What is the Lesbian pride flag and what does it mean?

Lesbian pride flag

This lesbian pride flag was designed by Emily Gwen in 2018, and became the most popular and recognised flag for the community. A 5-coloured version is also commonly used, where the middle orange and middle pink shades are removed. 

Meaning behind the colours: 

• Dark orange represents gender nonconformity 
• Orange represents independence, both as a concept in itself, and as a form of independence from men 
• Light orange represents community 
• White represents the unique connection to womanhood that lesbians experience 
• Light pink represents serenity and peace 
• Pink represents love and sex 
• Dark pink represents femininity
