Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag

Event details

Date: 11 May – 18 May 2026

Location:

This week, the Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride flag will fly at each Australian campus in recognition of IDAHOBIT on May 17.

Pride flags have evolved over decades, with the first rainbow flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. Since then, following iterations have sought to represent the diversity of LGBTIQA+ communities through the additions of new colours and symbols.

The Pride flag we fly today was adapted by Valentino Vecchietti in 2021, and incorporates aspects of other community flags. The yellow flag with a purple circle on the left represents Intersex communities; the white, pink and blue in the chevron represent transgender communities; the brown and black stripes represent communities of colour; and the chevron itself symbolises forward movement and progress. The rainbow stripes on the remainder of the flag originate from the Traditional Pride flag designed in the 70s.

The use and meaning of the Pride flag will vary for different people and different communities, but is largely seen now as a symbol of pride and allyship - which is why we have it flying at each of our campuses this IDAHOBIT.

You can visit the Pride Flag at each of the Australian campuses.
