Bisexual Pride Flag

Overview

Page's own statement: "As a result of volunteer work I was doing for BiNet USA, it occurred to me that if bi people were going to be visible at home, pride events and rallies, we needed a Bi Pride Flag!" He gave the purpose as "to maximize bisexual pride and visibility." ^[3]

The flag emerged from bisexual community organizing in the late 1990s, in response to bisexual erasure: the denial or minimization of bisexuality as a distinct orientation. The legal scholar Kenji Yoshino has described an "epistemic contract" by which heterosexual and homosexual communities alike had an interest in a binary framework that treated bisexuality as a phase or a fence-sitting position. ^[4] Bisexual people also met "pick a side" pressure and exclusion from some Queer organizations and events. Page conceived the flag to make bisexuality visible where it otherwise went unseen, the purpose he stated directly: "to maximize bisexual pride and visibility." ^[3]

Designer

Michael Page created the bisexual pride flag and unveiled it on 5 December 1998 at the first anniversary party of BiCafe, the bisexual personals and dating site he ran from Florida. He dated the project that became BiCafe to 1996, describing it as starting "to discover I was not the only bi person on Earth," and gave his own location as Miami-Fort Lauderdale. ^[5][3] He gave his own reason for making it: "As a result of volunteer work I was doing for BiNet USA, it occurred to me that if bi people were going to be visible at home, pride events and rallies, we needed a Bi Pride Flag!" Its purpose, he wrote, was "to maximize bisexual pride and visibility," and it was "for free public and commercial use." ^[3] He took the palette from the biangles, the overlapping-triangle symbol designed by Liz Nania, and explained the purple center as the point where bisexual people "blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities." ^[1] He ran a network of sites under his company The Coffee Club, Inc.: BiFlag.com, BiCafe, the resource hub BiFocus.com, and BiPrideStore, which sold flags in every size alongside stickers and gifts. The design was free while the objects were for sale. ^[3] He worked as a jet pilot ^[6] and mentioned a call taken "while on layover." ^[7] He did not identify as queer: "I have not a thing against those who self identify as queer. I just don't work as a volunteer for a queer movement is all." ^[7] Fritz Klein helped him at the outset, visiting his home to discuss BiCafe and traveling with him to a bisexual conference in Australia in February 1998. He volunteered as a BiNet USA regional organizer from July 1999 and logged the flag's early appearances with photographs on his own site through at least 2007. ^[7] bicafe.com closed in 2012 and he left the bisexual scene soon afterwards. ^[8] BiNet USA announced his death circa August 2016, and no indexed obituary has been located. ^[9] That report is contested: Monica Helms, who met him at a BiNet conference in Phoenix and became his friend, spoke of him in November 2021 as living but deliberately unfindable, "He’s gone stealth across the board," and said he had withdrawn because others were claiming to have created the flag. ^[10] Whether and when he died is not established. Two photographs of him survive in his own recovered archive: his BiCafe profile portrait, and a photograph of him speaking on a panel in Fort Lauderdale on 22 January 2000. ^[7][5] He documented his own activity on biflag.com between 1998 and 2007, which leaves him unusually well evidenced in his own words for a flag designer of this period.

• To create a more visible bisexual community symbol than the older biangles emblem ^[11]
• To give the bisexual community a flag on par with the rainbow flag's visibility ^[11][12]

Stated inspirations

• Bisexual biangles symbol (designed by the artist Liz Nania, who dates the design to 1985) color palette^[2][8][12]

Period in Use

1998–present

The flag was unveiled on December 5, 1998, at the first anniversary party of BiCafe. ^[11][12][13] It became the primary bisexual pride emblem and spread internationally within its first four years, reaching Australia, Italy and Iceland. ^[7][8]

