Gender Fluid Pride Flag

History

JJ Poole designed the Gender Fluid Pride Flag in 2012 and published it online for free use. The design addressed a community that felt the existing genderqueer flag did not fully capture the experience of moving fluidly between gender expressions. Poole's five-stripe design became one of the most widely adopted gender-identity flags, helped by clear, readable colour logic that could be understood at a glance. It was in wide use across English-speaking LGBTQ+ communities by 2014 and internationally by the late 2010s.

Colors

pink, white, purple, black, blue

Pink represents femininity; white represents all genders; purple represents mixed femininity and masculinity; black represents the lack of gender; blue represents masculinity.

Symbols

five horizontal stripes

The central purple stripe reflects the core concept of gender fluid identity — moving between or combining masculine and feminine.
