LGBTQIA Pride Flag Colors and Symbolism

The Evolution of the Pride Flag

The colors of the LGBTQIA Pride flag have evolved over time to represent an inclusive and diverse community. The original rainbow flag, designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, featured eight stripes representing different aspects of the LGBTQIA identity. Over the years, the flag has been modified to include additional colors and symbols.

The current version of the Pride flag includes three stripes of pink, green, and blue. These colors are taken from the flags for pansexuality and bisexuality. Pink and blue are the traditional colors of the bisexuality Pride flag, while green replaces the yellow and purple stripes from the pansexuality Pride flag.

Intersex Representation

Although the Pride flag continues to evolve, the most recent update includes a yellow triangle with a purple circle inside it to represent the intersex community. This is the iteration of the Pride Flag that we all.
