Video Download video (MOV 24 MB) IDAHOT flag video Captions Since the 1970s, the classic rainbow flag has served as a powerful symbol of the LGBTQIA+ community . 🏳️🌈 Over the years, new flags have emerged, incorporating various elements that reflect the progress made within the LGBTQIA+ movement.
The Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag, designed in 2021, has a purple circle to specifically include intersex individuals.
Each colour in this flag holds a significant meaning within the LGBTQIA+ community:
🖤 🤎 black and brown = people of colour
🏳️⚧️ light blue, pink and white = transgender and non-binary individuals
🟣 yellow/purple circle = intersex individuals
❤️ red = life, a symbol of love and vitality
🧡 orange = healing, reflecting the journey of self-discovery, growth, and acceptance
💛 yellow = sunlight, evoking feelings of positivity, joy, and happiness
💚 green= nature, highlights the community’s connection to the environment and sustainability
💙 blue = harmony, emphasizing unity and solidarity
💜 purple = spirit, combining the elements of blue (harmony) and red (life) to represent the community’s strength and resilience.
