Summary: Information, image, and color codes of the Pansexual Pride Flag, a symbol for the pansexuality community adopted in 2010 to distinguish the pansexual community from the bisexual community.

Main Document

The Pansexual Pride Flag consists of pink, yellow, and blue stripes and does not generally use the Pansexual symbol in its design. It was first created in 2010, but it is still being determined who the original designer was. The purpose of the Pansexual flag design was to separate the pansexual community from the bisexual community because the two are often confused with one another.

What the Pansexual Flag Colors Mean

The meaning of the color striped is commonly considered as follows:

• The pink (at the top) represents those who identify as female (regardless of biological sex).
• The yellow (middle stripe) represents those who identify as both genders, neither gender nor third gender, such as genderqueer and agender. The yellow also represents the non-binary attraction between the male and female genders.
• The blue portion of the flag (bottom) represents those who identify as male (regardless of biological sex).

A slightly different interpretation of the colors refers to the pink and the blue, respectively representing the "female spectrum" and the "male spectrum" of the usual gender binary, with the yellow representing non-binary attraction, as well as "life and happiness."

The Pansexual Pride Flag features three stripes, pink, yellow, and blue.
