History and use
The flag was originally posted in 2010 on an anonymous Tumblr account[2][3] by its creator Jasper V.[4][5][self-published source] The flag functions as a symbol of the pansexual community like the rainbow flag is used as a symbol for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and anyone else in the LGBTQ community.
Design and symbolism
The pansexual flag consists of three equally-sized colored horizontal bars, which are—from top to bottom—magenta, yellow, and cyan.[6][7][8][9]
Some sources state that the cyan represents attraction to men, magenta represents attraction to women, and yellow represents attraction to non-binary people such as those who are agender, bigender and genderfluid.[1][6][7][9][10]
