About the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag
The Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag was created by Valentino Vecchietti (she/her) in 2021 and subsequently became a global viral sensation. It is a SOGIESC inclusive flag, representing persons with diverse sexual orientations, diverse gender identities and expressions, and those with diverse sex characteristics. Diverse sex characteristics refer to the intersex community. Sex characteristics are a new category not previously included in our global Pride flag. Vecchietti’s flag also updated the rainbow stripes to explicitly include representation of diverse orientations such as asexual and aromantic. This Pride flag respects and includes the intentions of the previous iterations of the Pride flags and includes representation for black, brown, people of colour, and Indigenous populations in the LGBTI+ community. As well as recognizing the continued stigma surrounding those living with HIV/AIDS and those we have lost to HIV/AIDS. Vecchiett’s Pride flag reflects the SOGIESC international human rights law: Yogyakarta Principles +10.
