Designed by advocate and graphic designer Jasper Vrancken in 2010, the Pansexual Pride Flag is a bold representation of pansexuality. Consisting of three horizontal stripes – pink at the top, yellow in the middle, and blue at the bottom – each color carries specific meaning.
The pink stripe at the top of the flag represents attraction to women. This includes individuals who identify as female, regardless of their gender expression.
The central yellow stripe symbolizes attraction to all genders, reflecting the pansexual community’s inclusivity and recognition of romantic and sexual attraction beyond the binary.
The blue stripe at the bottom signifies attraction to men, encompassing individuals who identify as male, regardless of their gender expression.
