Nevertheless, Del Rio does point out a common thread between the most recognizable lesbian flags: the color purple. "[Purple] plays a significant role across time and across communities," Del Rio explains. "Lavender or purple has a long history as a color that represents queer folks. There are many, many, many different roots for that. Some reference the poetry of Sappho and her referencing violets, to effeminate cultural practitioners in the 19th century." There was also a slur used in the late '60s and early '70s that referred to lesbians as "lavender menaces." It was reclaimed and adopted by lesbian activists, Del Rio says. Milk was assassinated that same year, which shot the original Rainbow Pride Flag into the 1978 version of going viral. Due to the demand and a shortage of fabric (remember, there were eight total colors), it was decided that hot pink would be dropped and the original design revamped. Meaning behind the colours: Nobody knows. Either that, or everyone’s own interpretation is correct. Intersex folks can have any sexual orientation or gender identity, but are often included in the LGBTQ+ umbrella because they tend to also face discrmination in their daily lives. a b Murphy-Kasp, Paul (6 July 2019).

There are at least more than 30 official LGBTQ+ flags that represent various identities within the queer community. Throughout the years, some of these flags have also undergone different changes and variations as well. Demisexuality falls within the spectrum of asexuality, where an individual doesn’t experience sexual attraction to someone until they’ve formed an emotional connection with them. Because demisexuality falls within asexuality, their flags share the same colours, but come with different shapes. The Asexual Pride Flag was also created in 2010. It seeks to represent all individuals who identify with being asexual, including graysexuals (those who are fluid between sexual people and asexuals), demisexuals (those who don't feel sexual attraction without emotional connection), and more. This flag was specifically designed for straight allies to wear or wave at pride parades, without presenting themselves as queer. 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.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) 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. In the LGBTQ community, there are many flags that signify pride. From the Rainbow Pride Flag to the individual sexual orientation Pride flags, there are different symbols for the joy, pride and persistence of the LGBTQ community.

The Progress pride flag was designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018, and features a forward-moving 5-coloured chevron on top of the popular 6-coloured rainbow pride flag. Genderfluid people identify with different gender identities over time, and may want to remain flexible about their gender identity instead of committing to a single identity or definition. 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 .Prager, Sarah (January 29, 2020). "Four Flowering Plants That Have Been Decidedly Queered (Sapphic Violets)". JSTOR Daily . Retrieved 19 July 2020. The Genderqueer Pride Flag, which is also sometimes referred to as another Nonbinary Flag, is categorized by three horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, its colors are lavender, white and green. The lavender symbolizes the androgynous; white represents agender identities, and green represents nonbinary people.
