Pansexual Pride Flag

History

The Pansexual Pride Flag emerged in online communities around 2010, with its exact origins unclear — it circulated widely on Tumblr and early LGBTQ+ forums without a documented original designer. It gained traction as the term 'pansexual' spread in younger LGBTQ+ communities as a distinct identity from bisexuality. Some bisexual advocates have debated whether the two identities are meaningfully separate, while pansexual communities emphasise that the yellow stripe's explicit inclusion of non-binary genders distinguishes it. The flag has been widely adopted by public figures and celebrities, contributing significantly to its visibility.

Colors

pink, yellow, cyan

Pink represents attraction to women; cyan represents attraction to men; yellow represents attraction to people of all other genders, including non-binary, genderfluid, and intersex.

Symbols

three equal horizontal stripes

The equal stripe width signals that no gender is more or less central to pansexual attraction.
