Summary: Each of the four colors of the Nonbinary Pride Flag represents a different part of the non-binary group and symbolize those whose gender falls outside of and without reference to the binary.


Main Document

Non-binary is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity doesn't sit comfortably with 'man' or 'woman.' Non-binary identities are varied and can include people who identify with some aspects of binary identities while others reject them entirely. While many non-binary genders have their terms, feelings, and flags, some use the term non-binary to describe their gender experience without adopting or using a more specific term.

The Nonbinary Pride Flag

Kye Rowan created this non-binary pride flag at age 17 in February 2014 in response to a call from several community members who didn't feel adequately represented by the genderqueer flag. The flag was created to represent nonbinary people whose gender identity does not fit within the traditional male/female binary. The goal wasn't to replace the Genderqueer Pride Flag but to fly the Nonbinary Pride Flag alongside it.

What The Nonbinary Pride Flag Colors Mean

Each color stripe represents a different part of the non-binary group and symbolizes those whose gender falls outside of and without reference to the binary (yellow), people with many or all genders (white), those whose gender identity falls somewhere between male/female or is a mix of them (purple), and people who feel they are without a gender (black).
