    Alternative poly flag

    Polysexuality, also spelled plysexuality or polisexuality, is the sexual attraction to many, but not necessarily all, genders. By definition, a polysexual individual is a bigot because they discriminate against people by not having sex with them simply because they are not one of the many genders the polysexual individual likes. Because of this, polysexuality is literally 1984.

    Flag

    The polysexual flag has three stripes, pink, representing attraction to women, green, representing attraction to non-binary people, and blue, representing attraction to men. The flag was created by user Samlin on Tumblr[1] in 2012. They posted a design to the blog fuckyeahpolysexuality with the caption, "I, as a poly individual, was greatly saddened that we don't have a flag...so I made one :P I made it similar to the bi and pan flags, since they're all in under the multisexual umbrella -Samlin".

    The alternative poly flag was designed by an anonymous wiki user on October 21, 2020. It is designed to be easier on the eyes, while also maintaining most of the same meaning. In addition to the original stripe meanings, the lighter pink and blue stripes also represent a-spec ply individuals. The very light green (nearly white) stripes represents peace, as well as transgender poly individuals. It is intended to represent polyromantic individuals, but it can be used for polysexuality as well.

    Etymology

    The prefix poly- comes from the Greek prefix polus, meaning "many".[2]
