LGBTQ+ Pride Flags & Their Meanings

LGBTQ+ Pride Flags (& Their Meanings!!!) Part 1

Did you know we have the LARGEST Pride Flag Selection in the world?!

There is nothing we love more than pride merch, and that includes flags. With a selection of over 30 different flags, Pride Palace has got you covered. Through our pride flags, you can physically embrace your pride and showcase your support for the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you identify as a member of the community or are an ally, we support you and hope you will display your pride with our flags. Here are the first twenty amazing flags featured on our website:

Abrosexual refers to an individual whose sexuality is changing or fluid. For example, someone could be gay one day, then be asexual the next, then polysexual the next. While it is possible—and even common—for a person's sexual identity to shift or change in some way throughout their life, an abrosexual person's sexuality may change more frequently, over the course of hours, days, months, or years.

While genderqueer people bend the rules of gender, agender people reject a gender completely. For the Agender flag, the black and white stripes represent the absence of gender, while green, the inverse of the gender-heavy purple, represents non-binary genders. If you identify as agender and proud, get your flag today!

An ally, straight ally, or heterosexual ally is a heterosexual and/or cisgender person who supports marginalized groups in society. This flag allows allies to physically show allyship in support of the LGBTQ+ community. If you are an ally, we encourage you to help us in pursuit for normalizing cisgender allyship. If you are LGBTQ+, surprise your ally with an awesome flag!

The American Pride Flag is symbolic of the unity of American and Gay pride. Show your support for love - however it may come - by waving this flag wherever you go!

Aromantic asexual, often shortened to aroace or aro ace, is a term that refers to a person who is both aromantic/aro-spec and asexual/ace-spec. Aroace can be used for any individual who identifies with both spectrums. For example, an aromantic asexual, an aromantic demisexual, an acespike frayromantic, and a lithromantic greyasexual can all be described as aroace.

An aromantic person experiences little or no romantic attraction to others and/or has a lack of interest in romantic relationships/behavior. Aromanticism exists on a continuum from people who experience no romantic attraction or have any desire for romantic activities, to those who experience low levels, or romantic attraction only under specific conditions. Many of these different places on the continuum have their own identity labels.

An asexual person is someone who experiences little or no sexual attraction to others and/or a lack of interest in sexual relationships/behavior. Asexuality exists on a continuum from people who experience no sexual attraction or have any desire for sex, to those who experience low levels, or sexual attraction only under specific conditions.

The International Bear Brotherhood Flag was designed to represent the bear subculture within the LGBTQ+ community. The gay (and also bi, and possibly any other non-het orientation) bear culture celebrates secondary sex characteristics such as growth of body hair and facial hair.

Bigender is a non-binary gender identity in which someone has two distinct gender identities. Bigender people do not have to experience both genders in equal amounts. One or both of their genders could be fluid or fluctuating, in which case they may identify as bigenderflux.

Bisexual: a person who experiences attraction to some people of their gender and another gender. Bisexual attraction does not have to be equally split, or indicate a level of interest that is the same across the genders an individual may be attracted to. Sometimes abbreviated to "Bi" (Pronounced like 'bye'.)

Demiboy is a gender identity describing someone who partially identifies as a man, boy, or otherwise masculine, regardless of the gender they were assigned at birth. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to feeling partially a boy, man, or guy. The greys of the demiboy flag represent the partial connection and the grey area. The blue represents manhood. The white represents agender or non-binary identity.

Demigirl is a gender identity describing someone who partially or not very strongly identifies as a woman, girl, or otherwise feminine, regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to feeling partially like a girl or woman. The greys of the demigirl flag represent the partial connection and the grey areas. The pink represents womanhood. The white represents agender or non-binary identity.

Demiromantic is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum defined as someone who does not experience romantic attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone. Demiromantic can be a romantic orientation on its own or can be combined with other orientations.

Demisexual: little or no capacity to experience sexual attraction until a strong romantic connection is formed with someone, often within a romantic relationship. The black chevron represents asexuality, gray represents gray asexuality and demisexuality, white represents sexuality, and purple represents community.

A flag just for representing gay men. Whether you're a trans or cis man, you are valid and your attraction to men should be celebrated with its own flag!

Genderfluid : a gender identity best described as a dynamic mix of boy and girl. A person who is gender fluid may always feel like a mix of the two traditional genders, but may feel more man some days, and more woman other days.

Genderqueer: People whose gender identity does not fit within the male/female binary. The flag was created in June 2011 by Marilyn Roxie in order to create visibility for the genderqueer community and related identities. The flag was originally intended to represent all non-binary and genderqueer people, but as the genderqueer community grew the flag became synonymous with "genderqueer" specifically, leaving many non-binary people to not feel represented by the flag. A non-binary flag was created in February 2014 by Kye Rowan to represent non-binary people specifically.

The Intersectional Pride Flag is a symbol of pride and social movements for all races, genders and sexualities. If you identify as a member or ally, this flag allows you to portray your support for the community and be proud to be you! Hang it on your wall, wear it as a cape or wave it in the air. This 3x5 flag is meant for you!

Intersex: people born with any variation in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female bodies. The purple circle in the flag symbolizes wholeness, completeness, and potentialities of intersex people, and the yellow symbolizes colors that are not meant to be derivatives of pink or blue.

Lesbian: A woman who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to other women. Women and non-binary people may use this term to describe themselves. Your sexual orientation is something you should be proud of! Show off your pride in being you with this full-sized lesbian pride flag.
