There are also other iterations of Pride Flags that vary from country to country, too. Just like states like Maryland and Arizona or Chicago have iconic flags that you see almost everywhere, some of the flag designs are more attractive and engaging than others.” “Like the state flags, many of these flags were designed by their various creators with certain intentionalities and symbolisms in mind, though the general framework of three to nine evenly distributed stripes has become a framework many follow. But obviously, the more specific you get, the less known and less agreed-upon the flags become,” Simpson adds. “Each city within each state likely has a flag too, or perhaps more than one that has been proposed, reflecting the diversity of our community. Simpson also co-authored the proposition to get Unicode to include the transgender flag in the recent emoji update. “When I describe the diverse Pride flags, I like to explain that if you were to consider the rainbow as the ‘United States of Pride Flag,’ then just as each state in our union has a flag, so does each state of being,” explains Hannah Simpson, a transgender activist who runs the LGBTQIA+ enamel pin Etsy shop, Changed Me. Throughout the years, some flags have also undergone different variations as well. There are at least 21 official LGBTQ+ flags that represent varying identities within the queer community.

How many different LGBTQ+ flags are there? The flag was my way of saying we as a community need to step back and listen.Let’s take a look at LGBTQIA+ flags and gay flags-including all pride flags -and the meaning behind each of them. We cannot ignore that and must make space for them to be heard. “Our world is so charged right now and the voices who have been screaming for years are getting louder and louder. “The inclusion of the additional stripes means placing emphasis on voices that need to be heard, especially now even more so than two years ago when I originally made the flag,” Quasar said. In an email to them., Quasar clarified that the Progress Pride Flag “was not meant as a replacement” for Baker’s iconic designs, but was intended “as a supplement to the many flags our community uses to represent us.” Those were phased out in a 1979 modification following the death of San Francisco assemblyman and LGBTQ+ rights activist Harvey Milk. The first flag unveiled 42 years ago had eight stripes, with hot pink representing sex and turquoise for magic. The six stripes in the widely popularized rainbow flag of today each represent an idea that resonates with LGBTQ+ people: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for peace, and purple for spirit.īut Baker’s flag has changed numerous times throughout the years. The Progress Pride Flag and Philadelphia’s Pride banner made waves at the time, with critics claiming that Gilbert Baker’s 1978 design, which has since been included in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection, didn’t need to be updated. “We still have movement forward to make,” Quasar wrote at the time. In a statement posted to the campaign’s Kickstarter page, Quasar said the goal was to emphasize “what is important in our current community climate,” namely the inclusion of Black, Brown, and trans people long marginalized by the mainstream LGBTQ+ movement.
