Flag - Gay

The creator Triton used the original proposed design by Hermy as inspiration and refined the gay man flag colors and added meaning to the different stripes. The meaning was inspired by Triton own research on queer history, his (and others) own experiences as gay men and the original rainbow flag, which [he] love[s] dearly and hold[s] close to [his] heart, this flag is not meant to replace or erase it in any way! [He] would love for them to be used in tandem.

Green, community is the driving force behind the LGBTQ movement. As a marginalized group, MLMs need a strong sense of community to draw strength and wisdom from and take refuge in.
Teal, healing. Gay, bi, pan, and trans men have and continue to face discrimination, violence, rejection, and stigmatization for living their truth, and thus have a deep need for people and safe spaces where they can heal.
Light green, Joy has the power to heal, bring people together, and inspire hope.
White, trans men, nonbinary people who connect with masculinity, and gender non-conformity.
Light blue, love – romantic love, love among friends, and the love fostered by the community.
Purple, courage of all the activists and advocates who have fought for equality and the courage it takes to live authentically.
Dark purple, diversity and inclusivity
