Disability Pride

Disability Pride affirms disability as a natural part of human diversity, and its flag represents the disability community while being safe for people with visually-triggered conditions.

Definition

Disability Pride is a movement and identity affirming disability as a natural part of human diversity rather than something to be hidden or pitied. Ann Magill's flag uses a charcoal field crossed by five diagonal stripes: red for physical disabilities, gold for neurodivergence, white for invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, blue for psychiatric disabilities, and green for sensory disabilities.

The muted colours and straight stripes were chosen so the flag is safe for people with visually-triggered conditions such as migraine and seizures.

History

Ann Magill, a disabled activist, created the flag in 2019 and revised it in 2021 after feedback from people with visually-triggering disabilities, replacing a zigzag with straight diagonal stripes and softening the colours for screen viewing.
