Thepansexual flag is a magenta, yellow and cyan flag, designed as a symbol for thepansexual community to increase its visibility and recognition, and distinguish itself frombisexuality.[1]
The flag has been in wide use since the early 2010s when it was posted on an anonymousTumblr account[2][self-published source][3][self-published source] by its creator Jasper V.[4][5] The flag functions as a symbol of the pansexual community like therainbow flag is used as a symbol forlesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender people and anyone else in theLGBTQ community. The pansexual pride flag is used to indicate that pansexuals have sexual attractions and relationships with people of different genders and sexualities.[6][unreliable source] The theory of pansexuality aims to challenge existing prejudices, which can cause judgment, ostracism, and serious disorders within society.[7]
The pansexual flag consists of three equally-sized colored horizontal bars, which are—from top to bottom—magenta, yellow, and cyan.[8][9][10][11]
Some sources state that the cyan represents attraction to men, magenta represents attraction to women, and yellow represents attraction tonon-binary people such as those who areagender,bigender andgenderfluid.[11][9][12] Other sources state that the colours cyan, magenta, and yellow stand for those who identify as men, women and non-binary people, respectively.[8][1][13]
