What is the Straight Ally pride flag and what does it mean?

Straight Ally pride flag

This flag was specifically designed for straight allies to wear or wave at pride parades, without presenting themselves as queer. 

The straight ally pride flag was designed in the late 2000s, although the origin is unknown. 

Meaning behind the flag: 

• The “A” shape represents allyship 
• The rainbow colours in the “A” shape represents solidarity with the LGTBQ+ community 
• The black and white stripes represent straight and/or cisgender allies
