Here is a brief timeline of the community’s most popular pride flag: 1978 Since the first rainbow flag was created in the 1970s, the LGBTQ pride flag has continued to evolve as the needs of the community have shifted through the years.
The circle, which is “unbroken and unornamented”, symbolizes “wholeness, and completeness, and potentialities”.Ī post shared by Intersex Equality Rights UK Brief Timeline Of LGBTQ Pride Flags Carpenter chose the colors golden yellow and purple specifically to avoid “referencing gender stereotypes, like the colors pink and blue”. This new version incorporates the intersex flag by housing the golden yellow background and purple circle of the intersex flag in a triangle inside the five-striped chevron.Īustralian researcher and bioethicist Morgan Carpenter designed the intersex flag in 2013. It was designed by intersex advocate and columnist Valentino Vecchietti. In May 2021, advocacy group Intersex Equality Rights UK launched an intersex-inclusive version of Quasar’s Progress Pride flag. Shutterstock The Intersex-Inclusive Pride Progress Flag Its placement on the left side of the original rainbow flag indicates that “progress still needs to be made” for the represented communities. Thus, the inclusion of the chevron or arrow pattern, which points to the right to represent “forward movement” or progress. The colors, which appear on the transgender pride flag created by Monica Helms in 1999, mimic the shades traditionally associated with baby boys and baby girls, as well as those who are intersex, in transition, or non-binary, respectively.Īccording to Dezeen, Quasar included the new colors in a chevron pattern because he felt that “the six-striped LGBT flag should remain separated from the newer stripes as they differ in meaning” and to “shift focus and emphasis to what is important in our current community climate.” The climate in reference being the spate of police brutality experienced by POCs in and out of the LGBTQ community, as well as the rise in violence and discrimination towards the trans community. Quasar also added the colors light blue, pink, and white to represent the transgender community. Since the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was POCs that were largely affected by HIV and AIDs. The black and brown colors of the Progress Pride Flag represent marginalized LGBTQ people of color, as well as those living with AIDS/HIV and those who died from AIDS/HIV complications.
Quasar’s design is actually a redesign of a pride flag that the city of Philadelphia launched in June 2017 that features black and brown stripes on top of the usual six rainbow colors.
