Pansexual pride flag.

The pansexual pride flag was designed as a symbol for the pansexual community to use. The pansexual pride flag has been found on various internet sites since mid-2010.[1][2] It is similar to the LGBT flag, which is used as a symbol for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. The pansexual pride flag is used to increase visibility and recognition for the pansexual community, and to distinguish it from bisexuality.[3][4] It is used to indicate that pansexuals have romantic attractions and relationships with people of different genders and sexualities.[5] The theory of pansexuality aims to challenge existing prejudices, which can cause judgment, ostracism, and serious disorders within society.[6]

Design

Many confuse bisexuality and pansexuality, especially when it comes to differentiating the flags. Each flag has three horizontal bars and they each hold three different colors. The pansexual flag consists of three colored horizontal bars: pink, yellow, and blue.[7][8] The blue portion of the flag represents those who identify within the male spectrum (regardless of biological sex), the pink represents those who identify within the female spectrum (regardless of biological sex), and the yellow portion, found in between the blue and pink portions, represents non-binary attraction;[4] such as androgynous,[9] agender, bigender, genderfluid,[10][11][12] transgender and intersex people.[13][14] The Bisexual Pride Flag also consists of three colored horizontal bars: pink, purple, and blue.[5] The pink portion of the flag represents sexual attraction to the same sex (gay and lesbian), the blue portion of the flag represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex (straight), and the overlapping purple portion of the flag represents sexual attraction to both sexes (bi).[5]
