A 9-striped flag, based on the original 8-striped one, has a white stripe in the middle. Several variants of the rainbow flag have been introduced and flown at “Pride Parades” since then. The flag now has (from the top) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet and their closest Pantone® values are 185 C, 1375 C, 101 C, 356 C, 2736 C and 2415 C, respectively. The indigo (#400098) and turquoise (#00C0C0) from the original flag were merged into one blue stripe and hot pink (#FF69B6) was removed. The present day LGBTQ+ Pride Flag has only 6 colors which are placed in equal-sized horizontal stripes. This flag had 8 stripes (from the top) – hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo and violet which represented sex, life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic/art, serenity and spirit, respectively. The original flag was designed by Gilbert Baker and was flown for the first time on 25 June 1978 at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade. However, this was soon done away with because of the dark history associated with the symbol – it was used by the German fascist rule of the early 20 th century to segregate homosexuals. Further expansion has led to the inclusion of queer and the community which is now LGBTQ.īefore the LGBTQ rainbow flag came into existence, the community used a pink triangle symbol as their identity. It has been used since the 1990s and replaces the term ‘gay’, which on its own, did not describe the community correctly. This is kind of a lot like the Bisexual flag because the two sexualities are similar.LGBT stands for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. The yellow represents anyone else who aren’t male or female (I’ll talk more about those later.) The last one, blue, represents masculinity or male. Pansexual: The colors of this flag are pink, yellow, and blue. Finally the Purple represents the community as a whole. The white represents the Asexual people who do have sex. The gray represents the people who have little sexual desire. So they went with yellow and purple because those colors together represent “hermaphrodite”.Īsexual: black represents the absence of sexual desire. Intersex: When this flag was made, the person wanted to refrain from using pink or blue or “girl and boy colors”. Then the last color, white, represents everything in between. Then finally, the purple represents a mixture of the two. While the red represents the least femininity or “girly”.īisexual: The pink represents girl. The pink stripe represents being very feminine or “girly”. Lesbian: The colors layering from levels of pink to white to red represent different levels of femininity. I was not able to find a picture of this flag, but if it gets used enough then the rainbow flag will be able to solely represent everyone. It’s like the lesbian flag but instead of different pinks, its different types of blues, representing masculinity. The Gay male community uses this flag as theirs too for now, but I’ve been seeing a new gay flag going around. Gay: The flags colors together represent the whole LGBT+ community.

You’ll see these a lot in the community, so it’s best to know what some of them mean. Here is a list of the pride flags and their meanings.
