Non-Binary Pride

The non-binary flag was designed in 2014 by activist Kye Rowan to represent people whose gender identity does not fit within the traditional binary understanding of male and female. It serves as a complement to the more general transgender flag.

The flag consists of four horizontal stripes:

• Yellow: Symbolizes people with gender identities outside the binary system.
• White: Represents people with multiple gender identities, or those who experience their gender as a combination of several.
• Purple: Symbolizes fluid or in-between gender identities, such as genderfluid or androgynous.
• Black: Represents people who feel they have no gender identity – e.g., agender.

The flag has become an important symbol of diversity and inclusion, acknowledging the many ways gender can be experienced and expressed outside the traditional system.

Not necessarily. Non-binary is about gender identity, while gender-neutral or androgynous usually describe style or presentation. Some non-binary people are androgynous — others are not.

It varies. Many use “they/them”, but some prefer “he” or “she”, or even other pronouns. The key is to respect each person’s chosen pronouns.

For some — yes. For others, it means rejecting gender entirely. “Third gender” is sometimes used, but it doesn’t always capture the full complexity of the identity.

What does it mean to be non-binary?
Being non-binary means that a person does not identify exclusively as male or female. Some non-binary people feel like both, neither, somewhere in between, or something entirely different. Non-binary is a broad umbrella term covering many different gender identities.

What do the colors of the non-binary flag mean?
The flag consists of four horizontal stripes:
– Yellow represents genders outside the binary.
– White stands for people with many or all genders.
– Purple symbolizes a mix of male and female.
– Black represents the absence of gender or agender identity.

Is non-binary the same as trans?
Not necessarily – though there is overlap. Many non-binary people identify as trans because they don’t identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. However, it’s an individual choice; some see themselves as non-binary without using the term trans.

What pronouns do non-binary people use?
It varies. Some prefer gender-neutral pronouns like "they/them," others use "he," "she," or a combination. The most important thing is to respect the pronouns a person chooses.

When was the non-binary flag created?
It was designed in 2014 by Kye Rowan to offer an alternative to the gender-neutral pride flag and to specifically represent non-binary people.

Non-binary is a gender identity outside the traditional binary of male and female. Non-binary people may experience their gender as fluid, shifting, both/and, neither/or, or entirely without gender. It’s a broad umbrella term that includes identities such as agender, bigender, genderfluid, demiboy/demigirl, and many others.

The non-binary pride flag features four colors, each with a specific meaning: yellow symbolizes genders outside the binary system, white stands for people with many or all genders, purple represents a mix of traditional genders, and black signifies the absence of gender. Introduced in 2014, the flag is now widely used by non-binary people around the world as a powerful symbol of visibility and inclusion.
