The origin of the flag:

The first attempt to create a lesbian flag was the labrys flag, designed in 1999 by Sean Campbell. This flag had a black background with a double-sided axe (labrys) in the center and a white triangle. The labrys is a historical feminist symbol used by the Amazons, but the flag was never widely accepted.

In 2010, the “lipstick lesbian flag” appeared, featuring seven stripes in various shades of pink, red, and orange, along with a red lipstick print. This flag was intended for lesbians who took pride in their feminine appearance, but it was seen as too limiting for butch and gender-nonconforming lesbians.

The current pink-orange flag is a simplified version without the lipstick symbol, designed to be more inclusive of all lesbians, regardless of gender expression. Over the past few years, this flag has gained popularity and is often used as a symbol of lesbian pride.
