Colour has long played an important role in our community's expression of pride.
Since it is Valentine's Day - a day of LOVE, let's look into what colour flag is used to represent each individual group.
Asexual Pride Flag: Black stands for asexuality. Grey stands for Grey-Asexuality and Demisexuality. White stands for non-asexual partners and allies. Purple represents community.
Bisexual Pride Flag: The pink colour represents sexual attraction to the same sex only, the blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only and the resultant overlap colour purple represents sexual attraction to both sexes.
Gay Pride Flag: The rainbow colours reflect the diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
Heterosexual Pride Flag: The black and white stripes represent attraction to the opposite sex.
Intersexual Pride Flag: The organisation aimed to create a symbol without gendered pink and blue colours. It describes yellow and purple as hermaphrodite colours.
Pansexual Pride Flag: The pink and blue represent the gender binary of male and female attraction while yellow represents attraction beyond the binary.
Transsexual Pride Flag: The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional colour for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional colour for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.
