History
The Sapphic flag is a pride flag used to represent sapphic individuals, a term encompassing women and non-binary people who are attracted to women. The flag's design features five horizontal stripes in shades of orange, pink, and white. While the exact origins and designer of the Sapphic flag remain unclear, it emerged within online LGBTQ+ communities as a distinct symbol separate from the broader lesbian flag, allowing for more nuanced representation within sapphic identity spaces. The flag gained recognition through community adoption and use on social media platforms and at pride events throughout the 2010s and 2020s.
