Bi-sexual Pride Flag
Much of the world is familiar with the Rainbow Flag as being associated with Gay Pride. One generational line is that Generation X - can remember a time when Rainbows were used for kids and Noah's Ark only. If you can remember a time when rainbows were not associated with gay people then you were born after Generation X. You may be a part of Generation Y or I (Generation I can not remember a time before the INTERNET).
However within this 'Rainbow Nation' there are other types of 'transgendered' flags. One being the Bi-sexual flag, and the other being the Intersex flag. The Intersex flag has six stripes arranged horizontally. There are tree pink stripes, two white stripes, and one blue stripe.
The Bi-sexual Pride flag is typically a horizontal tri-bar. It has blue on the bottom and red-pink up top. In the middle is a thinner purple stripe.
Usually gay people are attracted to their own gender. But there are some people in the who seem to have one foot in the gay community and another in straight community. Many people, gay and straight, can not wrap their heads around these so called 'switch hitters.' Apparently being gay or straight for bi-sexual people is a choice.
In a similar tone the intersex flag uses the colours pink and blue. It has six stripes - three pink, two white and one blue. The fourth and third stripe are merged, this symbolically indicates that this personal has both male and female tissues.
Intersex Flag
The intersex are sort of like unicorns, but are not imaginary!
The intersex vary in degrees of a mixed gender. At one end there are men who grow mammary tissue - Gynecomastia.
At the other end there are people who develop both male and female reproductive organs in varying degrees. In the previous millennium these real life XX-Men & XY Women were kept hidden from the public spotlight, due fear and shame. But recently, these people born in between a male and female gender are speaking up.
Society is less judgmental towards intersex people - since they were made that way. But with bi-sexual people, it is a tougher nut to crack since this issue is seemingly behavioral.
"The Intersex" may be the ace of spades for the Gay Pride Movement
