June is a special month for people belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community. It is celebrated around the world as Pride Month. Across India, many events are taking place this month to recognize and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. A flag represents the LGBTQIA+ community and is usually seen at most of these events. Most of these flags show a rainbow of red to violet colors. This older version of the flag was created by Daniel Quasar in 2018.
However, in 2021 a newer version of the Pride flag appeared, created by Valentino Vecchietti. This flag is called the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag.
Let us know more about this new version of Pride Flag.
The pride flag
There is pride associated with LGBTQIA+ social movements and the pride flag represents this same pride. People from the LGBTQIA+ community have had to fight for basic rights around the world for centuries. Many countries around the world do not accept the LGBTQIA+ community with open arms. Uganda, for example, criminalizes the LGBTQIA+ community in a recent law.
Why is the new pride flag known as the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag?
According to the United Nations, the intersex community is born with gonads, genitalia, and chromosomal patterns that do not actually align with typical binary notions of female and male bodies.
In 2021, Intersex Equality Rights made the decision to update the Pride Progress flag pattern to include the intersex flag. Intersex Equality Rights activists redesigned it, with yellow and purple included as a counterpoint to pink and blue (the colors used to represent gender colors). The end result is the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag.
We decode the colors.
The inclusion of so many colors is not simply a coincidence. In fact, each color means something.
| Color | what symbolizes |
| Orange | Cicatrization |
| Green | Prosperity |
| Violet | Spirit |
| Red | Life |
| Yellow | New ideas |
| Blue | Serenity |
The color red means life. Yellow, as a bright color, demonstrates new ideas. Orange, on the other hand, symbolizes healing. Green, as in most cultures, speaks of prosperity. Violet means spirit. Blue means serenity. On the chevron, black and brown clearly symbolize people of color. The color yellow with the purple circle represents intersex people, while the white, blue and pink pattern represents trans people.
