The origin of the abrosexual flag is unknown, possibly being created in 2013 by DevianArt, or by Mod Chad after a tumbler user requested it.

An abrosexual sexual person has a fluid sexual orientation or identifies with multiple sexual orientations over time.

The exact meaning of the colors on the abro flag are unknown.

The agender pride flag was created in 2014 by Salem X. They created it to represent all people who identify as agender, to bring awareness to the different gender identities on the gender spectrum.

An agender person is someone who identifies as somewhere in-between male and female, not really identifying with any gender.

The black and white stripes represent no gender, the grey stripes represent in between gender and non-gender, and the green represents non-binary gender.

The aroace flag was created in 2018 in the same way as a lot of the more recent pride flags have been created, by an internet user using feedback from the internet LGBTQ+ community to help them best represent the targeted community with the flag.

An aroace person is someone who identifies as aromantic and asexual.

The dark orange represents community, the yellow represents love and relationships outside of the typical sexual/romantic normality, the white represents wholeness, people not seeking commiting relationships and are happy without one (that does not mean they want to isolate themselves), and the light and dark blues represent the unique range of aroace experiences.

It is unknown when this pride flag was created, or who created it, but it is the most common and official aromantic pride flag.

An aromantic person is not romantically attracted to others and has no desire to be in a romantic relationship. An aromantic person is not necessarily also asexual, many aromantic people are sexually attracted to others but do not want to be in a romantic relationship with them. Just because someone is aromantic does not mean they do not want to be in any relationships, many aromantic people are in platonic relationships and some will decide to get platonically married.

The dark green represents aromanticism, light green is somewhere on the aromantic spectrum, the white represents platonic relationships and aesthetic attraction, the grey represents demiromantic and grey-romantics, and the black represents somewhere on the sexuality spectrum.

Voted on in 2010, the asexual pride flag was created by the Asexual Visibility and Education Network or AVEN and now is used as the common symbol of Asexuality.

Asexual means to not be sexually attracted to anyone.

The black stripe represents asexuality, the gray stripe represents the gray area in-between asexual and sexual, the white stripe represents sexual, and the purple stripe represents community.

Like a lot of the pride flags there are multiple versions of the bigender pride flag, but this is the most common version, created by a tumbler user somewhere in early 2014.

A person who identifies as bigender typically identifies as both male and female, but they might identify as both at the same time, more one than the other, or they might feel like their gender changes over time. But like all the different queer identities it changes from person to person.

There is not a defined meaning for all the colors, but the warmer tones at the top are assumed to be more feminine, and the cooler tones masculine. The white is to represent in the middle of the spectrum.

Michael Page designed the bisexual pride flag in 1998, to represent and validate bisexuality and being attracted to multiple genders.

Bisexual means to be attracted to two (multiple) genders. Some common misconceptions about bisexual people (besides thinking they are confused) are believing that they are equally attracted to all genders. One can be bisexual and have a great preference for girls or boys, and one can even be bisexual while being sexually attracted to one gender and romantically attracted to another.

The pink represents attraction the same sex, the purple being attracted to multiple, and the blue represents being attracted to the opposite sex.

Adapted from Gilbert Baker’s original eight color flag, this six-stripe flag represents all the non-heterosexual sexualities, but is most commonly used for gay pride. (Some people use it as the all around queer flag but it is important to recognize that this one only represents sexuality not gender)

While the word gay has taken many meanings over the centuries, it is now most commonly used to mean homosexual, or someone who is attracted to their same gender.

The red stands for life and sexuality, the orange stands for healing and friendship, the yellow stands for vitality and energy, the green stands for serenity and nature, the blue stands for harmony and artistry, and the purple stands for spirit and gratitude.

The very first gay pride flag was created in 1977 by Gilbert Baker, and while it is not the official or the most common flag it is still recognized as one of the main pride flags and should be mentioned.

The meanings of the stripes are essentially the same as the traditional gay pride flag, but are enterpreted a bit differently. From top to bottom:

sexuality, life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic, serenity, and spirit.

A tumbler user name JJ Poole created the genderfluid pride flag in 2012, to add to the growing list of more commonly known gender identities. They live in New York and are an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. They identify as agender and pansexual.

A genderfluid person can be anyone who feels like they identify with multiple genders, some genderfluid people feel like they are all genders and will use all pronouns, and some genderfluid people feel like different genders at different points in their life.

