The colors, which appear on the transgender pride flag created by Monica Helms in 1999, mimic the shades traditionally associated with baby boys and baby girls, as well as those who are intersex, in transition, or non-binary, respectively.Īccording to Dezeen, Quasar included the new colors in a chevron pattern because he felt that “the six-striped LGBT flag should remain separated from the newer stripes as they differ in meaning” and to “shift focus and emphasis to what is important in our current community climate.” The climate in reference being the spate of police brutality experienced by POCs in and out of the LGBTQ community, as well as the rise in violence and discrimination towards the trans community. Quasar also added the colors light blue, pink, and white to represent the transgender community. Since the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was POCs that were largely affected by HIV and AIDs. The black and brown colors of the Progress Pride Flag represent marginalized LGBTQ people of color, as well as those living with AIDS/HIV and those who died from AIDS/HIV complications. Quasar’s design is actually a redesign of a pride flag that the city of Philadelphia launched in June 2017 that features black and brown stripes on top of the usual six rainbow colors.
