Lambda.org site about all GLBT symbols. Sure, they may not be as ubiquitous as the red ribbon, or the rainbow flag, but they are prominent in certain communities, and it's good to get to know what they mean.
The bisexual flag is the most important symbol. It's more simple than mixing the blue (for boys) and pink (for girls) and a nice purple blend of the two in the middle (purple was also adopted as a color for bisexualitiy in some unofficial capacity). In actuality, the pink represents same-sex attractions (gay and lesbian) and the blue is opposite sex (heterosexual) attractions while the overlapping purple is attractions to both and all (bisexual) attractions. The purple pixels blend unnoticeably into both the pink and blue just as the real world where bi folk blend in with both communities.
