Evidence (2023-09-26): Progress Pride Flag: What does it represent? [...] For those unfamiliar with the Progress Pride flag, Yahoo News UK explains what it represents: [...] The Progress Pride flag was developed in 2018 by non-binary American artist and designer Daniel Quasar. Based on the original rainbow flag created by Gilbert Baker in 1978, the redesign celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and calls for a more inclusive society.

Evidence (2021-08-16): The CQCD Advisory Board voted 7 to 2 to recommend the change of the commonly recognized rainbow flag, also known as the Gilbert Baker design with the Progress Pride Flag. This new version includes black, brown, light blue, white and pink stripes, in addition to the original colors of the Pride flag, to recognize and include Black, brown and transgender members of the LGBTQ community. [...] A number of Black, brown, and transgender members of the LGBTQ community as well as organizations nationally are in support of making a general shift to the Progress Pride Flag, saying that they believe it to be key to liberation for the community.

Evidence (2023-03-01): The current progress flag was designed by Graphic designer Daniel Quasar in 2018. The flag builds upon the iconic rainbow pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978 to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. This flag adds on a chevron with five new colors to symbolize progression. The intention of the flag was to show support for the LGBTQ+ community members that historically have been excluded and who have faced maltreatment and at times even persecution. The flag has gained popularity in recent years as many have switched out their traditional rainbow pride flags for the new and more inclusive progress flag. [...] The first progress flag was designed in 2017, Philadelphia City Hall in the United States. This flag added black and brown stripes to bring light to the discrimination of POC within the community. A year later Seattle added pink, light blue, and white to represent transgender individuals. Many found that adding the colors as stripes to the flag reduced the overall message of the original flag hence the colors being put into a chevron pattern in later designs. [...] Although many love to wave the progress flag this feeling is not mutual throughout the entire LGBTQ+ community. A comment section on Twitter regarding the intersex progress flag explains this controversy. Some individuals expressed that the original rainbow pride flag was inclusive enough and never excluded any marginalized members to begin with. These individuals don’t believe the addition of the chevron and other colors was necessary as they think the original flag already sent out these messages.

Evidence (2022-11-13): The Progress Pride flag includes black and brown stripes to represent marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color, as well as the colors pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag. The Progress Pride flag was created in 2018 by Oregon-based designer Daniel Quasar, both genderqueer and non-binary, in response to Philly's updated pride flag. Quasar added a five-colored chevron to the classic Rainbow Flag to emphasize inclusion and progression. The flag's design combines the colors and stripes from Philly's version of the pride flag and the colors of the transgender pride flag. [...] A newer version of the progress pride flag (as seen in the second image below) represents those who are intersex, people of color, and people living with AIDS was designed in 2021 by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK, who added a yellow triangle with a purple circle (the design of the Intersex Pride Flag) to the Progress Pride Flag.

[...] The Progress Pride Flag features a chevron pattern, which Quasar designed to separate these newer stripes from the traditional rainbow colors, emphasizing the need for ongoing progress and inclusion. Here’s what each stripe’s color means: [...] The Progress Pride Flag is more than just a symbol; it’s a call to action. It highlights the importance of intersectionality and the need to uplift all voices within the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who have historically been underrepresented. By embracing this flag, we acknowledge the diverse experiences and struggles that continue to shape the community.

Evidence (2023-06-05): The video, shared on Facebook, shows a man standing in front of a large mural of the progress pride flag. In it, he claims that the added colors of white, light blue and pink stand for "minor-attracted persons or youth-attracted persons, the pedophile flag." [...] The progress pride flag featured in the video, which includes a triangle on the left side with five new colors, was created by artist Daniel Quasar in 2018. It was an attempt to build upon the Philadelphia pride flag, which added black and brown stripes for people of color.

