Lesbian

Flag(s):

This is the Labrys Lesbian flag, created in 1999 and published in 2000. The Labrys is a double sided axe, used by the Amazons according to Greek myth and was adopted by lesbians and feminists in the 1970s. The black triangle is used as, during Nazi Germany, 'antisocial' and homosexual women were forced into concentration camps and made to wear a black triangle, similar to the pink triangle gay men had to wear. The background is Violet due to poems written by Sapho of Lesbos.

This is the Lipstick Lesbian, made in 2010 by Natalie McCray. It's used to represent feminine lesbians, though it isn't widely used as the creator has made multiple Racist, Biphobic, and Transphobic remarks, as well as the fact that it excludes Butch lesbians.

This is the Pink Lesbian flag, made in 2016. The colors are the same as the Lipstick Lesbian flag, though the creator isn't credited for reasons we don't know. We don't know much about this flag.

This is the modern inclusive lesbian flag, made in 2017. There was, at one point, a rumor that the creator was arophobic and acephobic but these claims are wrong. Nonbinary lesbians and trans lesbians are also included within the flag. The colors in order mean:

Queer

Type: Term/Sexuality/Gender

Definition: Queer is a label used by some, but not all, of the LGBT community. It is a general label that can be used by anyone who is not cisgender or straight. Not everyone will use this label or like this term, as Queer was originally used negatively against the LGBT community.

Flag(s):

Some will just use the rainbow flag, or use this as a label on top of others and just use those flags.

This is the Queer flag, made by Pastelmemer either sometime before or during August 2015. The black and white stripes represent those on the Asexual, Aromantic, and Agender spectrums. The Orange and Green stripes are used for those who identify as some form of nonbinary, and the pink stripes and blue stripes represent same gender attraction. This flag isn't commonly used most of the time.

This is the Queer Chevron flag, made by istudyhumanhope in October 2016. The lavender is used due to its history with the queer community, while the white was chosen due to it having all colors of the rainbow in it. The shape was chosen because it's not straight.
