Introduced in 1978, the Rainbow Flag is certainly the most widely recognized symbol of the LGBTQIA+ community. Rainbow, Greysexual, Pansexual, Philadelphia Pride, Aromantic, Asexual, Gender Fluid, and Gender Queer Flags shown Pride Flags: Past to Present Rather than bide our time and hope for the best, JoyPixels has joined forces with Fullscreen Inc and launched an entire pack of LGBTQIA+ pride flags - the first downloadable pride flag emoji of its kind - free under a Creative Commons License. Proposals were presented to Unicode in 20 for the Transgender Flag, but it remains absent from Emoji 12.0 (though it is widely expected to pass in 2020 for Emoji 13.0). With only the Rainbow Flag to serve as the solitary symbol for an increasingly diverse body of people, the LGBTQIA+ community continues to petition for the inclusion of additional pride flags.
As emoji have grown to stand as a symbol of representation, one group remains decidedly underrepresented: the LGBTQIA+ community.
