Flag design
[edit | edit source]
In 2018, Quasar re-designed the existing rainbow flag to incorporate the transgender flag, as well as black and brown stripes to represent LGBTQ+ people of color, with the black stripe having an additional meaning for "those living with AIDS, those no longer living, and the stigma surrounding them".[3][4][5][6] The additional colors were added in a chevron shape along the hoist to represent forward movement.[3] They began a crowdfunding campaign to fund the first production of the flags.[6] In 2021, Deliveroo adopted the progress pride flag for Pride Month.[7] The flag has been flown in many international cities above official buildings, including New York City, London, Boston, and Sydney.[8]
