Lipstick Lesbian Flag

This flag is commonly used as “the lesbian flag” however it was originally created as the lipstick/femme flag and later edited to remove the lipstick mark, as a result of this many lesbians feel it isn‘t completely representative. There have also been issues with the creator of the flag who was found to have made bigoted comments against Bi, Trans, Butch and Asian women on her blog, This Lesbian Life

New Orange & Pink flag This flag is the new most commonly used flag. The orange encompasses butch lesbians and the pink for femmes, while the white encompasses trans lesbians.

A new lesbian flag modeled after the seven-band "pink" flag was introduced on Tumblr in 2018, with colors 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'. A five-stripes version was soon derived from the 2018 colors.

NOTE: In order to access the "This Lesbian Life" link, you will need to create or have a wordpress account. If someone has one, could you please copy & paste the author's article? I am curious to hear about The LGBT Project Wiki's claims that the author was supposedly "bigoted" towards Bi, Trans, Butch, and Asian women.

The "pink" lesbian flag consists of six shades of red and pink colors with a white bar in the center.[10][11] The design is derived from the lipstick lesbian flag, which includes a red kiss[11] and was introduced in the weblog This Lesbian Life in 2010.[10][12] The lipstick lesbian flag represents "homosexual women who have a more feminine gender expression"[13] and has not been widely adopted;[1] however, its non-kiss pink variant attracted more use.

This flag isn’t as common as the lipstick lesbian flag but many people don’t like it for a few reasons, including: it uses nazi imagery (the black triangle although the point of including it was to reclaim the symbol), it’s popular with transphobic radical feminists (sometimes referred to as TERFs) and it was created by a man, as opposed to a lesbian

NOTE: TERF = Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist

No flag design for a lesbian pride flag has been widely adopted.

The labrys lesbian flag was created in 1999 by graphic designer Sean Campbell, and published in June 2000 in the Palm Springs edition of the Gay and Lesbian Times Pride issue.[1][2] The design involves a labrys, a type of double-headed axe, superimposed on the inverted black triangle, set against a violet background. Among its functions, the labrys was associated as a weapon used by the Amazons of mythology.[3][4] In the 1970s it was adopted as a symbol of empowerment by the lesbian feminist community.[5][6] Women considered asocial by the Third Reich because they did not conform to the Nazi ideal of a woman, which included homosexual females, were condemned to concentration camps[7] and wore an inverted black triangle badge to identify them.[8] Some lesbians reclaimed this symbol as gay men reclaimed the pink triangle (many lesbians also reclaimed the pink triangle although lesbians were not included in Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code).[8] The color violet became associated with lesbians via the poetry of Sappho.[9]
