Non-Binary Pride Flag

History

Kye Rowan designed the Non-Binary Pride Flag in February 2014 at age 17, posting it on Tumblr in response to a call from the non-binary community for a flag distinct from the genderqueer flag. The genderqueer flag had been created in 2011 but some felt it did not capture the full range of non-binary identities. Rowan intentionally distinguished the non-binary flag's yellow stripe from the genderqueer flag's green. The non-binary flag spread rapidly across social media and became the dominant symbol for non-binary identity globally by the late 2010s, used in legislation, government forms, and international Pride events.

Yellow represents gender outside the binary; white represents all genders; purple represents mixed-gender or fluid-gender identities; black represents agender identity.
