To go along with my Queer Lexicon 101, I have made an infographic of some of the more common and less known LGBTQIA+ pride flags. Again, it’s not an exhaustive list and will be updated over time. To be honest, for this version one it includes all the pride flags …

Sexual intercourse began/ in nineteen sixty-three/(Which was rather late for me), Philip Larkin memorably wrote, Between the end of the Chatterley ban/And the Beatles’ first LP. I know the feeling.
