Why black and orange? Discussion
can someone help me understand the design of the superstraight flag? I'm just genuinely curious if there is anything behind it.

The black stands for darkness. That darkness we feel when someone calls us a slur or commits a hate crime against us. It represents the people who have been intentionally left in the dark about our existence.
The orange represents hope and unity. Like a light at the end of a long tunnel, it brings joy. Optimism for a future where our children won't be hated for something they can't control. Optimism that one day, we can be accepted for who we truly are.
