the bisexual pride flag was unvelied for the first time on december 5, 1998
the pink represents same gender attraction
the blue the attraction to different genders
purple, the resulting overlap of the two color, represent bisexuality and its uniqueness and entirety
bisexual people can have overlap experiences and history with other communities but we are also a separate and unique sexuality and identity, we are not “half straight and half gay” and we shouldn’t be perceived or treated as such. just like we see purple as its own color.
it was designed by michael page who took inspiration from the “bi triangles” also called “biangles”, created by liz nania in the 1985
it was important for her emphasizing both bi visibility and its existence outside of binary AND how we have always belonged in the queer community

I am tired of the “either lesbian or pan” notion about Yang. Like when some ppl stop being monosexist and realize that Yang being sapphic doesn’t immediately mean she’s lesbian, she could be bi, they go “oh, she’s pan then!!1!” Like this crowd finally saw the mutlisexual Yang hype and yet! still deny the idea of Bisexual Yang
i went ahead and reordered the colors a bit to keep the purple in the middle, hope that's okay!

have you guys ever noticed how pretty the bi flag is???
Like, look at it
It looks like a sunset
just
#the sky is bi confirmed
all in all though I'm very proud of bisexuals especially bi women for speaking out against biphobia and not allowing ourselves to be silenced these past several years, these spaces are obviously still pretty hostile sometimes but I think we've made a lot of progress and changed a lot of people's minds.
i'm aware luz's relationship isn't bi4bi, but i headcanon her to have been open to it before (especially since i also ship lunter as well with lumity)
Bisexuality and sapphicism is a gift
