Two-Spirit Nonbinary Pride Flag (2Sanon)
Indigenous Pride Flag ·
A variant of 2Sanon's Two-Spirit pride flag placing the two-feather-and-circle emblem over the nonbinary pride flag (yellow, white, purple, black) instead of the rainbow. The creator noted in the original 2016 submission that the emblem 'can also be put on the transgender or non-binary flag,' since Two-Spirit is a gender identity rather than a sexuality. [1]
