History
The Androsexual Pride Flag is a relatively modern flag created to represent androsexuality, the attraction to masculinity or male-presenting individuals regardless of the gender identity of the person experiencing the attraction. While the specific designer and creation date remain undocumented in mainstream LGBTQ+ historical records, the flag has gained recognition within online LGBTQ+ communities as a tool for self-identification. The flag features five horizontal stripes in blue, green, white, orange, and red, with the white stripe typically representing the spectrum of attraction and the other colors symbolizing various aspects of masculine attraction and identity expression. The androsexual flag emerged from broader conversations within non-binary and genderqueer communities seeking more precise terminology to describe their attractions, particularly when terms like 'gay' or 'straight' do not adequately capture the nuances of their orientation. Since its creation, the flag has been adopted by LGBTQ+ communities online and appears in pride flag databases and encyclopedias, though it remains less widely recognized than core pride flags.
