Most people typically associate the term LGBT with the six colour rainbow flag (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) It was originally introduced by Gilbert Baker in 1978 and has commonly been used as a way of showing identity or support. However, over time new colour combinations have been introduced which relate to specific types of sexual orientation enabling people to express their own sexual identity in a more personalized or individual way. Here are some of the new colour combinations and what they represent:
6 Colour Rainbow – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Blue/Purple/Hot Pink – Bisexual (person who is sexually attracted to both men and women)
Blue/Yellow/Hot Pink – Pansexual (person who is not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender or gender identity)
Purple/White/Grey/Black – Asexual (person who does not have sexual feelings or attractions)
Purple/White/Green – Genderqueer (person who identifies with neither, both or a combination of male and female genders)
