The Different Pride Flags and their Meanings in the UK

Everyone is different and has their own identity. To allow everyone to showcase who they are, there are a variety of different pride flags, each with their own unique meaning. Learn more about the variety of LGBTQ+ flags below.

LGBT Rainbow Flag

The rainbow flag was one of the first LGBTQ+ flags to exist, and is the common one used to represent equality for all those who identify within the LGBTQ+ communities.

Progress Flag

This is a reworked version of the traditional rainbow flag that was created in 2018. The additional colours symbolises the inclusiveness of transgender people, while the use of black and brown stripes place reflection on ethnic minorities who identify within these communities.

Bisexual Flag

This flag is used by those who identify, and celebrate their identity as, bisexual.

Transgender Flag

The transgender flag is used by those who celebrate intersex transitioning. The pink and blue acknowledge the traditional gender colours that are celebrated to assigned genders at birth, with blue for boys ank pink for girls. The white stripe in this flag represents a neutral identity, and is also used to celebrate those who do not identify with any traditional genders.

Lesbian Flag

This flag is used by those who identify, and celebrate their identity as lesbian.

Asexual Flag

This flag is used by those who identify, and celebrate their identity as, asexual.

Altogether, there are 32 flags that represent the LGBTQ+ community. All flags are manufactured and sold by Flagmakers.

The History of the LGBT Pride Flag

The very first pride flag originates from the first rainbow design made by Gilbert Baker in 1977. Baker recognised flags as the most important feature of identity, and desired to create a symbol of hope, unity and community for all those who identify as LGBTQ+. Since then, the flag has been transitioned to guarantee inclusiveness to all those it represents.

LGBTQ+ flags are some of the boldest, brightest, and most colourful flags we create. Flagmakers are delighted to make a range of pride flags, here in the UK, using dye or hand-sewing applique to create high quality emblems that are guaranteed to catch your attention.

In the United Kingdom, the LGBTQ+ community will fly Pride flags for LGBT History month in February, and in June for the global commemoration of Pride month. Celebrations and anniversaries throughout the year will see all types of pride flags displayed at parades and marches, and for personal use by LGBTQ+ persons across the world.
