Pansexual Pride Flag Redesign (Jesse Gunslinger)

Overview

Proposed as a replacement for the original pansexual flag during a controversy over its creator's alleged views.

In early June 2020, a campaign emerged online to replace the original pansexual pride flag (magenta, yellow, and cyan, created by Jasper V. in the early 2010s). The campaign cited allegations that the original flag's creator held transphobic views. Jesse Gunslinger's green-yellow-orange design was one of several alternative flags proposed during this period. The campaign faced significant pushback from the pansexual community, with critics noting that the replacement effort relied on misinformation and that some of the alternative flag designers were not themselves pansexual.

Eventually, the creators of one of the replacement flags acknowledged their claims about Jasper V. were wrong but continued to promote their alternative design.

The flag has not achieved recognition beyond niche design discussions and lacks adoption by major pride organizations or the broader pansexual community.

The original pansexual flag by Jasper V. remains the dominant and most widely recognized pansexual pride flag. Multiple alternative designs were proposed in 2020, including a dulled-down six-stripe version and another by a now-suspended Twitter user (_Dream_Cheese_). Jasper V. subsequently addressed the rumors about her views. A separate wave of replacement attempts occurred later in June 2020 after Jasper V. tweeted support for bi lesbians, which prompted exclusionist backlash.

Colors & Symbolism

Discourse & Debates

• Whether the original pansexual flag should be replaced at all, given that the allegations about its creator were disputed and later partially retracted.
• Broader debate about whether a flag's legitimacy is tied to the character or identity of its creator.

Common confusions

• May be confused with other 2020 pansexual flag alternatives, including the dulled-down six-stripe version and the _Dream_Cheese_ design.

Criticisms

• Critics noted that the 2020 pansexual flag replacement campaign relied on misinformation about the original flag's creator.
• Some community members pointed out that designers of alternative pansexual flags were not themselves pansexual.

Pansexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction regardless of gender. The term is sometimes debated in relation to bisexuality, though pansexual community members generally describe the two as distinct but overlapping identities.
