Microsoft Releases New PRIDE Flag Ft. 40 LGBTQIA+ ‘Communities’,inc: Aceflux, Graysexual, Maverique and Trigender
Microsoft has proudly designed a new flag, and it’s about as gaudy and garish as they come. Created by the LGBTQIA+ people at Microsoft and released as an open source image, the flag represents “40 different individual LGBTQIA+ communities with one powerful graphic that reflects a message of unity, solidarity and intersectionality.”
In a message from the Microsoft design team, they explain that the flag was created to “advance LGBTQIA+ visibility and representation” and continually expand, adding new segments to the flag as new groups emerge.
This flag combines 40 different flags from LGBTQIA+ communities around the world, including: Abrosexual, Aceflux, Agender, Ambiamorous, Androgynous, Aroace, Aroflux, Aromantic, Asexual, Bigender, Bisexual, Demifluid, Demigender, Demigirl, Demiromantic, Demisexual, Gay/MLM/Vinician, Genderfluid, Genderflux, Genderqueer, Gender questioning, Graysexual, Intersex, Lesbian, Maverique, Neutrois, Nonbinary, Omnisexual, Pangender, Pansexual, Polyamorous, Polysexual, Transgender, Trigender, Two Spirit, Progress Pride, Queer, Unlabeled.
Genderfandom helps explain some of the more curious additions:
Aceflux is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum. It is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum
Graysexuality describes people who are largely asexual but still occasionally have sex. Within the subculture, there exists a gynesexual gray-biromantic person: someone usually sexually attracted to women or feminine-presenting people; rarely experience romantic attraction towards more than one gender.
Maverique is a term to describe those whose gender exists outside of binary completely. It exists on its own plane of gender, separate from all others. It is a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent. However, maveriques can be multigender with their other genders being related to maleness, femaleness, or neutrality.
Trigender is a gender identity which can be literally translated as ‘three genders’ or ‘triple gender’. Trigender people experience exactly three gender identities, either simultaneously or varying between them. These three gender identities can be male, female and/or any non-binary identities
It’s all theater and rebellion against God’s created order, and it’s only getting worse.
Bonus: Never forget this list of extra made-up genders
