Showing a pink and blue stripe, overlapping in the centre to create a purple one. As a result of the ratio of 2:1:2, he signifies that bisexuality is not a \u2018half gay half straight\u2019 sexuality. While he designed the flag with these ratios, the flag&#8217;s aspect is not fixed. Also the seamless blending of these colours also shows that bisexual people often blend in unnoticeably within either the gay\/lesbian or the straight communities. He unveiled this at the BiCafe&#8217;s party to celebrate their first anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-26070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/biangles.png\" alt=\"biangles\" width=\"255\" height=\"198\" \/><br \/>While designing the flag, Page used the colours from the bisexual triangles (also known as biangles). Another design showing pink (attraction to the same sex) and blue (attraction the opposite sex) overlapping to create a lavender (attraction to both). Theories suggest the colours represent feminine, masculine and non-binary attractions.
