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

Polyamory pride flag

Polyamory refers to the ability and desire to be in a consensual relationship with more than one person at once. This is very distinct from cheating, which is non-consensual and unethical. 

The polyamory pride flag was designed by Jim Evans in 1995. 

Meaning behind the flag: 

• Blue represents the openness and honesty among all partners 
• Red represents love and passion
• Black represents solidarity with those who are forced to hide their polyamorous relationships from the outside world due to societal pressures
• The pi (π) symbol is a Greek letter, and makes reference to the fact that “polyamory” also starts with “p”
• Gold in the pi symbol represents the value placed on emotional attachment, not just physical attraction
