Pride week, and I’ve noticed a lot more types of flags flying. There’s the standard rainbow one🏳️‍🌈, but I’ve seen variants on it, and also new (to me) flags.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Here’s a pretty good guide – I was familiar with the transgender flag (blue, pink, and white stripes), and the newer rainbow flag which includes black and brown stripes, as well as the pink and light blue, but I’d not seen some of the others before.

Thanks! That helps. I’ve seen several of these around recently.

Thanks! Yesterday I learned about the rebooted pride flag as our U.S. headquarters is flying it, and our world headquarters is flying the traditional gay pride flag. Didn’t know about the others. Learned something today. 🙂
