i designed a new pride flag for the queer community and shared svg images of it on my repo: gay

Queer Symmetry Flag

The Queer Symmetry Flag combines queer pride flags in an attempt to represent all queer identities in an elegant new design.

In contrast to other flags, this one builds onto the Transgender Flag which represents all queer gender identities, and so:

The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives.

~Monica Helms [53]

A rainbow, representing all queer sexual identities and romantic identities, refracts through the Transgender Flag, symbolizing the interconnections of gender, sexuality, and romanticality, how gender identity can shape sexual and romantic identities.

Brown and black stripes, representing black, indigenous, (and) people of color (BIPOC), extend from the inner part of the refracted rainbow, wrapping around the Intersex Flag, which “symbolizes the right to be who and how we want to be” in the fight “for bodily autonomy and genital integrity” of all intersex people (Morgan Carpenter).[23][24][25]

In some versions of The Queer Symmetry Flag, the Transgender Flag peeks through the area containing the Intersex Flag, symbolizing the interconnections between intersex identity and gender identity, how intersex people can identify as trans-feminine, trans-masculine, non-binary, or something else entirely.

The Queer Symmetry Flag exists in three main variants

  • classic style, triangular design
  • alternative style, a unique new hexagonal design
  • heart style, a unique new heart-shaped alternative design

There are a few versions of each style, including a simplified version in which the Intersex Flag fills the area containing it.
