Lesbian Flag Lapel Pin

Created by designer Emily Gwen in 2018, this five-stripe design intentionally moves away from outdated imagery to create an inclusive symbol for all lesbians. Why This Design Matters: The 2018 lesbian flag represents a fresh start for lesbian visibility. Unlike earlier versions with...problematic origins...Emily Gwen's design was created collaboratively with input from diverse lesbian communities.
