The transgender flag, also called the transgender pride flag, is used by people, organizations and communities to represent pride, diversity, rights and/or remembrance within the transgender community. Its usage is similar to the original rainbow flag but specific to the transgender community.
It was designed in 1999 by Monica Helms and has since been adopted by the transgender community around the world.[1][2]
The design features five horizontal stripes of three colors in the order light blue, light pink, white, light pink, and light blue. There are related flags as well, including ones which combine the "progress" version of the rainbow flag with the transgender and intersex flags,[3] as well as various flags for niches within the transgender and non-binary communities.[4]
Beyond the common Transgender flag design, some artists have created alternative designs used by their local communities.[5]
