The Transgender Flag.

Transgender: People whose gender identity doesn’t align with the sex they were assigned at birth.

History: The transgender pride flag was created in 1999 by Monica Helms, a transgender navy veteran, and first flown at a pride parade in Phoenix in 2000. The design and colors were carefully chosen by Helms. That first flag she created now flies at the Smithsonian Natural Museum of American History. Since its debut in 2000, the trans pride flag has grown to be the prevailing symbol of the transgender community. It was flown in San Francisco’s Castro District on the November 19, 2012, in honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance. It was also displayed in the White House during Pride Month in June 2016.

Flag Meaning

Light Blue: Represents the traditional color for boys.

Light Pink: Represents the traditional color for girls.

White: Represents those who are intersex, transitioning, or see themselves as having a neutral or undefined gender.

The Bisexual Flag.

Bisexuality: The physical or romantic attraction to two genders.

History: The word “bisexual” comes from the Greek prefix “bi” meaning “two”. The bisexual pride flag was created in 1998 by Michael Page, to differentiate the community from the rainbow flag and the gay community. Page decided to create it after his time at BiNet USA, a nonprofit organization.

The flag was unveiled on December 5, 1998, at BiCafe’s (an early bisexual web site) 1st anniversary party.

Flag Meaning

Pink: Representing attraction to those of the same gender identity.

Purple: Representing attraction to two genders.

Blue: Representing attraction to those who identify as a different gender.

The Pansexual Flag.

Pansexuality: The attraction to people regardless of their gender identity.

History: The word “pansexual” comes from the Greek prefix “pan” meaning “all”. Pansexuality differs from bisexuality in that people who identify as pansexual are emotionally or physically attracted to all genders, regardless of sex or gender identity, whereas bisexuality is defined as people who are emotionally or physically attracted to two genders.

The pansexual pride flag was created to differentiate between the bisexuality flag, which also has three horizontal bars. It was created on the internet sometime around 2010, and has gained popularity since then.

Flag Meaning

Pink: Representing attraction to those who identify as female.

Yellow: Representing attraction to those who identify as genderqueer, non-binary, agender, androgynous, or anyone who doesn’t identify on the male-female binary.

Blue: Representing attraction to those who identify as male.

AND The Polysexual Flag.

Polysexual: Someone who is sexually attracted to multiple, but not all, genders.

Polyromantic: Someone who is romantically attracted to multiple, but not all, genders.

History: On July 11, 2012, a flag designed by a Tumblr user with the signature “Samlin” submitted or posted a design to the blog @f***yeahpolysexuality, explaining their design: “I, as a poly individual, was greatly saddened by the fact that we don’t have a flag…so I made one :P I made it similar to the bi and pan flags, since they’re all in under the multisexual umbrella. -Samlin”

The colors and design of the flag are based off the bisexual and pansexual flags, borrowing the blue and pink, and replacing the purple and yellow stripes with a green one.

Flag Meaning

Pink: Represents attraction to female-identified people.

Green: Represents attraction to people who identify outside the traditional male-female binary.

Blue: Represents attraction to male-identified people

The Polyamorous Flag.

Flag Meaning

Blue : The openness and honesty of all parties involved in the relationships

Red : love and passion

Black : solidarity with those who must hide their polyamorous relationships from the outside world

There are many explanations for the pi symbol in the middle of the flag. However, the one that makes the most sense and is agreed upon but most people is that it stands for infinite love amongst partners.

The Drag Pride Flag.

History

Although there was an earlier version of the Drag Pride Flag created by artist Sean Campbell in 1999, it was originally known as the Feather Pride Flag. The second iteration of the Drag Pride Flag—and the one most commonly used now—made its debut at the 2016 Austin International Drag Festival and features a crown and stars on three vertical stripes, each of which has a meaning:

Flag Meaning

Purple: A passion for drag
White: The blank slate a face and body become when creating drag characters
Blue: Self-expression and loyalty
Crown: Leadership within the community
Stars: The many forms of drag

Blue is the warmest color (Originally "Le bleu est une couleur chaude") is originally a French comic book by Jul' Maroh, published by Glénat in March 2010.

"Bleu de travail" is a work clothe, named from its caracteristic blue color.

In the 19th century, it was one of the distinctive signs of the workers.
The use of blue overalls dates back to the industrial revolution. At that time, the workers had obtained from the bosses that the latter provide them with their clothes. The bosses turned to "Prussian blue" clothing, a cheap color invented a century earlier and which was already used by sailors, soldiers and letter carriers.

The lyrics are from Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter.

And the peaches and the mangos
That you could sell for me

What do you think my brain is made for
Is it just a container for the mind?
This great grey matter
Sensei replied, "What is your woman?
Is she just a container for the child?"
That soft pink matter
Cotton candy, Majin Buu, oh, oh, oh
Close my eyes and fall into you, you, you
My God, she's giving me pleasure

Oh, no, no
What if the sky and the stars are for show
And the aliens are watching live
From the purple matter?
Sensei went quiet then violent
We sparred until we both grew tired
Nothing mattered
Cotton candy, Majin Buu, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dim the lights and fall into you, you, you, ooh
My God, giving me pleasure
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Pleasure over matter

Since you been gone, I been having withdrawals
You were such a habit to call
I ain't myself at all, had to tell myself, "Naw
She better with some fella with a regular job"
I didn't wanna get her involved
By dinner Mr. Benjamin was sitting in awe
Hopped into my car, drove far
Far's too close and I remember my memory's no sharp
Butter knife, what a life, anyway
I'm building y'all a clock, stop, what am I, Hemingway?
She had the kind of body that would probably intimidate
Any of 'em that were un-southern, not me, cousin
If models are made for modelin'
Thick girls are made for cuddlin'
Switch worlds and we can huddle then
Who needs another friend? I need to hold your hand
You'd need no other man, we'd flee to other lands

Grey matter
Blue used to be my favorite color
Now I ain't got no choice
Blue matter

You're good at being bad
You're bad at being good
For heaven's sakes, go to hell
Nah, knock on wood, hey
You're good at being bad (you're bad at being good)
You're bad at being good (for heaven's sakes, go to hell, knock on wood)
For heaven's sakes, go to hell
Knock, knock, knock, knock on wood
Well, frankly, when that ocean so muhfucking good
Make her swab the muhfucking wood
Make her walk the muhfucking plank
Make her rob a muhfucking bank
With no mask on and a rusty revolver

This blue bird was worn by Massachusetts suffragettes in 1915.
