The most popular symbol of LGBT, the LGBT pride flag, was designed in 1978 by a San Francisco artist, Gilbert Baker. In its original form, the flag had 8 colors in it but was reduced to 6 short after due to the unavailability of the fabric. Now, the flag has 6 colors that have different means to it. For example, red means life, orange means healing, yellow means sunshine, green means nature, blue means harmony, and purple means spirit.

Bisexual Pride Flag

The bisexual pride flag was created in 1998 by Michael Page to create more awareness about the downtrodden bisexual community even in the LGBT group. The pink stripe is used to symbolize an attractive with the same gender, the blue one to symbolize the attraction with the opposite gender while the amalgamation of these two colors to form a lavender or violet color is to symbolize that one can get attracted anywhere in between the two broad gender spectrum.

Transgender Pride Flag

This flag is actually designed by a transgender woman herself, Monica Helms which was first flown at a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona, the USA in 2000. Helms represented the flag by saying that it symbolizes the traditional colors for boys and girls, that is blue for boys and pink for girls. While the white in the middle of these two stripes is for people who are transitioning and who feel that they have no gender or are gender-neutral and are intersex. “The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it will always be correct. This symbolizes us trying to find correctness in our own lives” she says.
