History
This flag represents Muslim LGBTQ+ people—those whose sexual orientations or gender identities fall outside straight and cisgender norms and who also practice or identify with Islam. It overlays the Islamic crescent and star on the six-stripe rainbow pride flag, asserting that faith and queerness can coexist. Groups like Muslims for Progressive Values have used the flag since the 1990s onward to challenge both Islamophobia in LGBTQ+ spaces and homophobia in some Muslim communities. The colors are blue, green, purple, red, orange, yellow, and white.
