The Queer Prism Flag
United by history, struggle, and future.
Black:
Represents all colors while insisting that black and brown queers are not an afterthought.
Purple:
Because of the Lavender Scare and to honor all queer and lesbian women, who for generations, are leading the charge for queer liberation.
Pink:
To remember the pink triangle of queer Holocaust survivors, and its resurrection into the Silence = Death slogan of the 80s AIDS activism.
Red:
Because queer liberation and socialism have to go hand in hand, and because the red triangle from the Palestinian flag has become a generational symbol for anti-colonial practice.
As below, so above.
Do your own labor for liberation.
The Community is not just for humans.
The term “queer” does not refer to identity, but rather to alliance. It is a good term to invoke as we forge uneasy and unpredictable alliances in the struggle for social, political, and economic justice.
