Pride flags, their meaning, and their history

disclaimer: sorry if i miss any flags!! if i use any of the improper flags, get the history or the meaning wrong please let me know so i can fix it !!!!

the original pride flag

designed by gilbert baker in 1978

pink was sex, red was life, orange was healing, yellow was sunlight, green was nature, turquoise was magic or art, indigo was serenity and violet was spirit

rainbow flag

often used to represent the entire lgbtqa+ community

they got rid of the pink because the fabric wasn’t available

Philadelphia’s pride flag

In 2017 amber hikes, a black queer woman serving as executive director of the city of philadelphia’s office of lgbt affairs led the more pride more colour campaign to design the flag

The black and brown stripes were added to the flag to show inclusivity to black and brown members of the lgbtqa+ community and acknowledged the discrimination they face from both within and outside of the community

progress pride flag

created by daniel quasar in 2018 adding black and brown striped for people of colour and blue pink and white stripes for the trans community

the flag aimed to shift emphasis to marginalized groups that were important in the current climate and to show that forward movement and progress was still left to be made

lesbian flag

emily gwen designed the sunset lesbian flag

the flag was inclusive of butch, trans and non conforming women who were attracted to women

the dark orange is gender non-conformity, the coral orange is independence, the light orange is community, the white is the relationship to womanhood, the pink is serenity and peace, the pastel pink is love and sex, the dark pink is femininity

the earliest lesbian flag was made in 1999 by sean campbell which contained the repurpose of a nazi symbol, an axe to show feminisms, and a violet colour to indicate sapphic desires. another version of the lesbian flag is the lipstick lesbian flag made in 2010 by natalie mccray had colour that meant to represent two lips touching, the flag excluded butch, trans, and gender non conforming women

mlm/nblm/gaylm flags

(i am actually not entirely sure which is the proper flag or who invented them because there is still a lot of discourse and different variations of the flag)

the first flag is for mlm and nblm and has the least amount of controversy behind it so it’s probably your safest bet to you but it might not be the most recognizable. from top to bottom the colours represent attraction and beauty, mlm of colour, community and support, acceptance, trans and non binary, peace and warmth, love and romance

the second flag is a gaylm flag which was made by a gaylm trans man, it is the most recognisable flag but it is similar to a flag that has controversy surrounding whether it is a recolour of the lesbian flag (which i as a lesbian don’t mind but others may disagree) which was created by a transphobe. the flag above is for gay men and the colours from top to bottom represent community, healing, joy, gnc nb and trans men, pure love, fortitude, and diversity

bisexual flag

the bisexual flag was designed by michael page in 1988 to increase visibility towards bisexual people

bisexual people are attracted to multiple genders and experience attraction in relation to gender, this can be either romantic or sexual attraction

the pink represents represents attraction to those of the same gender identity, the purple represents attraction to genders, blue represents attraction to those who identify as a different gender

pansexual flag

the pansexual flag was designed in 2010 to differentiate from the bisexual flag

pansexual people are attracted to people regardless of their gender identity, this attraction can be romantic or sexual

pink represents attraction to women, the yellow represents attraction to genderqueer, non binary, agender, androgynous, or anyone who is not within the gender binary, blue represents attraction to men

polysexual flag

the polysexual flag was designed in 2012

a polysexual person is attracted to multiple but not all genders

pink represents attraction to women, green represents attraction to non-binary and gender nonconforming people and the blue represents attraction to men
