The Genderqueer flag was designed by Marilyn Roxie with input from the readers of Genderqueer Identities. The flag is Creative Commons Attribution licensed.

Description

The following description was taken from Marilyn Roxie's About the flag page:

The genderqueer pride flag is a Marilyn Roxie design, 3rd and final version created in June 2011, modified from version 1.0 in June 2010, and 2.0 in September 2010. The design is aesthetically similar to the gay and lesbian, bisexual, transgender, asexual, and pansexual flags; that is, horizontal bars of color with special meaning. The meaning of the colors in the genderqueer flag design are as follows:

Lavender (#b57edc): The mixture of blue and pink (traditional colors associated with men and women, present on the transgender pride flag) as lavender is meant to represent androgynes and androgyny. Also represents the “queer” in genderqueer, as lavender is a color that has long been associated with “queerness” , including gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities.

White (#ffffff): Meant to represent agender identity, congruent with the gender neutral white on the transgender pride flag.

Dark Chartreuse Green (#498022): The inverse of the lavender color; meant to represent “third gender” identity, i.e. those whose identities are defined outside of and without reference to the binary.

The three colors are not meant to indicate that any of these identities are entirely separate or opposites of one another conceptually; they are all interrelated as well as key concepts in their own right, and there are more concepts and variation of gender and sexuality present that tie into genderqueer identities than can be listed here. The purpose of the flag is to help create visibility for the genderqueer community and related identities.

Use by Nonbinary.org

As genderqueer is an umbrella term with similar scope to nonbinary, Nonbinary.org has adopted the genderqueer flag as part of its logo. Each of the identities and experiences described as represented by each colour in the genderqueer flag are covered by the nonbinary umbrella. As such, there is a strong argument that the flag also serves very well as the nonbinary flag.

(Lack of) use by nonbinary.wiki

Because queer is a reclaimed slur and some members of the nonbinary community do not feel comfortable identifying with it, nonbinary.wiki has opted to use the nonbinary flag for a logo.

-The '''genderqueer flag''' is the flag that represents those who identify as [[genderqueer]].  While there are different variations, it involves three horizontal stripes of light purple, white, and dark green.  The purple stripe is always on top, but some flags have the white stripe under the purple while other flags have the green stripe under the purple.  The former is far more common than the latter and is now considered the official genderqueer flag, as it is the most recent version.
-Each color has its own meaning.  The lavender is a mixture of blue and pink, colors that tend to be associated with men and women respectively.  The mix represents [[Androgyne|androgynes]] and the word queer, which is often associated with purple.  The white stripe represents the [[agender]] identity, just like the white stripe on the transgender flag.  Finally, the green represents the opposite of lavender and is for people who identify outside the the binary<ref name=":0">http://genderqueerid.com/about-flag</ref>.
