The white stripe is adopted from the Trans Pride flag because trans, nb, and GNC men are often erased or talked over and need explicit representation. Have historically used green flowers and plants ( Carnations, hyacinths, etc.) to symbolize our love,
“unnatural” in the eyes of society and in religion. Thought this was important because love between men is often seen as The green ( Community) and teal ( Joy) in the flag represent Nature. Stripe meanings were inspired by my personal research of LGBT+ history, my (and others) experiences as gay men, and the meanings on Gilbert Baker’s original rainbow flag which I love dearly and hold close to my heart, this flag is not meant to replace or erase it in any way! I would love for them to be used in tandem.

This is the old version, I’ve changed the wording because people don’t know how to not be shitty to others & because black on darker purple is hard on some people’s eyes. (Note: You might have seen a different version of the flag with the stripe meanings floating around that has “GNC & Trans Men” on the white stripe and non-green text on the bottom. Many people are unhappy with the current popular proposed flag because of a variety of reasons (no meaning behind the stripes, seemed to be “lipstick lesbian but blue for boys instead of pink for girls”, etc.) so I decided to make a similar proposal to address some of these issues.įirst is that I’ve added meanings to each stripe and to each overall color on the flag.
