History
This Queer Pride flag is a chevron-shaped variant representing queer people, meaning anyone whose sexuality or gender falls outside straight, cisgender norms; the term 'queer' is both an umbrella for the wider LGBTQ+ community and a distinct identity in its own right. It was created by Tumblr user bizexuals as part of the online community's ongoing reworking of pride flag designs. The colors are purple, light purple, and white, with purple long associated with queer identity.
