Blaxk, Natasha A.; Stern, Alana (June 22, 2016). "9 Queer Pride Flags That You Probably Didn't Know About". Odyssey . Retrieved 23 January 2019. During the internet’s search for a Lesbian flag representative of all, Emily Gwen posted her idea for the lesbian flag in 2018 on Tumblr. The Sunset Lesbian Flag The Butch Lesbian Flag or the blue version of the lesbian flag was created in 2016. Unlike the pink flag, the butch lesbian pride flag has colors: The Venus symbol has been used to represent the female sex for centuries, since ancient times when the planet Venus was thought to be the brightest and most visible of the planets in the sky. The symbol’s use in lesbian pride is rooted in its prominence as a symbol for women’s identity. Nevertheless, Del Rio does point out a common thread between the most recognizable lesbian flags: the color purple. "[Purple] plays a significant role across time and across communities," Del Rio explains. "Lavender or purple has a long history as a color that represents queer folks. There are many, many, many different roots for that. Some reference the poetry of Sappho and her referencing violets, to effeminate cultural practitioners in the 19th century." There was also a slur used in the late '60s and early '70s that referred to lesbians as "lavender menaces." It was reclaimed and adopted by lesbian activists, Del Rio says.

If you’ve been a part of the pride walk, you also must have witnessed beautiful flying flags in pink and rainbow in the air.Murphy, Timothy F., ed. (2000). Reader's Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studies (1sted.). Chicago, Illinois: Fitzroy Dearborn Publishers. p. 44. ISBN 1-57958-142-0.

As one of the largest groups within the LGBTQ+ community, Lesbians have had a long history of flags and symbols to represent them. There is no single, official lesbian flag; there are several which represent the lesbian community. The most widely accepted is the "Orange-Pink" Lesbian Flag.

According to the creator, each color represents a specific trait or characteristic that is generally valued by lesbians: The latest and most widely accepted pride flag is the sunset lesbian pride flag. This was originally designed as the orange-pink lesbian flag consisting of seven horizontal lines with dark orange representing gender non-conformity, orange for independence, light orange for community, white for unique relationships to womanhood, pink for serenity and peace, dusty pink for love and sex and dark rose for femininity.

The prevalence of the rainbow pride flag, created by Gilbert Baker, has made it instantly recognizable as a prominent emblem of the LGBTQ+ community. "A true flag is torn from the soul of the people," Baker told CBS Chicago in 2012. "A flag is something that everyone owns and that’s why they work. The Rainbow Flag is like other flags in that sense, it belongs to the people." This flag was made by a graphic designer called Sean Campbell. The Labrys Flag was published in the Palms Spring June 2000 edition of the Gay and Lesbian Times Pride Issue. The most recent iteration of the lesbian flag is also the one that has received the least criticism so far. Each color has an assigned meaning: red symbolizes ‘passion and sexuality’, red-orange represents ‘courage’, light orange honors ‘joy’, white symbolizes ‘renewal’ while beige represents ‘chivalry’. Orange signifies ‘warmth’ while brown stands for ‘honesty’, according to a Tumblr post by the creator.The " Orange-Pink" Lesbian Flag was created in 2018 by Tumblr blogger Emily Gwen. It initially had seven stripes but a five-stripe version was later introduced, featuring the colors: dark orange, light orange, white, pink and dark rose. More Pride Flags explained Created in 1999 by Sean Campbell, a cisgender gay man, the Labrys Lesbian Pride Flag is commonly referred to as the oldest lesbian flag. "My understanding is he was putting together a series of flags to represent different communities," says Del Rio. There are a few different versions of the lesbian flag, and not every lesbian agrees on which flag is correct. However, many lesbians currently use a newer, more inclusive flag. The first documented lesbian pride flag was designed by graphic designer Sean Campbell in 1999. Published in a 2000s issue of the Palm Springs Gay and Lesbian Times, the "Labrys Lesbian Flag" was included in a series of flags that Sean designed for different sub-groups in the Queer community.
