The LGBTQ+ pride flag, is a powerful symbol of pride, diversity, and the fight for equal rights within the LGBTQ+ community. The original flag had eight colors, each with its own meaning: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. Over time, the flag evolved into the more commonly seen six-color version, dropping pink and turquoise due to fabric availability, which includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet .

Numerous variations of the pride flag have emerged to represent different groups within the LGBTQ+ community. These include the Progress Pride Flag, designed by Daniel Quasar, which incorporates additional colors like black and brown to represent marginalized communities of color, and light blue, pink, and white to represent the transgender community . Other specific flags include the bisexual pride flag (pink, purple, and blue), the transgender pride flag (blue, pink, and white), and many others to celebrate the diverse identities within the community .
