Story and Usage Notes
The Progress Pride Flag was designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018. It keeps the six-colour Rainbow Pride base and adds a chevron at the hoist using black and brown stripes for LGBTQ+ people of colour and pink, light blue and white from the Transgender Pride Flag. The arrow-like shape points forward while staying at the hoist, signalling that progress is still needed.
