The “Lavender Scare” refers to the anti-gay witchhunt during the Red Scare. Lavender was used by both Rowan and Roxie due to its historical and cultural significance.

Finally, black (#2D2D2D) represents people with no gender and refers to the absence of all light. Lavender (#9B59D0) represents a mix of manness (blue) and womanness (pink). (It’s also the third primary color aside from blue and red.) White (#FFFFFF) represents people of many or all genders and refers to the presence of all light. Yellow (#FFF433) represents people whose gender exists outside the binary.

While the genderqueer flag is still in use, the fact that the colors share U.K. While the Tumblr page is now gone, many believe Rowan created this flag because some in the community didn’t feel like the genderqueer flag (made in 2011 by Marilyn Roxie) fully represented them. “Nonbinary” is an umbrella term that includes all those outside the gender binary. Created by (then) teenager Kye Rowan in February 2014, the nonbinary flag features horizontal stripes of the colors yellow, white, purple (specifically lavender), and black.
