A flag for non-queer people to show that they support the queer community. The black and white represents cisgender and straight allies, while the rainbow represents the queer community.
The non binary, or enby, flag is for those who are outside of the gender binary of male and female. Check out our first article on the subject:
Somebody who uses this flag is gender fluid, meaning that their gender identity changes- some days they might feel more female, other days more male, or sometimes non binary. They also may feel both male and female, neither, or a mixture of multiple genders.
The lesbian flag is for lesbians, or girls who are mostly attracted to other girls. An enby or genderfluid person might identify as lesbian also.
However, there are many different variations of the lesbian flag, and controversial history behind them- many flags have racist creators or negative, outdated symbolism, etc. Here's an article talking about the flag and it's history: Cosmopolitan Lesbian Flag.
Being pansexual means that you are attracted towards all genders equally, or are attracted to a variety of / any and all genders. The pink, yellow, and blue represent attraction to females, enby's, and males.
If you're asexual, also known as "ace," it means that you don't feel any physical / sexual attraction. However, it can be a spectrum, meaning that some ace people might feel some rare varying levels of attraction. Just because somebody is ace doesn't mean they haven't met the right one- there is no 'right one' who they will feel attracted to. Ace people can still be in a romantic relationship. Those who identify as ace can make romantic relationships work, if they and their partner can work out boundaries. The black stripe represents asexuality, the grey stripe represents grey-asexuality (when a person is sometimes asexual or partially asexual,) the white stripe represent sexuality, and the purple stripe represents community.
The aromantic flag is similar and often grouped together with the asexual / ace flag, and combined to create "aro/ace". Those who identify as being aromantic do not feel any ROMANTIC attraction to others. Though, they may feel sexual attraction or engage is fully sexual relationships. Aromantic people can still feel platonic love and have very close non-romantic relationships
Bisexual people feel attraction towards two different genders. Many assume that this means they are attracted to males and females, but it can be a composition of any TWO genders (male, female, demi, enby, neopronouns, xenogender, etc...)
Being transgender means that you're gender doesn't correlate with your sex identified at birth. Because of the lack of understanding of how genders and sexes work, transgender folx remain very oppressed.
Those who identify with intersex are those who were born with genitals, chromosome patterns, or gonads that overlap or do not correlate with their assigned sex or their other body parts or a variety of other things. Intersex people are often confused with and can be identified with "Bigender" which is where you can feel like you are two (or more, but there's different names for that) genders at once. (Ex: m + f, enby + f, enby + m, etc...).
