Though no one flag has yet to be adopted widely by the Lesbian community, this one is the most used. While there are several different versions of this flag, one with lipstick, others with more pink or red colors. We can’t leave out the ladies! And yes, this is the Lesbian Pride flag. “The background of the flag has three stripes: blue (representing the openness and honesty of all parties involved in the relationships), red (love and passion), and black (solidarity with those who must hide their polyamorous relationships from the outside world).” – Readers Digest.

Five colors – pink (feminity), white (lack of gender), purple (both masculine and feminine combined), blue (masculinity) and black (any gender on the spectrum.) It also represents those whose gender identity or expression is fluid. As the word fluid would suggest, this flag represents those who gender can fluctuate at different times throughout their life. Stumping me, this one is the Genderfluid flag. The purple stripe in the middle symbolizes attraction to two genders.” Reader’s Digest explained that, “the pink represents attraction to those of the same gender identity, while the blue stands for attraction to people who identify as a different gender. This is one of the few ones I got right! Even though there are three colors, this is the Bisexual flag. The white colors represent the intersex community, those with a neutral or undefined gender, and people transitioning from one gender to another. To fuel this important conversation, we’ve expanded the colors of the flag to include black and brown.”Īdd another point to your score if you said – Transgender Flag. Created in 1999 by transgender Navy veteran Monica Helms the light blue and light pink represent boys and girls. Especially when it comes to recognizing people of color in the LGBTQ+ community. A lot of good, but there’s more we can do. “In 1978, artist Gilbert Baker designed the original rainbow flag,” the campaign states. The colors, according to the Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs’ ‘More Color More Pride’ campaign, represent inclusion of people of color in the LGBTQ community. According to Vox, “for Pride Month, Philly added two colors - black and brown - to the existing pride flag, and hoisted it outside City Hall. Today, you’re likely to see a version designed by Daniel Quasar that adds a triangular chevron to one side, with colors honoring the trans community as well as people of color.” You might also see this next flag being waved proudly, especially if you live in Pennsylvania.Īnswer: Philadelphia Pride Flag. As mentioned in Them, “there are many more Pride flags than just the rainbow version created in the 1970s. In addition to the six colored stripes, five more colors were added.
