Asexual Flag
The Flag for the Asexual Community was created in 2010 by the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. Asexual is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or a low interest in sexual activity, but asexuality can mean different things to different people, it is best to ask each individual what it means to them. For some people, it may mean that they rely on other types of attraction instead of or in place of sexual attraction.
Asexual can be an umbrella term and each color in this flag also represents something unique. Black stands for asexuality. Gray represents demisexuality, for those who develop sexual attraction to someone only after forming a deep emotional bond with them. White stands for the allies of the community. Purple represents the entire community of asexual folks

Bisexual Pride Flag
The pink, purple, and blue flag was created by bi-rights activist Michael Page in 1998. Page created the flag so that the bisexual community could have more visibility in the culture rather than just the rainbow flag. The blue, purple, and pink flag was revealed on the first anniversary of an early website for the bisexual community called BiCafe. Page described the meaning behind his flag as, “The key to understanding the symbolism of the Bisexual Pride Flag is to know that purple pixels of colors blend noticeably into both the pink and blue, just as in the ‘real world,’ where bi people blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities.”
Using the signature pink, purple, and blue color hues has grown in pop culture. For instance, there is a term known as “bisexual lighting”. This is a lighting technique in films and music videos, ranging from the blockbuster film, Black Panther, to the video for the song “Make Me Feel”.
Pink: Attraction to people of the same gender
Purple: Attraction to two or more genders
Blue: Attraction to people of a different gender

Bear Pride Flag
This colorful flag was designed by Craig Byrnes for the International Bear Brotherhood in 1995. The brown and black flag is also known as the International Bear Brotherhood Flag. Byrnes created the flag when he was studying the bear subculture for his psychology degree. Four versions of the design were made and voted on by the members of the community. The modern design was the winner of the poll. This flag, however, has a different meaning compared to other sexuality flags since each color stripe does not represent a part of the community. Instead, the varying brown, white, and black stripes are the colours of literal fur from the bear animal, like grizzly and polar bears.
Bigender Pride Flag
The Bigender Pride Flag is a symbol of the bigender community, which includes individuals who identify as having both masculine and feminine identities. The flag was designed by a member of the bigender community known as "Samuel" in 2011. The Bigender Pride Flag features a set of five horizontal stripes in shades of pink, lavender, white, light blue, and dark blue.

Demiboy Pride Flag
The Demiboy pride flag was created in 2015 by the Tumblr user Transrants. While Transrants did not explicitly explain the colors, the demiboy community who identify with the flag have assigned meaning to them. The flag features four colors, blue represents manhood/masculinity, white represents non-binary or agender, and the shades of grey represents the grey areas and partial connections to other genders than the binary concepts of gender (male or female).
A demiboy, also referred to as demiguy, demiman, demimale, or demidude, is a person who identifies with the concept of masculinity.

Demigirl folks identify only partially as a girl or woman. The demigirl gender is part of the non-binary umbrella, since it doesn’t fit within the binary (male / female) concept of gender. Demigirl folks may or may not identify as another gender on top of partially being a girl or woman.
Pink represents femininity or womanhood
White represents agender or non-binary identities
Greys represent partial connections and grey areas

It’s unknown when, exactly, the flag was created, but it includes four colors: black (representing asexuality), gray (asexuality and demisexuality), white (sexuality) and purple (community).
Drag Pride Flag
Although there was an earlier version of the Drag Pride Flag created by artist Sean Campbell in 1999, it was originally known as the Feather Pride Flag. 15 years later, Veranda L’Ni, a drag performer from Cleveland, Ohio, created this second iteration of the Drag Pride Flag—the one most commonly used now. The flag made its debut at the 2016 Austin International Drag Festival and features a crown and stars on three vertical stripes, each of which has a meaning:
Purple: A passion for drag
White: The blank slate a face and body become when creating drag characters
Blue: Self-expression and loyalty
Crown: Leadership within the community
Stars: The many forms of drag
