The purple is described as representing ‘fluidity and multiplicity of many gender experiences’ and yellow represents being ‘outside the binary.’ 9 Intersex Intersex Rowan described the white color as representing ‘people who are many or all genders’ while black represents those who are ‘agender or genderlessness.’ So, Kye Rowan created this non-binary flag in 2014. The creator of the non-binary flag explained: ‘Not all nonbinary people identify as genderqueer, and them using a flag that has largely become synonymous with “genderqueer” is uncomfortable and forces them under a label they do not want.’ This flag is for people who can be attracted to anyone, regardless of gender! 8 Non-binary Non-binaryĪfter a flag for genderqueer people started to circulate, non-binary people called for their own flag.
