About

The intersex flag was created by Natalie Phox in 2010, and was unveiled as a bigender flag – although it was supposed to represent the intersex community: Phox had mistakenly believed that bigender and intersex were synonymous, partly due to the prevalent societal attitudes at the time which did not differentiate between sex and gender.

It features five stripes, with the larger, middle stripe being a ‘gradient’ between blue and pink to represent the ambiguity of sex characteristics, with the lavender stripe representing the combination thereof.

It predates the much more popular and well-known intersex flag, and for a while was the standard in Pride Flag Guides until the newer flag was unveiled and caught on.

Library.LGBT is an online resource surrounding Queer/LGBTQIA+ information, topics, health, history, and culture, and is an initiative of Albany Pride. Library.LGBT hopes to offer information that is valuable to both Queer and non-Queer people alike, to better understand our community, the identities within them, and our long and varied history. We want to provide information that is reliable and relevant, and above all, free to access and use.

Library.LGBT acknowledges the Minang People of the Noongar Nation, the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work, and we pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging across this great nation, and on the lands we call Australia.
LIBRARY.LGBT is proudly and unapologetically inclusive of the entire spectrum of the Queer community, and pays tribute and honours the LGBTQIA+ generations that came before us, and fought for our rights to exist.
Library.LGBT is brought to you by Albany Pride - an LGBTQIA+/Queer support, networking, and advocacy organisation based in Albany/Kinjarling, Western Australia. To find out more about the work we do, please visit our website. If you find Library.LGBT useful, please consider joining Albany Pride as a member.
