Toric Pride Flag (2017, diamoricmlm-and-nblm)
Identity Pride Flag ·
A pride flag for toric identity, representing nonbinary people who are attracted to men. The flag was designed by Tumblr user diamoricmlm-and-nblm on October 17, 2017, using five horizontal stripes in purple, lilac/pink, light teal, light green, and dark green, with overlapping nonbinary and male (Mars) symbols in the center.

The diamoricmlm-and-nblm 2017 design is the version most commonly reproduced in nonbinary orientation flag guides. [1] Alternate versions have appeared, including a redesign by Reddit user frcgdad_ in September 2020 and an anonymous wiki user's April 2021 version featuring a Sweet William flower. [1]
Toric is part of a triad of nonbinary orientation terms alongside trixic (nonbinary attraction to women) and enbian (nonbinary attraction to nonbinary people). These three terms and their flags collectively provide a framework for describing the orientation of nonbinary people without defaulting to binary-gendered orientation labels.
Lineage
- Indirect influences
- Nonbinary Pride Flag, Rainbow Pride Flag
The toric flag uses purple and green to signal nonbinary identity (echoing the nonbinary flag's palette) and teal/blue for attraction to men. It is a natural sibling to the trixic and enbian flags, which together provide a nonbinary orientation flag vocabulary. [1]
Colors & Symbolism
The flag represents toric identity, the experience of being a nonbinary person attracted to men. The color scheme moves from purple through pink/lilac and teal to green, with purple and green anchoring nonbinary identity on both ends and teal in the center marking attraction to men. The overlapping nonbinary and Mars symbols reinforce this dual meaning. [1]
