History

The Gay men flag is one of several early designs proposed online to represent gay men—men who are romantically and sexually attracted to other men. During the 2010s, online LGBTQ+ communities debated multiple designs in search of a flag distinct from the broader rainbow flag and specifically tied to gay male identity. This five-stripe blue and green version circulated as one option but was eventually overtaken by other proposals. The colors are light blue, blue, dark blue, green, and white.
