Flag
The polygamous flag was coined by Cryptocrew on January 17th of 2021 at Hayden000's request. In the background, the purple represents the gender spectrum, the dark pink represents love, while the light pink represents consent. The dark purple in the heart represents community, while the light purple in the heart represents unity. The P represents the entirety of the polygamous community.
