✍️ The Design: Created in 1998 by Michael Page, the bisexual pride flag was designed to give the bisexual community its own distinct emblem to increase visibility in the broader LGBTQ+ movement. The layout features three horizontal stripes: a magenta-pink stripe on top, a royal blue stripe on the bottom, and a narrower lavender-purple stripe in the middle.
Each stripe holds specific meaning regarding attraction across the gender spectrum:
🩷 The top pink stripe represents attraction to people of the same gender identity (homosexuality).
💜 The middle purple stripe represents attraction across two or more genders (bisexuality).
💙 The bottom blue stripe represents attraction to people of a different gender identity (heterosexuality).
The way the purple stripe blends between the pink and blue represents how bisexual individuals navigate and blend between both heterosexual and homosexual spaces.
