i designed a new pride flag for the queer community and shared svg images of it on my repo: gay
Queer Symmetry Flag
The Queer Symmetry Flag combines queer pride flags in an attempt to represent all queer identities in an elegant new design.
Unlike other flags, this one builds onto the Transgender Flag which represents all queer gender identities, and so:
The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives.
A rainbow, representing all queer sexual identities and romantic identities, refracts through the Transgender Flag, symbolizing the interconnections of gender, sexuality, and romanticality, how gender identity can shape sexual and romantic identities.
Brown and black stripes, representing black, indigenous, (and) people of color (BIPOC), extend from the inner part of the refracted rainbow, wrapping around the Intersex Flag, which “symbolizes the right to be who and how we want to be” in the fight “for bodily autonomy and genital integrity” of all intersex people (Morgan Carpenter).[23][24][25]
In some versions of The Queer Symmetry Flag, the Transgender Flag peeks through the area containing the Intersex Flag, symbolizing the interconnections between intersex identity and gender identity, how intersex people can identify as trans-feminine, trans-masculine, non-binary, or something else entirely.
The Queer Symmetry Flag exists in two main variants
- classic style, triangular design
- alternative style, a unique new hexagonal design
There are a few versions of each style, including a simplified version in which the Intersex Flag fills the area containing it.

Clearly the truest extension of this concept is a roumb flag with concentric circles of all the different bands of colour, with intersex in the middle so their circle symbol isn’t misinterpreted as a band. Infinite rotational and folding symmetry.

This feels less like an LBGTQIA+ flag, and for of a ti+ flag (as in trans-inter and some others too ig)
But yes, symmetry is nice

Yeah, looks like a TILGBBBIPOC flag to me.

uh, idk, you could just as well use the Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag and make the rainbow symmetric… to me it doesnt look like a “queer symmetry flag” but maybe a neat intersex inclusive trans flag
but that’s just like my opinion. also: have an 🧅

I’m curious what part of this flag makes it look like an “intersex inclusive transfem flag” as opposed to just trans?

shrug, thats not the point really

Sure I was just curious if I was missing some transfem symbology or something
