While you are out celebrating the most colorful month of the year, you may notice numerous flags flown. While the standard Rainbow pride flag is the most recognizable, this is not Lord of the Rings. One flag does not rule them all.
As the #BGNPridePlaylist is released this month, you will notice the graphics, while colorful, stick to a theme, reflecting the flag which each person identifies.

Pansexual pride flag, The pink band symbolizes women, the blue is for men and the yellow is for those of a non-binary gender.
Transgender pride flag represents the transgender community. It has five stripes: two light blue, two pink, with a white stripe in the center.
Bisexual pride flag, the pink color represents sexual attraction to the same sex only, the blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only. The two colors “overlap” to create the purple stripe, representing a sexual attraction to both sexes.
