There has been a meaningful uptick in new pride flags since 2010, with variants for intersex, non-binary, and agender people produced.
Marilyn Roxie, the designer of the genderqueer pride flag, told Majestic Mess that the rise in social media platforms and other internet hubs for queer people has been hugely important in leading to the creation of new flags.
'Though I started reading about gender and sexuality right away in my college library the first semester I started there, the online component allowed me to browse through forums and articles and to chat with people who seemed to identify like I did when I was in the process of figuring it all out.' 'Online communities have been tremendously influential, giving people a virtual space to do research on possibilities and especially to find others who feel similarly,' they said.
