He put together various flags to represent different communities and his creation is known as the Labry’s Lesbian Pride Flag. The first lesbian pride flag was created in 1999 by Sean Campbell, a cisgender gay man. Lesbian pride has always been one of inclusivity, and the sunset flag was introduced because of this. The flag isn’t without critique either, because some lesbians feel that femininity doesn’t have to be an aspect of being a lesbian, as all lesbians don’t necessarily present as feminine. No flag is perfect, but with every new flag that’s made the community comes closer to being more inclusive of all lesbians no matter how they present. Dark orange represents gender non-conformity, orange represents independence, light orange is for the community, white is for unique relationships to womanhood, pink is for serenity and peace, dusty pink represents love and sex and the dark rose represents femininity. This flag includes seven stripes ranging from dark orange to dusty pink which each represent empowering parts of being a lesbian. Previous flags didn’t represent some lesbians, with many trans lesbians feeling disincluded from some other flags. Introduced by blogger Emily Gwen on Tumblr in 2018, this flag was created to represent all of the different facets of being a lesbian. The sunset flag is one of the newest flags in the LGBTQ+ community to become mainstream. Every flag has rich history and meaning when it comes to fighting for lesbian pride and rights. Any flag that you resonate with is appropriate to use, even more than one. The newest flag that’s gained popularity is the orange-pink or sunset flag which came onto the scene in 2018. The community has created and used many different flags to represent who they are. The meaning of the stripes on the flag may be something that’s been causing some confusion as well.įor the record, there’s no correct flag to use related to lesbians.
Maybe you’ve seen more than one flag called the lesbian flag and may be confused about which one is correct.
Honoring your queer identity isn’t complete without waving your flag loud and proud.