Claim: The Progress Pride Flag has been updated to include an autism symbol (Viral Post, 2023-06-19)
Evidence (2021-06-08): The proposed design builds on Daniel Quasar’s instantly iconic 2018 Progress Pride flag, which added a five-striped chevron to the left side of the flag representing LGBTQ+ people of color and the trans community. (Quasar’s design, in turn, was an update to the city of Philadelphia’s 2017 Pride flag, which added black and brown stripes above the six rainbow stripes.) [...] In that light, the circle that Vecchietti added to the Pride flag isn’t just a statement of inclusion, it’s a symbol of an ongoing human rights struggle. As Carpenter wrote in a 2013 blog post for Intersex Human Rights Australia, "We are still fighting for bodily autonomy and genital integrity, and this symbolises the right to be who and how we want to be." Vecchietti’s new intersex-inclusive Progress Pride flag is also a reflection of recent conversations around inclusivity underneath the broader LGBTQ+ umbrella. Intersex people have long been underrepresented and are rarely visually included in the Pride imagery that is ubiquitous every June. In recent years, the Pride flag has rapidly changed and evolved, first to bring attention to issues facing BIPOC people, then to ensure that the entire trans community was included in a single and more fully comprehensive symbol.

Evidence (2024-09-30): video and photos by Kevin Henry - Atomic Aerials "PROGRESS" PRIDE FLAG? [...] The "Progress" design is more than just a flag or a symbol, it's a message and a movement. Out of it was born the Progress Initiative, to further these goals. [...] quasar·digital started as the face for designer Daniel Quasar’s freelance design and art projects.

Now quasar·digital has expanded into an art business, centered around creating works that are distinct, powerful, and fun.

Evidence (2022-07-01): You may be familiar with the rainbow-striped Pride flag. In recent years, this flag has been updated and expanded to represent the intersectional diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQIA2-S) communities. [...] In 2018, Daniel Quasar, an artist based in Portland, OR, designed the Progress Pride Flag. This flag incorporated the black and brown stripes of the Philadelphia Pride flag in addition to pink, white, and blue stripes in reference to the Trans Pride flag. The Progress Pride Flag has been celebrated by many in the LGBTQIA2-S community for its inclusivity. Quasar’s approach to representing multiple historically marginalized groups within LGBTQIA2-S communities is especially important given the role of transgender and gender diverse people of color in 1969’s Stonewall Uprising, which we commemorate each year during Pride Month.
Claim: The Progress Pride Flag has been updated to include an autism symbol (Viral Post, 2023-06-19)
Evidence (2023-06-26): Has the LGBTQIA2S+ community officially added a purported symbol of the autism community to the Progress Pride flag as of June 18, 2023?

Evidence (2024-01-18): This Pride Month, the Pride Flag has been updated to be more inclusive and incorporate intersexuality. According to The Independent, Planned Parenthood has defined intersexuality as when a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the boxes of "female" or "male". It is natural and not considered to require medical treatment." The ‘Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag’, redesigned by Valentino Vecchiettie, adds a yellow triangle with a purple circle to represent intersexuality. The Intersex Human Rights Australia organisation said "This is one attempt to create something that is not derivative, but yet is firmly grounded in meaning. The colour yellow has long been regarded as an intersex color, neither blue nor pink. Purple, too, has been used for the same purpose." [...] Over the years, the pride flag has been revamped multiple times – in 2017, Amber Hikes updated the flag with black and brown colours to include racial diversity under the umbrella of ‘pride’. According to NBC News, Amber said that "It’s a push for people to start listening to the people of color in our community, start hearing what they’re saying, and really to believe them and to step up and say, ‘What can I do to help eradicate these issues in our community?"

Evidence (2024-09-29): Flags derived from the intersex flag [edit]The intersex flag has been remixed and adapted in numerous ways. One way has been to replace the middle ring with the symbol of another group, to indicate the intersection of these groups. For example, the autistic intersex flag replaces the ring with an infinity symbol to represent autism.[9] Another technique is to inset another flag inside the ring: e.g. the pride flag for transgender intersex people puts the transgender flag in the centre. In 2021, the intersex flag was incorporated into the Progress Pride Flag version of the rainbow pride flag by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK.[10] [...] The Progress Pride flag with the intersex flag (2021) [...] - ^ Gilchrist, Tracy E (June 8, 2021). "Pride Flag Gets Redesign to Include Intersex Folks". The Advocate (LGBT magazine).
Claim: The Progress Pride Flag has been updated to include an autism symbol (Viral Post, 2023-06-19)
Evidence (2023-10-31): Fun fact: The organization who popularised the puzzle piece as a symbol for autism mainly focus on finding a "cure" for autism, they want to eliminate autistic people from society. They promote a harmful form of "therapy" for autistic people that encourages them to mask and can straight up traumatise people. I would feel the OPPOSITE of represented if they added the puzzle piece. If you want to advocate for representation for autism then please use the Rainbow Infinity symbol instead, which is the more accepted symbol that doesn't carry the issues that the puzzle piece does.

