  Bisexual pride flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bisexual pride flag is a flag design representing the bisexual community.
The flag's designer, Michael Page, wanted to give the bisexual community its own symbol, comparable to the successful use of the rainbow flag by the entire LGBT community, in order to increase the visibility of the bisexual community within both the LGBT and straight communities.
Other symbols in use at the time (such as the common overlapping inverted pink and blue triangles) were either not suitable for the same uses as a flag or were trademarks.
