Sexuality Flags &#; LGBT+ Symbols: The Ultimate Guide

We all know the famous rainbow flag that represents gay pride. There are, however, many flags recognized among the LGBTQ+ community to symbolize the wide range of sexual orientations and gender identities.

Why are there so many LGBTQ and gender flags and meanings to stand for the specific groups of the community?

Monica Helms, the creator of the Transgender Pride Flag, probably phrased it best when she said, “I say the rainbow flag is like the American flag: everybody&#;s underneath that. But each group, like each articulate, has their own individual flag.”

So, why are flags so symbolic of the movement? The creator of the first rainbow Gay Pride Flag, Gilbert Baker, said, “Flags say something. You insert a rainbow flag on your windshield and you’re saying something.”

You can buy ready-made gender identity flags to showcase your pride in the LGBTQ+ community, or you can create your very own custom flag and pennant string flags on Vispronet.

Signs and symbols

Over many years, lesbian and gay communities around the world have used symbols to identify who we are. Often worn as badges and displayed as flags, some of the better known symbols include the rainbow flag, the pink triangle, the lambda and gender symbols.

Probably the most recognisable symbol today is the rainbow flag, but other symbols have been an integral part of our history in the fight for recognition and equality. While the red ribbon is not a symbol of being gay, many gay men wear it, which is why it is interpreted by some as an indication that the wearer is gay; this is not necessarily so.

This section is by no means exhaustive, in fact it's just the tip of the iceberg.

    Rainbow Flag

    The rainbow flag has become the easily-recognized colors of pride for the gay community. The rainbow plays a part in many myths and stories related to gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Aboriginal, African, and other cultures. Use of the rainbow flag by the gay community began in when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Release Day Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and shadowy civil rights groups, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year. The flag has six stripes, each color representing a component of the community: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, emerald for nature, royal blue for harmony, and violet for spirit.

    The rainbow flag has inspired a wide variety of related symbols and accessories, such as independence rings. There are plenty of variations of the flag, including versions with superimposed lambdas, pink triangles, or other symbols. Some r
