History
MLM stands for 'men loving men'—an umbrella term covering gay men, bisexual men, and any men who are romantically or sexually attracted to other men. The flag emerged in the 2010s through online LGBTQ+ communities as a broader companion to the gay pride flag. Its colors symbolize community, peace, vitality, those exploring their identity, and unity. The colors are olive green, light blue, lime green, light gray, off-white, white, and black.
