Pride Flags

The gay man pride flag was designed by Tumblr user gayflagblog. The flag contains a dark green stripe which represents represents community, a aquamarine stripe that represents healing, a light green stripe that represents joy, a white stripe that represents men who are gender non-comforming, non-binary, and transgender, a light blue stripe that represents pure love, a light purple stripe that represents fortitude, and a dark purple stripe that represents diversity. The shades of green were chosen as green has symbolized gay males in both color and plants such as carnations, hyacinths, and the sweet flag and due to how green symbolizes nature, the white stripe was taken from the white middle stripe in the transgender flag, and the light blue, light purple, and dark purple were chosen to symbolize gay males who are stereotypical, non-sterotypical, and in-between both stereotypical and non-sterotypical.
