The iconic rainbow flag has become a well-known symbol for LGBTQ+ pride, but did you know that there is a whole catalog of LGBTQ+ Pride flags that represent the diverse identities in this community? 

Just like someone from a different state or country — or sports fan — might want to fly a specific flag to represent their identity, the same goes for people in the LGBTQ+ community! And it certainly doesn’t need to be Pride Month to embrace these banners.

One of these is the Androgyne Pride Flag, which flies as a symbol of community and representation for androgyne folks everywhere. 

Here’s what you need to know about the Androgyne Pride Flag.

About the Androgyne Pride Flag

History

The Androgyne Pride Flag is believed to have been designed and introduced in 2014 by Tumblr user @saveferris. 

The flag’s three vertical stripes represent the unique experience of androgynous individuals, who express or identify with both masculine and feminine characteristics.

Colors

The colors of the Androgyne Pride Flag each represent a different concept: 

  • Pink: Represents femininity, acknowledging the spectrum of female-identified and feminine-presenting individuals
  • Purple: Represents androgyny as a combination of the two colors
  • Blue: Represents masculinity, acknowledging the spectrum of male-identified and masculine-presenting individuals

What Does ‘Androgyne’ Mean?

Someone who has the gender identity of ‘androgyne’ has a gender that is a mix of both ‘man’ and ‘woman’ binary genders.

However, the individual meaning of this can vary. For instance, someone who is androgyne may describe their experience as being “between” man and woman or masculine and feminine. They may also lean more toward being nonbinary, identifying as neither feminine nor masculine.

Historically, people have used terms like ‘bisexual’ to refer to androgynous people, but the androgyne identifier creates a more specific term for someone’s gender identity that goes beyond their sexual orientation or biological sex assigned at birth.
