The Flag
Monica Helms, an American trans woman created the flag in 1999
Monica Helms describes the meaning of the flag as:
“The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.”
- First Pride Festival: Phoenix Arizona in 2000
- First time flown in public: San Francisco’s Castro District on November 19 and 20, 2012
- 2015: Philadelphia was the first county government in the U.S. to raise the transgender flag. It was raised at City Hall
- January 2019, Virginia Representative Jennifer Wexton, hung the flag outside her office in Washington, D.C.
