Bisexualflag meaning

The senyera, the official flag of Catalonia, based on the arms of the Crown of Aragon, is made up of nine horizontal stripes of equal width, five yellow and four red. The story goes that it was created by Frankish king Charles the Bald for count Wilfred I the Hairy of Barcelona as a sign of gratitude. As the count was dying from wounds sustained in the 897AD siege of Barcelona, the king dipped his fingers in his blood and drew them across the count's golden shield. Sadly, this poetic if icky story is certainly a myth, not least because Charles the Bald had died twenty years before Wilfred.

Then there's the flag in the photo below, a tricolour of red, yellow and purple (officially "murrey"). This was the flag of the Second Spanish Republic from 1931 until Franco's coup in 1939, and is used to this day by republicans. As a curiosity, if brought back officially, it would be the only country flag in the world to have purple on it, besides tiny splashes on those of Nicaragua and Dominica.

Even some neighbourhoods have their own, like Barceloneta, top half blue, bottom half yellow with a circular shield design in the centre.

That's the "black flag for the tercentenary of the War of the Spanish Succession". On 11th September 1714, the city of Barcelona fell to Bourbon forces in the War of the Spanish Succession; Catalonia had been on the side of the Habsburg claimant to the throne. The war would be followed in Spain by a period of centralisation and the loss of regional powers and rights. The end of the siege that September is now commemorated annually as Catalonia's national day.

LGBT flag

The version with a blue triangle and white star is called the estelada (literally, "starred"). It was created in the early 20th century, apparently drawing inspiration from the flag of Cuba given their then-recent War of Independence against Spain. It's common to see this version with a yellow triangle and red star instead of the blue and white. This is generally associated with left-wing groups supporting social as well as national revolution. Over the years, various other groups have created their own colour variants.

You'll already be familiar with the Spanish flag: horizontal bars running red, yellow, red from top to bottom, with the yellow the widest. Officially, it also includes the country's coat of arms on the side nearest the hoist. Sometimes, you see it with a black eagle instead of the coat of arms: that was the flag of the Franco dictatorship. Again, there's a whole range of other variations you'll see from time to time. One, for example, replaces the coat of arms with a bull.
