While early variations of the asexual pride flag denoted half-filled hearts and triangles, it was established that this wasn't fully inclusive for the asexual community. After a lot of consideration, the above flag was created to represent asexuality (black), grey-sexuality and demisexuality (grey), non-asexual partners and allies (white), and community (purple). The asexual flag has been widely recognized since its release in 2010.

This flag makes use of colors associated with baby boys and girls, but also includes white for neutral genders or those who are transitioning. The mirror symmetry of this flag means that it can be flown 'correctly' either way up, which represents transgender individuals finding 'correctness' through their transition.

This brightly colored pride flag is one used by polysexuals. Polysexuality (poly meaning many) is different from pansexuality (pan meaning all) in that they are attracted to many genders, but perhaps not all of them. The stripes on this flag take a leaf out of the book of the bisexual flag and represent masculinity and femininity, though the addition of green represents neutral and non-binary genders that aren't associated with either.


Interestingly, the bisexual pride flag has two interpretations

Interestingly, the bisexual pride flag has two interpretations. The first is that the pink and blue represent attraction to masculine and feminine, with purple symbolizing attraction to other genders, however, the creator of the flag intended something different. While the pink represents homosexuality and the blue represents heterosexuality, the purple in between is said to 'blend unnoticeably' between the two like a gradient, as bisexual people tend to 'blend' into both homosexual and heterosexual communities.


This flag looks a little different from its striped pride flag counterparts

This flag looks a little different from its striped pride flag counterparts. The white in this flag represents sexuality, while the black represents asexuality. The grey stripe in this flag represents grey-sexuality (between sexuality and asexuality). The fine purple stripe in this flag pertains to community, like the asexual pride flag.


More will be coming soon!
