Genderqueer Pride Flag
The genderqueer flag was designed by writer and artist Marilyn Roxie in 2011. Genderqueer is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity sits outside, between or beyond the categories of man and woman. Many people today also use the word non-binary. The flag has three horizontal stripes. Lavender, a mix of the traditional blue and pink, stands for androgyny and androgynous people. White stands for agender identity. Dark green, the inverse of lavender, represents people whose identity is defined outside the binary altogether. Roxie wrote about the design process in detail. The flag pre-dates the non-binary flag of 2014, and the two are often flown together. It's a common sight at UK Pride events and in queer community spaces.

The colour bar above shows the flag's palette, not a drawing of it: chevrons, circles and symbols aren't shown. Meanings are as commonly given by the flag's designer or community, and some flags have more than one accepted reading.