The pink stripe represents femininity, the white stripe represents all genders, the purple stripe represents both masculinity and femininity, the black stripe represents no gender, and the blue stripe represents masculinity.

11 years after the first gender-related pride flag was created in 1999 (the trans flag), Marilyn Roxie created the genderqueer pride flag in September of 2010. They wanted to create a pride flag that encompasses all people outside the gender binary, so genderqueer people could have a flag to unite them like the trans and gay pride flags.

Genderqueer is an umbrella term for everyone who does not completely identify with their assigned gender at birth. Genderqueer people could identify as trans, non-binary, genderfluid, agender, bigender, any gender outside the gender they were assigned. Some people also choose just to identify as genderqueer and not specify their gender identity.

The lavender, a mix of the traditional male and female colors blue and pink, represents androgynous people, and is a color traditionally associated with queerness. The white represents agender identity, and the green is the opposite of the lavender, representing people completely outside the gender binary and not relating to it.

The Intersex pride flag was created in by Intersex International Australia.

An intersexual person is someone who has the organs of both male and female bodies.

The colors and symbols on this flag were picked from bright contrasting colors that do not represent a certain gender, to go beyond the gender binary.

There have been many different lesbian pride flags over the years, such as the labrys lesbian flag, the multiple lipstick lesbian flags, and the butch lesbian flag, or the five stripe version of this one, but the most common one (as seen above) was created by Emily Gwen in 2018.

The term lesbian technically means any non-man attracted to any non-man, so one could identify as a lesbian if they are only attracted to women and identify as a woman, or if they are attracted to women and non-binary people and identify as a non-male gender.

From top to bottom the different stripes represent: Gender non-conformity, independence, community, unique relationships to womanhood, serenity, and love.

In 2014 Kye Rowan created the non-binary pride flag. At the time the genderqueer pride flag was the only main flag to represent gender identity, but to add to the growing awareness of the different genders on the gender spectrum.

A non-binary person is someone who doesn’t identify as only female or male, and that could mean identifying somewhere in between, not identifying with either gender, or they feel like their gender tends to change over time.

The yellow stripe represents people who identify outside the gender binary of male and female, the white represents people who identify as multiple genders, for white is all colors mixed together, the lavender represents people a mix of male and female, and the black represents people who don’t identify with a gender, because black is the absence of color.

The omnisexual pride flag joined the growing list in 2015, created by an internet user by the name of Pastermemer.

Omnisexual means to be attracted to all genders, but instead of having a gender blindness like pansexuality omnisexual people can be more attracted to one gender than the other.

The two pink stripes at the top represent attraction to feminine people, the middle purple or black stripe represents attraction to non-binary people, and the two blue stripes at the bottom represent attraction to masculine people.

Another internet user created the pansexual pride flag in 2010, and is now recognized as one of the commonly known and recognized flags and sexualities.

Pansexual means to be attracted to anyone regardless of gender, so a pansexual person will not see gender as a factor in being attracted to someone. This is called ‘gender blindness’, and most pansexual people will see gender differently than others, and a pansexual person is not bisexual, contrary to some belief.

The pink or magenta stripe at the top represents attraction to female identifying people, the yellow represents attraction to anyone not in the gender binary, and the light blue represents attraction to male. identifying people.

Finished in May of 2017, this flag was created by Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs and design agency Tierney.

After discrimination against people of color inside the LGBTQ+ community, the Philadelphia pride flag was created with the extra black and brown stripes at the top to represent diversity, intersectionality, and queer people of color.

The progressive pride flag was created by Daniel Quasar, aiming to include more people in the queer community with only one flag.

While the rainbow stripes in the background represent sexuality, the blue pink and white stripes represent gender identity and the black and brown stripes were added from the Philadelphia flag to include queer people of color.

An alternative to this has been made adding the intersex flag, called the ‘intersex inclusive progressive pride flag’, but is not as common.

In 1999, a transgender woman named Monica Helms created the Trans pride flag, meant to represent all people outside the gender binary.

Transgender means someone who identifies as a different gender than the one assigned at birth.

The blue represent boys, the pink represents girls, and the white represents all that do not identify as a boy or a girl, or people who are transitioning and still discovering themselves. Monica designed it so no matter which way it was held it was always correct, to represent that everyone is right by being themself.
