The "Intersex Inclusion Flag" most commonly refers to a redesign of the Progress Pride Flag that incorporates the yellow and purple circle of the intersex pride flag.
Here's a breakdown:
Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag:
- Emerged more recently, with a notable version designed in 2021 by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK.
-
Combines the Progress Pride Flag with the Intersex Pride Flag:
- Retains the rainbow stripes representing the LGBTQ+ community.
- Keeps the black and brown stripes to represent marginalised LGBTQ+ people of colour.
- Includes the white, pink, and light blue stripes of the transgender pride flag.
-
Adds a yellow triangle with a purple circle on the hoist (left) side of the flag. This explicitly includes the intersex flag's symbolism within the broader Progress Pride Flag.
Purpose of the Intersex Inclusion Flag:
-
Increased Visibility and Representation: To ensure that intersex people are visibly included and recognised within the wider LGBTQ+ community.
-
Intersectionality: To highlight the intersection of intersex identities with other marginalised identities within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly race and transgender identity.
-
Progress and Inclusivity: The "Progress" aspect of the name emphasises the ongoing need for progress towards inclusivity and recognition of all members of the diverse LGBTQ+ community.
In essence, the Intersex Inclusion Flag is a contemporary evolution of the pride flag that actively and visually incorporates the specific symbol of the intersex community, aiming for a more comprehensive and inclusive representation of the LGBTQ+ family.
