Demisexuality is an identity under the Asexual umbrella.

The Lesbian pride flag has had several iterations throughout the years. The first was a Labrys Lesbian flag and used throughout most of the early 2000s. Around 2010, the “Lip-stick lesbian” pride flag was proposed. However, this version was not well received by many in the WLW community due to it being exclusionary towards non-feminine of center, trans women, and other non-cis queer women. In response to the creator’s transphobic, racist and biphobic beliefs, the 2018 version of the flag was created with the intention to be more inclusive and representative of the wider women-loving-women community.

Individuals who identify as genderqueer do not embrace stereotypical norms of gender expression. Gender is a personal decision that should not be prescribed/dictated by society. In its original inception, the genderqueer flag was intended to represent both non-binary and genderqueer communities.

As for the gold color, it is widely accepted to represent the value that we place on the emotional attachment to others, be the relationship friendly or romantic in nature, as opposed to merely primarily physical relationships.

The genderqueer pride flag was intended to represent nonbinary people. However, with the growth of the genderqueer community, it became more synonymouswith them. Thus, not all nonbinary people felt represented by the Genderqueer Pride flag. The currently community accepted flag was created and proposed, not to replace the genderqueer flag, but to compliment it.

Polyamory is a non-monogamous relationship type that is one in which one or more of the participants are involved romantical and/or sexual relations with more than one individual at a time. This is not a strictly LGBTQ+ identity/experience.

The most updated/current version of this flag is similar in design to the Progressive Pride Flag, but now includes elements from the Intersex Pride Flag: the yellow and purple circle.

The Pansexual pride Flag was created around 2010 in order to bring awareness to the community who experience sexual attraction to people of any gender; though not necessarily at the same time, in the same way or to the same degree.

The Transgender pride flag was first shown at a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona in 2000. According to it’s creator, the pattern of the stripes is such that no matter which way you fly the flag, it will always be “correct”, signifying trans people finding “correctness” in their lives.

Two-Spirit refers to a strictly Native identity that describes a person who identifies as having both a masculine and feminine spirit. It can be understood as an umbrella term used by some Indigenous/Native people as a way to describe their sexual, gender, and/or spiritual identity.

Individuals who identify as genderfluid encompass and embrace the fluctuations and the flexibility of gender. For some genderfluid individuals, gender changes are arbitrary, while for some, they’re extreme. Gender fluctuations may happen slowly over a period of months or years, or they may happen fast in a matter of hours or days. The flag is designed to encompass multiple gender identities.

Aromanticism is an umbrella term for a multitude of different experiences and relationships to romantic identity. Aromantic individuals live on a spectrum, where some aromantic individuals do not experience romantic attraction to others while others have little to minimal romantic attraction.

This flag represents a community of often larger bodied, hairier men (body and facial hair). It was created to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and a celebration of non-conventional masculinity, expression, and body types. The colors of this flag were made to represent different animal hair colors, not necessarily human hair and skin tones. The intention of this subgroup and flag was rooted in the diversity and inclusion of the overall community.

There are further subgroups within the bear community, all connected to some animal identity, including but not limited to:

This flag represents queer and trans people of color (QTPoC) and emphasizes how the black and queer/trans queer community are often woven together, currently and even in the earliest days of the Queer Liberation Movement. The stripes on the first represent the varying shades of the “human rainbow”.

The Biromantic pride flag is similarly intentioned as the Bisexual pride, but to emphasize the romantic attraction to people of more than one gender identity/experience. The flag used same color scheme as the Bisexual flag, but has a large hear in the center to signify romantic attraction.

The intention for this flag is to bring together multiple aspects of queerness. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has suggested that the stripes reflection the following:

The number of hunters in the U.S. has been on the decline for decades. Given that fact, says Professor of Sociology Michael Rocque, it might be time to look at whether, overall, the very purpose of gun ownership has also shifted as well.

The Intersex flag was created by Intersex Human Rights Australia (then known as Organization Intersex International Australia) with the intention for it to “not [be] derivative but is firmly grounded in meaning”. The colors yellow and purple were chosen since they were socially viewed as free from gender associations and have been historically used to represent intersex people. The purple circle is described as “unbroken and unornamented, symbolizing wholeness and completeness, and our potentialities.”

The first proposed gay men’s pride flag has a challenging upbringing. It’s creation was rooted in exclusion of non-masculine men and non-cisgender men. Other challenges included: no meaning behind stripe colors.
