e.g. The building manager hung a Progress Pride Flag in their window to show that they are supportive of all LGBTQIA+ people.
The Progress Pride Flag
A flag with 6 horizontal stripes and a chevron on the left hand side pointing towards the right composed of a white triangle, followed by 4 stripes. The 6 horizontal stripes from top to bottom: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. The 4 chevron stripes from left to right: pink, blue, brown, black. The horizontal stripes represent life, healing, sunlight, nature, serenity, and spirit respectively. The chevron represents the HIV+, transgender, and POC communities, how there is still work to be done, and how the wider community needs to center those experiences when we work towards progress.
