What is the Lesbian Pride Flag? A Comprehensive Guide

The lesbian community has seen several iterations of its flag over the years, each designed with the intent to inclusively represent various identities and aspects of the lesbian experience. The latest "orange-pink" flag, proposed by Emily Gwen in 2018, includes seven stripes each representing unique facets of lesbianism and womanhood.

• Orange: Stands for Independence.
• Light Orange: Represents Community.
• White: Symbolizes relationships unique to womanhood.
• Light Pink: Signifies Peace and serenity.
