Thus, in 2014, Kye Rowan created the nonbinary pride flag, not to replace the genderqueer flag, but to be flown alongside it. They called for their own flag to specifically represent the nonbinary community. Though genderqueer is a broadly inclusive term, many people who identify as nonbinary feel that the term does not apply to them directly. Green, the inverse of lavender, symbolizes those who identify outside the gender binary of male or female.
Lavender represents a mix of the traditional pink and blue gender colors. Roxie designed the flag to be inclusive of nonbinary people. In the genderqueer pride flag, the colors each represent a different aspect of genderqueer identity. The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of lavender, white, and green.
