The flag’s black background nods to those who have suffered ablest violence and the parallel stripe’s diagonal orientation depicts how the community slices through barriers while offering solidarity to one another. Disabilities of the physical variety (red), intellectual and developmental (gold), invisible or undiagnosed (pale grey), mental illnesses (blue) and Sensory (green) are all represented by a stripe on the flag.
