Pride flags

The New Pride Flag is a flag designed by Puerto Rican two-spirit designer Julia Feliz, to integrate the historic and modern-day struggles of the LGBT movements with racism.[1] The design contains the colors of the Trans Pride Flag, to which brown and black diagonal stripes are added, and this is then superimposed on the classic LGBTIQA+ Pride Rainbow Flag.[2]

History and symbolism edit

The flag was first released online in the summer of 2018 by Puerto Rican designer Julia Feliz. Feliz is a resource activist, writer, illustrator, and educator with a focus on consistent anti-oppression advocacy.[3] The flag was released as an anti-capitalist design, and was designed in collaboration with the Black and Indigenous trans and queer community. It is meant to be used and interpreted as a symbol for:

  • the importance of trans people of color in the queer rights movement[4] — the Black and Indigenous trans women and other people of marginalized gender initiated the Stonewall riots.
  • the disproportionate violence inflicted on black and brown transgender women.[5]
  • solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community, recognize the effects of intersecting oppressions on Black and Brown bodies and center the most marginalized in its community.[6]

Non-profit organization edit

In 2021, a mutual-aid based United States nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization was founded, committed to use the New Pride Flag design to raise emergency funds and support safety-programs for transgender and queer Black, Brown, and Indigenous people and other People of Color and to educate people on the disproportionate effects of transphobia and homophobia on this same group of people.[7]

Use edit

A large-scale printable version of the design is available on the New Pride Flag website to create fabric flags and other typical Pride items. According to the website the design can be used for free for non-commercial purposes and for commercial use by individual transgender and queer Black and Indigenous people. Commercial use by others requires that 50% of profits from sales be donated back to the organization to support the goals of the organization.[8]

The flag has been used by Tufts University in the 2019 Boston Pride Parade.[9] It was also used in the United Kingdom[10] and by the Amsterdam champter of COC Nederland in the Netherlands.[11] Switzerland's Geneva Pride used the New Pride Flag in 2020.[12]
