Overview
To create a biromantic flag that explicitly represents distinct subcommunities within biromantic identity, including varioriented, perioriented, and aroace biromantics.
An anonymous wiki user created this five-stripe biromantic flag on October 24, 2020, and uploaded it to the LGBTA Fandom Wiki. Unlike the earlier biromantic pride flag (which uses the bisexual color palette with a heart motif), this design assigns each stripe to a specific biromantic subcommunity.
Identity & Context
- Represented Identity
- Biromantic people, who experience romantic attraction to two or more genders
- Subcommunity
- biromantic / bisexual umbrella
Biromantic describes the experience of romantic attraction to two or more genders, distinct from bisexual, which describes sexual attraction. The split-attraction model allows individuals to identify with different romantic and sexual orientations. This flag is notable for explicitly representing varioriented, perioriented, and aroace biromantics as distinct subcommunities.

The flag circulates on LGBTQIA+ identity wikis and flag reference sites. It is listed as 'Biromantic Alternate #2' on flagcolorcodes.com.
This flag represents a shift from the symbolic approach of the original biromantic flag (bisexual colors plus heart) toward a more taxonomic design where each stripe maps to a defined subcommunity.
Lineage
- Indirect influences
- Biromantic Pride Flag (Centered Heart, 2016), Rainbow Pride Flag
Related to the original biromantic pride flag but uses a completely different color scheme and meaning structure. The original uses the bisexual pink-purple-blue palette with a heart, while this variant assigns unique colors to distinct biromantic subcommunities.
Colors & Symbolism
Each of the five stripes represents a specific biromantic subcommunity or aspect of the biromantic experience, from the broad definition of attraction to two or more genders through the specific experiences of varioriented, trans/nonbinary, perioriented, and aroace biromantics.
| Colour | Hex | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Purple | — | Attraction to two or more genders. |
| Lighter Purple | — | Varioriented biromantics, those whose romantic and sexual orientations do not align. |
| White | #FFFFFF | Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex biromantics. |
| Orange | #FDB18D | Perioriented biromantics, those whose romantic and sexual orientations align. |
| Dark blue | #17153A | Aroace biromantics, typically in the case of angled aroaces. |
| Purple | #8869A5 | — |
| Light purple | #D8A6D7 | — |
Measured from the artwork held here. [2]
This flag has no official digital palette. Color values shown are approximate.
Stripe meanings are documented on wiki sources and the flagcolorcodes.com reference page. They have not been verified from a direct creator statement since the designer is anonymous.
No values were published by the designer. These are measured from the only artwork held, a JPEG at 1154 by 692, so small departures are compression. Two flag-colour guides give different figures and differ from each other: flagcolorcodes has #8869A5, #D8A7D8, #FFFFFF, #FDB18D and #151638, matching the measurement exactly on the purple and the orange; schemecolor, which this table previously followed, differs on four of the five. One earlier value was not a rounding difference: the dark blue was recorded as #16176A against a measured #17153A, which is a different colour rather than a compressed one. [2] [3]

Discourse & Debates
- Whether the proliferation of biromantic flag variants (heart overlays, five-stripe, etc.) reflects healthy community engagement or fragments biromantic visibility. The five-stripe variant specifically attempted to encode multiple biromantic subcommunities (varioriented, perioriented, aroace) into the design itself.
Common misidentifications
- Multiple biromantic flag variants exist, and this one may be confused with other alternate biromantic flags.
The flag uses terminology from the split-attraction model: 'varioriented' (romantic and sexual orientations differ), 'perioriented' (romantic and sexual orientations align), and 'angled aroace' (aroace individuals who experience some directional attraction).
