PRIDE FLAG GUIDE

Abrosexual Pride Flag

Abrosexual is a term that describes a kind of sexual fluidity. Someone who's abrosexual finds that their sexual attraction shifts often: they might identify with the term 'gay,' and later feel attracted to people of all genders, and then feel little to no sexual attraction at all. An abrosexual individual may function as one sexual orientation today and as another tomorrow. The timeframe or frequency of change in sexual orientation doesn’t matter, and it could be hours or years before they identify as different sexuality. The abrosexual flag was created by Mod Chad of pride flags-for-us after an anonymous Tumblr user requested it. It is also thought that the flag and the term originated on DeviantArt in 2013 and later gained recognition on Tumblr.

Bootblack Pride Flag:

After a two year debate within the community, on July 4th, 2005 Jesse 'Spanky' Penley came up with a design that would eventually become the accepted Boot Black Pride Flag.

The flag is reported to have premiered at the International LeatherSir / International Leatherboy event in Atlanta, Georgia in 2005.
Spanky used a diagonal stripe to differentiate from the leather pride flag. The width of the stripes, signify the wide range of people who are, and appreciate boot blacks. The unisex boot, stands for the non-gender specific nature of boot blacking. The large red heart signifies the heart that the bootblack puts behind his or her boots.

Leather Boy/Boi Pride Flag:

The Leather Boy/Boi Pride flag is meant to represent Boys/Bois, a subgroup of the leather subculture. The word originally denoted younger and submissive gay men with an appreciation for older and dominant men (these being called Sirs, Masters or Dads), who were often newcomers to the community as well. The flag is reported to have been designed by boy Keith in 1999 after meeting Leather Pride Flag designer Tony DeBlase.
The design is based upon the Leather Pride Flag, the diagonal lines imply a power spectrum from top to bottom and the green color is the hanky code color for Daddy/boy. First officially used by DC Boys of Leather in 1998.

Leather Girl / Grrl Pride Flag:

Sheryl D created the Leather Girl Flag in November 2003. In the same year it also had its first unveiling at the Ms. San Diego Leather Contest. The flag is meant to represent those in the community who have a desire for leather and BDSM.Modeled after the Boy Pride Flag, the Girl Pride Flag is meant to represent the feminine counterpart to leather boy/boi subculture. Often describing younger acting feminine persons in a submissive role to an older (or parental/ caretaker role) dominant of any gender.

Neurodivergent Pride:

The neurodiversity features the iconic rainbow infinity mobius strip symbol on a white background. The rainbow infinity symbol symbolizes the great diversity in the Autistic community, and is widely used to represent the larger neurodiversity community beyond autism, such as ADHD and dyslexia.

Autistic Pride:

The Austistic pride symbol represents autism as a unique kind of neurodiversity. The gold infinity symbol was created to replace the classic puzzle piece used by those who often see autism as an illness to be eradicated. Created by Autistic folx, for Autistic folx to be proud of their disabilities, strengths, and differences from allistics (non-autistic people), this symbol represents the fight for acceptance rather than erasure.
