The Bisexual Flag turned 25 this year on December 5 and it is an important occasion for the LGBTQ+ community as the majority of the LGBTQ+ community is actually bi (not gay, lesbian, or trans). The flag is now ubiquitous in bi circles but it took a while to catch on. The bisexual flag was born on December 5th, 1998. The pink, purple, and blue colors that have come to represent the bi community in their stripes were not new back in 1998, but refashioning them into a very simple flag was a bright idea from Michael Page of the online chat forum BiCafe, a website which ran for fifteen years until 2012 – sadly gone. He took the pink, purple, and blue that was being used as a bi symbol through a set of overlapping triangles – a pink and a blue triangle overlapping and creating a purple triangle as their intersection. Despite this, it was still fairly unknown as a symbol in the wider LGBTQ+ scene, not least because in the days when color printing was so much harder to afford, promotional materials for bi events, groups, and projects tended to be in black and white. But the wave of non-geographic bisexual community that growing internet access brought, and the way pixels cost the same whatever shade they are, helped transform that.
