Disability Pride Flag Badge
Disability Pride Flag Badge
Pin badge featuring the disability pride flag.
The original Disability Pride flag was created in 2019 by writer Ann Magill and featured a zigzag design - after receiving input from people with visually triggered disabilities (including as seizure and migraine disorders) the flag was changed in 2021 to make it more accessible. The new design features muted colours and straight diagonal stripes.
The original flag’s zigzags represented how disabled people creatively navigate barriers. On the improved flag, the parallel stripes stand for intracommunal solidarity. The black background mourns disabled people who have died due to negligence, suicide, rebellion, illness, and eugenics. The coloured stripes represent the following disability types:
- Red: physical disabilities
- Gold: cognitive and intellectual disabilities
- White: nonvisible and undiagnosed disabilities
- Blue: psychiatric disabilities
- Green: sensory disabilities
