included white, pink, and light blue striped chevron design. This flag made its first appearance June 8, 2017. The Philadelphia Pride Flag included black and brown stripes to the Traditional Gay Pride Flag to symbolize people of color. Over the years, various flags were designed to represent LGBTQ people as symbols of pride that helped provide visibility within social movement, with the June 1969 Stonewall-Riots as a catalyst to social change in the fight against discrimination. The Traditional Gay Pride Flag include six stripes (minus the pink and turquoise) Yellow = sunlight, Green = nature, Turquoise = magic/art, Indigo = serenity, Violet = spirit. The first rainbow flag had eight colors, with each having a special meaning. The Gilbert Baker Pride Flag made its first appearance at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978. Milk’s time in office was tragically cut short after being assignation only one year later, November 27, 1978. Milk become the first openly gay elected official to hold a visible position in a major US city, San Francisco. Baker was challenged to create a symbol of pride for the gay community after meeting Harvey-Milk, politician and gay rights activist. The Gilbert Baker Pride Flag is the first rainbow flag designed by activist and artist, Gilbert Baker.

This is kind of a lot like the Bisexual flag because the two sexualities are similar.Did you know that there are over 20 different LGBTQ flags?Įach has their own meaning and tell a story of individuals and groups within the LGBTQIA+ community, represented by the various colors in stripes, shapes, and symbols. The yellow represents anyone else who aren’t male or female (I’ll talk more about those later.) The last one, blue, represents masculinity or male. Pansexual: The colors of this flag are pink, yellow, and blue. Finally the Purple represents the community as a whole. The white represents the Asexual people who do have sex. The gray represents the people who have little sexual desire. So they went with yellow and purple because those colors together represent “hermaphrodite”.Īsexual: black represents the absence of sexual desire. Intersex: When this flag was made, the person wanted to refrain from using pink or blue or “girl and boy colors”.

Then the last color, white, represents everything in between. Then finally, the purple represents a mixture of the two. While the red represents the least femininity or “girly”.īisexual: The pink represents girl. The pink stripe represents being very feminine or “girly”. Lesbian: The colors layering from levels of pink to white to red represent different levels of femininity. I was not able to find a picture of this flag, but if it gets used enough then the rainbow flag will be able to solely represent everyone. It’s like the lesbian flag but instead of different pinks, its different types of blues, representing masculinity. The Gay male community uses this flag as theirs too for now, but I’ve been seeing a new gay flag going around. Gay: The flags colors together represent the whole LGBT+ community. You’ll see these a lot in the community, so it’s best to know what some of them mean. Here is a list of the pride flags and their meanings.
