A flag is a great way for you to show off your pride! No matter how  you identify or what the color of your skin is, we are all human.  The Progress Pride Flag recognizes this by adding five arrow-shaped lines to the six-colored Rainbow Flag, which is widely recognized as the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.  The flag includes black and brown stripes to represent marginalized LGBT communities of color, along with the colors pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag. If you stand for equality, this flag is a way for you to show it!

What is Polyamory?

Polyamory: The ability to love multiple people and/or be involved in multiple relationships within the context of mutual consent.

History: The original polyamorous pride flag was created in the Pacific Northwest in early fall of 1995 by Jim Evans, who wanted to create an anonymous symbol for the polyamorous community that could be acknowledged and shared by those who knew the symbol. With the advent of the internet, people began to discover the flag, and it grew in popularity and use.

A modified version was created in Colorado in 2017 by the University of Northern Colorado Poly Community, one that has the infinity hearts symbol, a common symbol of the polyamorous community, instead of Evans' original pi symbol.

Flag Meaning:

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

Red: Represents love and passion.

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

Yellow: The value placed on emotional attachment to others.

Your sexual orientation is valid and accepted by us. Display your pride in being romantic with this awesome flag.

A flag is a great way for you to show off your pride in being your authentic self. If you identify as genderqueer and proud, get your flag today!

What is genderqueer?

Genderqueer: People whose gender identity does not fit within the male/female binary. 

History: 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. 

Flag Meaning:

Lavender: Mixture of “blue” and “pink”. Represents androgyny, and people who identify as a mixture of female and male.

White: Represents agender people.

Dark Chartreuse Green: The inverse of lavender. Represents people who identify outside of and without reference to the gender binary.

The International Bear Brotherhood Flag was designed to represent the bear subculture within the LGBT community.
