The Pride Flag

Flying the Intersex-Inclusive Pride Flag – or other iterations of the Pride Flag – in our federal buildings supports federal actions and mandates to assemble a diverse and inclusive workforce, in addition to serving diverse Canadians in an inclusive way. 

Visible Celebration flags are a uncomplicated way to contribute to a sense of belonging and demonstrate that your department, agency and/or team celebrates the diversity of all staff. This evident representation leads to inclusion and a sense of belonging, providing equity-deserving groups and employees with a positive feeling of organism recognized, acknowledged and noted.

The Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag can be flown at various times during the calendar year. These dates can include:

  • International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia – May 17
  • International Afternoon of Pink (second week of April, annually)
  • Pride Month (dates vary across provinces and territories, from June to September annually)
  • Public Service Pride Week (third week of August, annually)

There is no directive that states that the National Flag of Canada must be the only flag to fly in the lobbies or other open spaces within Governmen

The Progress Pride flag was developed in 2018 by non-binary American artist and designer Daniel Quasar (who uses xe/xyr pronouns). Based on the iconic rainbow flag from 1978, the redesign celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ group and calls for a more inclusive society. In 2020, the V&A acquired a bespoke applique version of the Progress Movement flag that can be seen on display in the Design 1900 – Now gallery.

'Progress' is a reinterpretation of multiple iterations of the pride flag. The original 'rainbow flag' was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978 to celebrate members of the gay and lesbian political movement. It comprised eight coloured stripes stacked on top of each other to evoke a rainbow, a symbol of trust. Baker assigned a specific meaning to each colour: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic, indigo for serenity and violet for spirit. A year later the pink and turquoise stripes were dropped owing to a shortage of pink fabric at the time and legibility concerns, resulting in the six-colour rainbow flag most commonly used in the first decades of the 21st century.

What do the colors of the Progress Pride and Philadelphia Pride flags represent?

Can you imagine a Identity festival Month without rainbows?

It wasn't until 1978 that Gilbert Baker created the unique Pride flag. Gilbert’s striped flag was inspired by past rebellions, including the American and French Revolution. "I thought a gay nation should own a flag too, to proclaim its own plan of power," he said, according to the Gilbert Baker Foundation.

Today, the rainbow flag is a symbol of joy, pride and the persistence of the LGBTQ community in the face of discrimination and anti-LGBTQ legislation. Over the years, updates are an homage to the past and a gesture toward the future. 

Here are two redesigned flags that add nuance and honor marginalized groups in the LGBTQ+ community.

What perform the colors of the Progress Pride flag mean?

The Progress Pride flag is a reimagined take on the traditional pride flag, which has six colored stripes in the order of the rainbow. The progress pride flag includes inky, brown, blue, pink and white in a chevron design on top of the rainbow colors. 

The six rainbow colors altogether symbolize hope, but have individual meanings:

  • Red: Life
  • Orange: Healing
