The flag here and the one we currently provide is a shortened version of the flag carrying the same important values. The seven colour version of this flag was proposed by the author to be "a Lesbian flag for everyone" and has now been voted on approximately 5,000 people as a possibility for the new Lesbian Flag, which we fully back and support. New Lesbian Pride FlagĬarrying on from the original Lesbian flags, the new Lesbian Pride flag consists of seven horizontal stripes meaning Gender non-conformity, independence, community, unique relationships to womanhood, serenity and peace, love and sex alongside femininity. This all lead onto further variations in colour. In addition others oppose the lipstick Lesbian flag in particular as the designer, Natalie McGray reportedly wrote racist, biphobic and transphobic comments on a since deleted blog.
The original Lesbian Pride flag features shades of pink, white and red and was originally the most commonly used flag to represent lesbians, although some felt it was only for 'lipstick lesbians' or 'femme lesbians' due to the orginal form of the flag created back in 2010 which features a lipstick mark in the top left hand corner.Īlthough the flag is still widely used, some argue this version is still based of the original which is 'butch-phobic. Some lesbians may also prefer to identify as gay. The first letter in LGBT, Lesbian is the identity of somebody who identifies as a homosexual woman whose enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to a female. The pink stripes refers to femininity, the blue masculinity, purple being both femininity and masculinity with black referring to lack of gender and finally white for all genders. The Genderfluid Pride Flag was created by JJ Poole has five horizontal stripes which are coloured from top to bottom Pink, white, purple, black and blue.
Genderfluid people may also identify as Multigender, Non-Binary and/or Transgender. The identity of a Genderfluid person may change constantly or from time to time. Genderfluid is the gender identity that refers to a gender which can vary over time. Page stated that the message behind the flag was the concept of the purple blending into both the blue and the pink at the same time, the same way Bisexual people often blend unnoticed into both the gay and straight community. The top pink stripe represents the attraction to the same gender, with the bottom blue stripe for the attraction to the opposite/different gender with the centered purple stripe for the attraction across the gender spectrum. The flag consists of three horizontal stripes. The Bisexual Pride flag was designed by Michael Page back in 1998 in the efforts to bring wider awareness to Bisexuality and the community as a whole.
Bisexuality is separate from homosexuality and heterosexuality and forming the attraction of two genders/sexes through to the attraction of all genders/sex. Bisexual Pride Flagīisexuality is the sexual orientation whereby a person is attracted to two or more genders and/or sexes. The black stripe represents Asexuality, the grey stripe representing the grey-area between sexual and Asexual, the white stripe represents sexuality and finally the purple stripe representing the Purple Stripe community. The Asexual Pride flag consists of just four horizontal stripes. The Asexual Pride Flag dates back to August 2010 and was created by a member of the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) as part of a contest by numerous Asexual communities to create a flag they could have for them-self. The identity Asexual comes from Asexuality and is used by those who have limited or no sexual feelings or desires. The black & white stripes represent the absence of gender, with the grey representing semi-'genderlessness' and finally the green central stripe represents Non-Binary genders. The flag consists of seven horizontal stripes each with their own meaning. The Agender Pride flag was created by Tumblr user Salem X back in 2014. The majority of people who identify as Agender, also identify as Genderqueer, Non-Binary and/or Transgender. It can be both seen as a statement of not having a gender identity or as a Non-Binary identity. The Agender identity is simply translated as 'without gender'. Read more about this in our blog titled " Why is the rainbow a symbol for LGBT Pride?". The Rainbow Pride flag can be seen flown internationally at Pride events and is mostly used as the collective symbol for the entire LGBTQ+ community.Īlthough you may think this flag has always been the same, it has been altered slightly since the original design by Gilbert Baker in 1977. Before we start with the alphabetical ordering, we thought it was best to begin with the most commonly known Pride flag, the LGBT or Gay Pride rainbow flag.
