Summary
| Description |
The flag consists of shades of blue and azure, symbolizes the attraction of men to each other and the diversity of the gay community itself. Blue and azure shades for the gay flag were chosen on the basis that these colors are used for the symbolic image of men and homosexual men in particular.
The flag has seven horizontal stripes. First top three stripes are coloured in azure gradation from dark to light: azure, sky blue, light sky blue. The fourth stripe is white. The fifth stripe is grey light blue. Last sixth and seventh stripes are blue, from light to dark. The goal of creating this flag was increasing the subjectivity of the gay community as a separate part of the entire LGBT community and the awareness of gay people of their own specific problems - such as gayphobia and misandry (gender stereotypes against men) in general, masculine divergence, demonization of gay men with accusations of child molestation, sadism and other unacceptable perversions, double standards for attitudes towards bisexuality and bi-curiosity, problems with reproductive rights and opportunities (access to surrogacy services, creation of artificial womb and reproductive independence of men in general), a number of countries where only male homosexuality is prohibited, a rigid framework for gentle tactile male friendship and a gender "male box" in general. |
