Flags and Symbols

The pluralian flag was created by Pluralian-positivity with its meaning being: "The purple symbolizes neutrality, or combination of attraction to multiple genders (as pink and blue typically symbolize woman and man). The white middle symbolizes that neutrality further, indicating a lack of definitive preference or prioritization amongst one’s attractions. The lily in the middle was chosen as the lily is a true bisexual flower; in the sense that it has both androecium and gynoecium reproductive structures, allowing it to reproduce with all other flowers of their species - no lily is limited to any other lily in terms of reproduction. The yellow of the lily’s petals symbolizes, in addition, the inclusion of nonbinary genders in pluralian attraction"[5]
