Protest and Political Pride Flags

Flags that put resistance, self-defense, or explicit political commitments in the foreground. This category documents political uses of flag design, some of which borrow from political imagery outside LGBTQ+ movements, while others alter existing Pride symbols. Contested flag forms are included when excluding them would amount to suppressing dissent.