The flag's early spread was tied to bisexual community organizing in the late 1990s, including BiNet USA and the establishment of Celebrate Bisexuality Day (September 23), first marked in 1999 and co-founded by Page with Wendy Curry and Gigi Raven Wilbur. ^[14][8][6] Curry, then president of BiNet USA, and Wilbur helped popularize the flag in an era shaped by "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the growth of online bisexual community-building. Fritz Klein described it as "a most important new Bi symbol" in the BiNet USA newsletter of Winter 1998. ^[14][8]

A historically significant entry in the multisexual / bi+ group. The bisexual flag is not a direct parent of every later multiple-attraction flag. It is a historical reference point alongside pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, and abrosexual flags; available sources support sibling and comparison relationships rather than strict parent-child derivation. Part of the broader post-rainbow striped pride-flag tradition.

Colors & Symbolism

The flag adapts the color logic of the earlier bisexual biangles symbol into a horizontal format with documented 40/20/40 proportions. ^[2][11][12] In Michael Page's original explanation the wide magenta and royal-blue stripes stand for attraction to the same sex and to the opposite sex, and the narrow purple center represents the overlap between them, the color that results when pink and blue combine. Page described it this way: "the purple pixels of color blend unnoticeably into both the pink and blue, just as in the 'real world' where bi people blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities." ^[1]

Pantone specified by Michael Page, biflag.com ^[1]; hex and RGB are later conversions, not his ^[12]

The palette comes from the biangles, the overlapping-triangle bisexual symbol designed by the artist Liz Nania. On her own portfolio she heads the work "Biangles, 1985" and describes it as two overlapping triangles in pink and blue, colors "traditionally associated with girls and boys in the US," with a lavender center for "the wholeness and queerness of bisexuality"; the triangle itself references the pink triangle that Nazi Germany used to mark gay men and that LGBTQ+ communities reclaimed in the 1980s. ^[2] Biscuit gives the same 1985 date independently. ^[8] Wikipedia instead ties the design to Nania co-organizing the bisexual contingent for the Second National March on Washington, held 11 October 1987. ^[12] Not everyone accepted the biangles: Vivian Wagner designed a double crescent moon as an alternative bisexual symbol because many bisexual people objected to the biangles’ use of the pink triangle, a Nazi concentration-camp badge. ^[8] Page took the biangles' colors and overlap pattern by his own account and translated the overlap into the flag's narrow purple middle stripe. ^[1] Later educational sources often broaden the center stripe to attraction to all genders, a reinterpretation rather than Page's documented wording. ^[11][12]

The designer specified the palette in Pantone and only in Pantone: "magenta - PMS 226 (pink), lavender - PMS 258 (purple) and royal - PMS 286 (blue)." He asked that it be reproduced exactly: "Please use the exact PMS colors listed above. If we are going to be effective with this flag, we need to be consistent with our colors." ^[1] The hex values in universal circulation, #D60270, #9B4F96 and #0038A8, are conversions made by others. They are recorded here because they are what reproductions follow, not because Page issued them. ^[12] Nor are they uniform: Library.LGBT publishes #9B4F97 and #0038A7, differing in the last digit on two of the three stripes. ^[11] The stripe proportions are his: 40 per cent, 20 per cent, 40 per cent.

Three horizontal stripes in proportions 2:1:2. The overall ratio is not fixed: Flags of the World records that it follows "the commercially available proportions, either 2:3 or 3:5." ^[15] Wikipedia's infobox gives 3:5 alone. ^[12] Page's own specification sets the stripe proportions at 40, 20 and 40 per cent but does not state an overall ratio. ^[1]

Three horizontal stripes with unequal widths: a wider magenta stripe at top (40%), a narrower lavender-purple stripe in the middle (20%), and a wider royal-blue stripe at bottom (40%). ^[11] No emblem or additional symbols. Current reference sources also support 3:5 as the documented proportion. This is one of the few identity flags where stripe proportions are explicitly documented.

