A promotional poster for the Wellington, NZ Bisexual Women's Group in 1991.
the bisexual pride flag was unvelied for the first time on december 5, 1998
the pink represents same gender attraction
the blue the attraction to different genders
purple, the resulting overlap of the two color, represent bisexuality and its uniqueness and entirety
bisexual people can have overlap experiences and history with other communities but we are also a separate and unique sexuality and identity, we are not “half straight and half gay” and we shouldn’t be perceived or treated as such. just like we see purple as its own color.
it was designed by michael page who took inspiration from the “bi triangles” also called “biangles”, created by liz nania in the 1985
it was important for her emphasizing both bi visibility and its existence outside of binary AND how we have always belonged in the queer community
