A little history on the flag per writer SHAR JOSSELL on them.us:
The proposed design builds on Daniel Quasar's instantly iconic 2018 Progress Pride flag, which added a five-striped chevron to the left side of the flag representing LGBTQ+ people of color and the trans community. (Quasar's design, in turn, was an update to the city of Philadelphia's 2017 Pride flag, which added black and brown stripes above the six rainbow stripes.)
In Vecchietti's rendition, a purple circle superimposed over a yellow triangle has been added to the chevron on the left half of Quasar's design — an homage to the popular 2013 intersex flag designed by Australian bioethecist and researcher Morgan Carpenter.
The intersex community uses the colors of purple and yellow as an intentional counterpoint to blue and pink, which have traditionally been seen as binary, gendered colors.
There's a deeper meaning behind the circle, too. In a 2020 video for Intersex Peer Support Australia, Carpenter explains that the symbol of the circle is “about being unbroken, about being whole,” adding that “it symbolizes the right to make our own decisions about our own bodies.”