Evidence (2023-07-03): History of the Disability Pride Flag [...] The original Disability Pride flag was created in 2019 by writer Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy. Flags can raise awareness and are a symbol of solidarity, pride and acceptance, and the Disability Pride flage has is no exception. Magill had attended an event for the 20th anniversary of the ADA and was disappointed that it was confined to the basement and grounds of an independent living center — instead of out in public. The experience motivated her to create a Disability Pride Flag. The flag featured brightly colored zigzagging stripes over a black background. The zigzag represented how people with disabilities have to maneuver around all the barriers they face.

Evidence (2021-10-25): The Progress Pride flag was developed in 2018 by non-binary American artist and designer Daniel Quasar (who uses xe/xyr pronouns). Based on the iconic rainbow flag from 1978, the redesign celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ community and calls for a more inclusive society. In 2020, the V&A acquired a bespoke applique version of the Progress Pride flag that can be seen on display in the Design 1900 – Now gallery. [...] Subsequently released under a Creative Commons licence (allowing others to copy, distribute and make use of their work non-commercially), the Progress Pride flag has become a blueprint design used by identities underrepresented within the LGBTQ community. For London Pride 2019, a double-hoisted Progress flag, including the colours of the Bi-Pride flag was flown in front of City Hall. And in 2021, Valentino Vecchietti created the Intersex-Inclusive Pride Flag. To respond to numerous requests of redesigns accommodating other identities, Quasar even developed merchandising in which the flag's arrow and background are interchangeable. This initiative shows that even the design of the flag is always a work in 'Progress'.

Evidence (2023-06-29): A post shared on Twitter claims that the Progress Pride Flag has been updated to show a symbol representing autism. [...] A tweet claims the LGBTQ+ flag has been officially updated to include autism. The image shows the Progress Pride flag with an infinity symbol. [...] Although the image does resemble the Autism Pride Flag, as outlined by Autistic Empire, there is no evidence the Progress Pride Flag has been officially updated to include the symbol shown in the Autism Pride Flag.
Claim: The Progress Pride Flag has been updated to include an autism symbol (Viral Post, 2023-06-19)
Evidence (2021-07-27): I agree, but honestly now that this "progressive" pride flag is floating around I don't think there's going to be any getting rid of it and reverting to the original rainbow pride flag because no one wants to actually listen to queer people, they just want to make it seem like they care to look good and not because they actually care. [...] Daniel Quasar redesigned the flag. This flag is typically referred to as the progress flag and it is copyrighted. I would need permission if I wanted to use this flag in a commercial setting. [...] There are multiple flags. This one is to promote community equity regardless of gender identity or skin colour. The LGBT community is far too fragmented and this new "Progress Pride Flag," is meant to help bring it together better.
Claim: The Progress Pride Flag has been updated to include an autism symbol (Viral Post, 2023-06-19)
Evidence (2024-07-29): Several flags have been proposed as an autistic-specific pride flag, to differentiate it from the neurodiversity pride flag. The earliest autism pride flag design, from 2005, was a rainbow infinity loop on a white background, created by AspiesForFreedom[1]. This has since gained acceptance as a general neurodiversity flag[2], and the scope of neurodiversity has widened to include other neurotypes[3]. A consensus has not yet emerged on an autistic-specific pride flag[2]. A notable early call for an autistic-specific flag came in 2018 when AutisticUK posted a proposal of "Going Gold for Autism Acceptance"[3]. One such design features a gold infinity loop on a white background, and has been incorporated into other flags, such as the autistic progress flag. [...] - ↑ Neurodiversity Infinity Pride Flag.
