Viade

Viade is an identity similar to gai. It is derived from viado/viada, a word used in Brazil that has a similar connotation to f*ggot (in the United States) or queer in some ways. Viade is a term for everyone that considers their attraction and/or identity viade, including (but not limited to) people who want to express their non-binary identity and non-straight attraction in this way. It is not exclusive to Brazilians/lusophones.

Flag
The flag was created by Tumblr user vitorrubiao on June 10, 2018. The orange asterisk is from the nonbinary symbol, and it represents the non-binary nature of this identity. The color orange represents individuality. Therefore, this symbol represents one’s own strength and reaffirmation of viade attraction. The pink stripe represents attraction to genders/identities related to femininity. The purple stripe represents attraction to genders/identities related to androgyny. The blue stripe represents attraction to genders/identities related to masculinity. The green stripe represents attraction to genders/identities related to neutrality. The yellow stripe represents attraction to genders/identities related to anything else (undefined qualities, xeninity, maveriquinity, in-between others on the list, etc.)
