This lesbian pride flag was designed by Emily Gwen in 2018, and became the most popular and recognised flag for the community. A 5-coloured version is also commonly used, where the middle orange and middle pink shades are removed.
Meaning behind the colours:
- Dark orange represents gender nonconformity
- Orange represents independence, both as a concept in itself, and as a form of independence from men
- Light orange represents community
- White represents the unique connection to womanhood that lesbians experience
- Light pink represents serenity and peace
- Pink represents love and sex
- Dark pink represents femininity
Beyond the Stripes:
The five-color lesbian pride flag is more than just a piece of fabric. It’s a visual representation of the rich history, unwavering resilience, and vibrant spirit of the lesbian community. It’s a call to action for inclusivity, acceptance, and the celebration of diverse identities within the broader LGBTQ+ spectrum.
