People who are genderfluid don’t recognize with one gender, but rather their gender identity shifts between male, female, or somewhere else on the spectrum. How often someone’s identity shifts depends on the individual.
The flag was created by JJ Poole in 2012 according to OutRight Action International.
Pink: Represents femininity
White: Represents all genders
Purple: Represents both masculinity and feminity
Black: Represents a lack of gender
Blue: Represents masculinity
In an interview with Majestic Mess Designs, Poole said they created the flag because genderfluidity lacked a symbol and the designation “genderqueer” didn’t exactly fit.
“I had been trying to uncover an identity that fit me. At the time I knew genderqueer fit me, but it still felt too broad. I set up genderfluid to be fitting but was disappointed with the lack of symbolic representation,” Poole said. “I wouldn’t notify myself an musician, but I’ve dabbled with drawing and bits of Photoshop, so I decided to create it myself. And I made a couple flags actually, but this one I submitted to a blog on Tumblr about genderfluidity and gender fluid peop

Unwrapping my Pride Palace flag felt like unwrapping a tribute of acceptance. The colors are electrifying, and the peace sign is a powerful symbol of oneness. Supporting a brand that gives back to the LGBTQ+ community makes it even more special.

The History of the Celebration Flag
With its luminous colours and significant essence, the Rainbow Flag is a symbol recognised all over the world to represent the LGBTQ+ communities. It’s a symbol of hope, unity and empowerment to allow love to be love regardless of gender, ethnicity or labels. But where did this renowned flag come from? And how was the design chosen?
The original Celebration Flag originates from San Francisco Activist Gilbert Baker, who desired to build an emblem of event for the gay group. In 1978 the Rainbow Flag was created, as Baker recognised that a flag is one of the most significant aspects of identity, and wanted his creation to be a unified symbol of gratification for all those who identify within these communities.
In England, homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967, with Scotland following in 1980, and Northern Ireland by 1982. Before this moment, it was illegal to engage in ‘private lgbtq+ acts’, and those caught or believed to be engaging in same-sex relationships could face imprisonment, common shame and a life-long criminal records. Society was homophobic, with those in same-sex relationships being stripped of their basic independence to love the p
Flags of the LGBTIQ Community
Flags have always been an integral part of the LGBTIQ+ movement. They are a clear representation meant to observe progress, advocate for advocacy, and amplify the ask for and drive for collective action. There have been many LGBTIQ+ flags over the years. Some possess evolved, while others are constantly being conceptualized and created.
Rainbow Flag
Created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, the iconic Pride Rainbow flag originally had eight stripes. The colors included pink to represent sexuality, red for healing, yellow for sun, green for serenity with nature, turquoise for art, indigo for peace, and violet for liveliness. In the years since, the flag now has six colors. It no longer has a pink stripe, and the turquoise and indigo stripes were replaced with royal blue.
Progress Pride Flag
Created in 2018 by nonbinary musician Daniel Quasar, the Progress Pride flag is based on the iconic 1978 rainbow flag. With stripes of black and brown to represent marginalized LGBTIQ+ people of color and the triad of cerulean, pink, and white from the trans flag, the design represents diversity and inclusion.
