What does the LGBTQ+ flag mean?

The LGBTQ+ flag, also known as the Pride flag, is a symbol of pride for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and LGBTQ+ social movements. The flag is a rainbow, with each color representing a different aspect of the community.

Hot pink: This color represents sexuality.

Red: This color represents life.

Orange: This color symbolizes healing.

Yellow: This color signifies sunlight.

Green: This color denotes nature.

Turquoise: This color represents magic and art.

Blue: This color represents serenity.

Purple: This color symbolizes spirit.

Over time, the flag has evolved, and some versions have removed the hot pink and turquoise stripes for various reasons. Despite these changes, the flag remains a powerful symbol of diversity and unity within the LGBTQ+ community.
