What is the meaning of the Disability Pride Flag?
Disability Pride T-shirt
What does the disability pride flag mean? Each of the old and new Disability Pride Flag elements has a particular meaning:
The Black Field on the disability pride flag is a color of mourning. This represents disabled people who have suffered from "Ableist violence, rebellion, and protest." It represents disabled people who have lost their life not only to their illness but also to suicide, negligence and eugenics.
The Five Colors on the Disability pride flag - red, gold, pale grey, blue, and green - represent the various needs and experiences of disabled people: mental illness, intellectual and developmental disability, invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, physical disability, and sensory Disabilities.
The Parallel Diagonal Stripes of the Disability Pride Flag represent solidarity within the Disability Community and all its differences. The diagonal suggests cutting across barriers that separate the disabled from society.
