Where it comes from

The orange and pink design was shared by Emily Gwen in 2018 and quickly became the most widely used lesbian flag.

What the colors mean

  • Gender nonconformity
  • Independence
  • Community
  • Unique relationships to womanhood
  • Serenity and peace
  • Love and sex
  • Femininity

Meanings are the ones the designers and community have shared. Lots of people make their own, and that's valid too.
