History
The Jewish LGBTQ+ Pride Flag combines the traditional six-stripe rainbow pride flag with the Star of David, representing the intersection of Jewish identity and LGBTQ+ community membership. While Jewish LGBTQ+ communities have organized independently since the 1970s, with groups like Beth Chayim Chadashim (founded in 1972 in Los Angeles) establishing early visibility, the specific combined flag design emerged in the 2010s as a visual symbol of this dual identity. The flag incorporates the full rainbow spectrum to honor LGBTQ+ pride while the Star of David affirms Jewish heritage and connection to Jewish culture and community. The design reflects ongoing efforts within Jewish communities to create inclusive spaces that honor both sexual orientation/gender identity and religious or cultural heritage, acknowledging that these identities are not mutually exclusive.
