Happy Pride Month! I love creating my yearly pen rainbow. This year, I chose the progress flag designed by Daniel Quasar to match. I didn’t choose the newer, intersex pride flag because I couldn’t figure out how to represent the purple circle on a yellow background with a pen. This also means I get to choose some additional pens for the colors in the arrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also check out my 2024 rainbow<\/a>, 2025 rainbow<\/a>, and 2025 bi flag<\/a> matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Matching the progress flag means I have two “sections” to match. Following the left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading order, let’s start with the “progress arrow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“Progress Arrow”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In case you aren’t familiar with the progress flag, the arrow includes the white, pink, and blue of the transgender flag; the brown stripe to represent people of color; and the black stripe to represent those lost during the AIDS crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rainbow on the progress flag is the same rainbow as the well-known pride flag first introduced in 1979. Each color has its own meaning: red: life; orange: healing; yellow: sunlight; green: nature; blue: serenity; and violet: spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
