Description

The Genderqueer flag 

was designed by Marilyn Roxie with input from the readers of their Tumblr Genderqueer Identities. 

By coincidence, the colors are similar to the British Suffragette Flag, which is sometimes used by TERFs online, causing some confusion. The creator of the genderqueer flag had no knowledge of the British Suffragette Flag

The Genderqueer Pride Flag History

 Is a Marilyn Roxie design, modified 3 times with the final version created in June 2011.  The design is aesthetically similar to the Gay and Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Asexual, and Pansexual flags; that is, horizontal bars of color with special meaning. The meaning of the colors in the genderqueer flag design are as follows:

Lavender, the mixture of blue and pink (traditional colors associated with men and women, present on the transgender pride flag) as lavender is meant to represent androgynes and androgyny. Also represents the “queer” in genderqueer, as lavender is a color that has long been associated with “queerness”, including gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities.

White, meant to represent agender identity, congruent with the gender-neutral white on the Transgender pride flag.

Dark Chartreuse Green, the inverse of the lavender color; meant to represent “third gender" identity, i.e. those whose identities are defined outside of and without reference to the binary.

The three colors are not meant to indicate that any of these identities are entirely separate or opposites of one another conceptually; they are all interrelated as well as key concepts in their own right, and there are more concepts and variation of gender and sexuality present that tie into Genderqueer identities than can be listed here. The purpose of the flag is to help create visibility for the Genderqueer community and related identities.