Current Status

active

The flag moved quickly and through people rather than institutions. Page logged its appearances himself with photographs: first at Equality Begins at Home, at the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee, on 22 March 1999, where a Tallahassee Democrat photographer shot it and the image ran in colour on the paper’s front page the next morning; on public property for the first time above a Houston hotel that October, and permanently beside the rainbow flag at a Fort Lauderdale community center in December 2000. ^[7] BiNet USA bought a thousand stickers after the Tallahassee appearance and distributed them nationally. ^[7] It reached Australia, Italy and Iceland within four years, carried by individuals who met on the bisexual listservs: the Queensland activist Wayne Roberts took it to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in March 2000, a set carrying the bicafe.com URL reached World Pride in Rome two months later, and a BiCafe member known as Mosi took it to Reykjavík Pride in August 2002. ^[7] Wendy Curry, then president of BiNet USA, put the movement's size at the time this way: "I don't think there were more than 200 of us worldwide." ^[8]

Discourse & Debates

• The purple stripe meaning is sometimes simplified in later sources from 'overlap / both' to 'attraction to all genders,' which broadens the original framing without acknowledging the shift. ^[11][12]
• Whether the flag's binary color coding (pink for same-sex attraction, blue for different-sex attraction) adequately represents contemporary understandings of bisexuality as attraction to people of more than one gender. Bisexual educator and editor Robyn Ochs is among the most prominent voices on this question. Her widely cited definition frames bisexuality as 'the potential to be attracted, romantically and/or sexually, to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.' Ochs was among the first couples to legally marry in Massachusetts when same-sex marriage became law there in 2004; she publicly objected when media outlets framed the ceremony as a 'lesbian wedding.' Her edited anthology Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World documents the global breadth of bisexual experience. ^[16][17]

Common confusions

• Bisexuality is frequently oversimplified as attraction to only two genders. The flag's original framing used 'same sex' and 'opposite sex' language, but contemporary bisexual activism and scholarship treat the orientation as encompassing attraction to multiple genders. ^[11][12]

Criticisms

• In April 2020 BiNet USA, a national bisexual organization, publicly claimed sole copyright over the bisexual pride flag and its colors, a claim advanced by its then-president Faith Cheltenham. It asked activists to stop using the flag, invited reports of unlicensed use, and threatened legal action. The claim drew immediate and widespread backlash: Michael Page had released the flag for free public and commercial use and had assigned rights to no organization. BiNet board member Dr. Lauren Beach said publicly that the board had not been consulted and that she did not share the view that BiNet owned or should license the flag. Monica Helms and Charley Beal of the Gilbert Baker Foundation both rejected the claim, and Beal noted that a flag as such cannot be copyrighted. BiNet USA's own 2018 statement had quoted Page saying the flag "officially belongs to the entire bisexual community." The organization stopped using the flag on 8 May 2020, and its Twitter account was later deleted. ^[18][9][12] During the dispute BiNet USA also asserted that Page "is not bisexual and doesn't want to be associated with the flag." Nothing located corroborates the assertion, and it runs against Page's own writing about himself: he founded and ran BiCafe as a bisexual community site, described the project as beginning "to discover I was not the only bi person on Earth," volunteered as a BiNet USA regional organizer, and published the flag under his own name for years. ^[9][5][3][1]

The flag serves as the primary visual symbol for Celebrate Bisexuality Day (September 23), also known as Bi Visibility Day, co-founded in 1999 by Michael Page, Wendy Curry (then president of BiNet USA), and Gigi Raven Wilbur. The September date was chosen to fall in the birth month of Freddie Mercury, one of the most publicly visible bisexual figures in popular culture, and specifically on Wilbur's birthday. The first observance took place at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, giving the day a global dimension from its inception. ^[14][8] Dr. Fritz Klein (1932–2006), the Austrian-born American psychiatrist who authored The Bisexual Option (1978) and developed the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid as a multi-dimensional alternative to the Kinsey Scale, endorsed the flag as 'a most important new Bi symbol' in the BiNet USA newsletter (Winter 1998), a validation that carried significant weight given his intellectual authority in bisexual scholarship. ^[14][16]
