The pride flag at Seattle City Hall is going to look a little different this June! Five new colors have been added to the existing six rainbow stripes. The black and brown stripes represent people of color – and the pink, light blue and white stripes represent trans, gender non-binary, intersex and folks across the gender spectrum. These particular communities within the LGBTQ+ umbrella are often made invisible and disproportionately impacted by discrimination, but are integral to our community. We want to center those communities both symbolically and in daily engagement through our commission.
Thanks again to our friends at SEqual Seattle for funding this flag!
