Common Flags Seen at Pride

A Pride flag is any flag that represents a segment or part of the LGBT+ community. Pride in this case refers to the notion of "Gay Pride" back in the 80/90's. In the 00/10's Pride also recognises the Bisexual and Trans segments of the community with it now called "Pride" or the "Pride Movement". Much more recently the fringes around it known as the "plus", for example Asexuality are also included and recognised. The rainbow flag is the most widely used flag and symbol for the LGBT+ community.

Today the Progress flag is the most adopted flag to show more inclusivity. In the UK, there was significant adoption of it in 2021 following the "Clap for Carers" campaign during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was due to Pride events not being able to be held that year; Rainbow Pride flags were repurposed to this campaign adding confusion to what it stands for.

The terms "LGBT+ flags" and "queer flags" are often used interchangeably.
