In 2014, Kye Rowan created the nonbinary pride flag. The white stands for those in transition or those who don’t feel identified with any gender. Pink and blue represent girls and boys respectively.

Lena Waithe’s choice to wear the Philadelphia Pride Flag as a cape at the 2018 Met Gala is the perfect example of this type of inclusion. The addition of black and brown stripes to the traditional pride flag symbolized people of color who are often not represented in the queer community. The flag launched in 2017 as part of the “More Color More Pride” Campaign in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Pride Flag came about in response to the demand for more inclusivity across the LGBTQ+ community. The turquoise color was also taken off the flag to keep an even number of colors.
Hot pink wasn’t included in the fabrication of these flags, because the fabric was hard to find as the demand for the flag started to rise. This flag includes the colors red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet on it. One of the most well known and used of the LGBT flags throughout history has been the 1979, six-color flag.
