Non Binary Flags
Official Non Binary Pride Flags
The non binary pride flag was created by Kye Rowan in 2014. They created the flag to create individuality within the LGBTQ+ community, before their design non-binary was lost under the Transgender umbrella. It was lost under this umbrella because both identities reference gender. Kye felt the that non binary people were separate from this umbrella and separate from the genderqueer identity which had become the symbol for non binary at the time.
