*Each month we feature a different pride flag in our logo! Our flag of the month is the Pansexual Pride Flag. This flag was created in 2010 by Jasper V. and was shared with the community via an anonymous tumblr account. The flag uses cyan and magenta colors to represent attraction to men and women while using a yellow band to explicitly represent attraction to nonbinary and gender nonconforming people.
