Product Information

This flag was designed by Tony DeBlase in 1989, who was repeatedly asked to explain the meaning behind the colours and design, but refused. In his words: “I will leave it to the viewer to interpret the colors and symbols”. In November 1978, Harvey Milk was assassinated by a former supervisor, and became an icon of gay martyrship overnight. Demand for the rainbow pride flag soared, but flag makers at that time had difficulty getting hot pink fabric. Hot pink was thus dropped from the flag in November 1978. For Rocco Kayiotes, VP of Marketing at FOLX Health, the first health platform for the transgender and queer community, the creation and flying of the Transgender Flag coincided with his own transition and as such, holds special personal meaning. Green represents nonbinary genders (because it’s the inverse of purple, which is a colour often associated with the mix of male and female genders) Meaning behind the colours: Nobody knows. Either that, or everyone’s own interpretation is correct.

Red represents passion for rubber and rubbermen (a term used to describe gay men with a fetish for rubber) Demiboy folks identify only partially as a boy or man. The demiboy gender is part of the non-binary umbrella, since it doesn’t fit within the binary (male / female) concept of gender. Demiboy folks may or may not identify as another gender on top of partially being a boy or man. The Bear Brotherhood Flag represents pride for the bear subculture within the community of gay men. A "bear" refers to a "subset of men who embrace and subvert traditional masculinity and defy the stereotypes typically applied to gay men, who are usually seen as feminine due to their attraction to men; bears may be defined by physical appearance, tastes, expression of traditionally gendered traits, or personal affiliation," according to LGBTQIA+ Wiki . Still, that doesn't mean LGBTQ+ pride flags start and end at the many variations of the rainbow one. This flag was specifically designed for straight allies to wear or wave at pride parades, without presenting themselves as queer.One of them is believed to have come from the flag raised by Emily Gwen. It came to the public (in 2019) as a shortened version of the seven-striped lesbian pride flag. Specifically, the current version has only five stripes, including two orange stripes, two pink stripes, and one white stripe in the middle.

This flag was designed in 1999 by Sean Campbell for the lesbian community, but hasn’t gained widespread adoption. Part of the reason could be because the flag was designed by a gay man, and not a lesbian.

Intersex people are born with variations in sex characteristics — including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals — which make it difficult to classify them as traditionally male or female. It’s a misconception that all intersex folks have both male and female genitalia; instead, non-physical traits, such as hormonal or chromosomal variations, are much more common.

Aromantic folks generally don’t feel romantic attraction to others, which means they generally don’t desire to be in romantic relationships with people, or engage in romantic acts with others. Aromantic folks can feel sexual attraction and can be of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Over time, demand grew for a flag that specifically represents gay men. This 5-coloured (and sometimes 7-coloured) gay men pride flag was designed in 2019 by Tumblr user @gayflagblog, but it wasn’t without controversy. Before this aromantic pride flag became popular, 2 other flag designs were proposed. In August 2014, Cameron designed a new version of the aromantic pride flag, which features 5 horizontal stripes of different colours.Non-binary folks have gender identities that fall beyond the gender binary (male / female). This includes folks who are agender (who typically don’t experience a gender), multi-gender (who experience more than 1 gender), genderfluid (who experiences different genders), and who experience genders that are outside of the male/female classification.
