About the Flag

The blue, pink, and white Transgender Pride Flag was designed in 1999 by an openly transgender Navy veteran, Monica Helms. She was encouraged to create the flag by Michael Page, who designed the Bisexual Pride Flag. After that, it was flown at Phoenix’s Pride Parade in 2000, but it officially became popular around 2013. Helms’s original Trans Pride Flag can be seen in the Smithsonian Natural Museum of American History. This flag is reversible because, according to Helms, “no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives.” If you are looking for your own Transgender Pride Flag, purchase one here.
