In the meantime, new symbols and colours were added to the original rainbow flag to better represent the queer, transgender people and people of colour: the <strong>Progress Pride Flag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Qasar, a non-binary graphic designer from the US, has updated the traditional flag in 2018 to mark the progress in the fight for LGBTQ rights and to underline the necessity to continue fighting. The Progress Pride Flag contains five additional colours in a triangle on the left side of the flag.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brown<\/strong> and <strong>black<\/strong> represent people of colour and serve as a symbol for the fight against racism.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White<\/strong>, <strong>baby blue<\/strong> and <strong>rose<\/strong> symbolize the transgender and transsexual community.

You can see the following colours from top to bottom on the Pace Flag: violet, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange and red. (Reminder: The Rainbow Flag is the exact opposite, minus one blue shade.) Oftentimes, the Anti-War-Flag also has a <strong>label<\/strong> (e.g. Peace, Frieden, Paix, Pace, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k3r9zx38-19-5c5d551f0b11f54129c94c47e35d30ad\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-19-5c5d551f0b11f54129c94c47e35d30ad img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-19-5c5d551f0b11f54129c94c47e35d30ad .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k3r9zx38-19-5c5d551f0b11f54129c94c47e35d30ad av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-166849 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-166849 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1030x687.jpeg\" alt='' title='pace-flagge'  height=\"687\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1030x687.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1500x1000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-705x470.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2g99i-21-3b2eb56ee749f3e9a8ab645e9e8eb385\">\n.flex_column.av-2g99i-21-3b2eb56ee749f3e9a8ab645e9e8eb385{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 30px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2g99i-21-3b2eb56ee749f3e9a8ab645e9e8eb385 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k3r9zx38-10-6b346a4c5e215e70478d61233161f74e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-10-6b346a4c5e215e70478d61233161f74e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-10-6b346a4c5e215e70478d61233161f74e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k3r9zx38-10-6b346a4c5e215e70478d61233161f74e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-42  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-small-hide av-mini-hide'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-166849 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-166849 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1030x687.jpeg\" alt='' title='pace-flagge'  height=\"687\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1030x687.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-1500x1000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pace-flagge-705x470.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

In the <strong>bible<\/strong>, the rainbow is also a bridge between God and humans. There is a myth in Irish folklore about the peaceful <strong>leprechauns<\/strong> who hide their gold at the end of the rainbow. The colours of the rainbow are tightly connected to the <strong>chakras<\/strong>, the energetic centres in our bodies.<\/p>\n<p>In general, rainbows stand for <strong>hope<\/strong>, <strong>trust<\/strong> and <strong>peace<\/strong>. In the darkest of moments, a little bit of light comes around and turns grey rain into a colourful, magical rainbow. For some people, a rainbow symbolizes a <strong>new beginning<\/strong> and <strong>self-fulfilment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-7-b3efa93ebc2e7cf4e90cbcb0600fb0e3 hr-short  avia-builder-el-45  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-60022e-9-c85561fca4917f380c060e23b4be1d09 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Wave your Pride Flag and express your own sexual identity and orientation or your support of the LGBTQ community!
