The Progress Pride Flag does not include representation for people attracted to minors, contrary to harmful misinformation posts on social media. Other posts also falsely link the transgender flag to a flag for “Minor Attracted Persons,” or MAPs (here), (here). They have been added to the traditional rainbow Pride flag alongside black and brown into what is now known as the Progress Pride Flag. The white, pink and light blue were first used in the Transgender Pride Flag designed by Monica Helms in 1999 (here). The Progress Pride Flag does not represent “Minor Attracted Persons.” Light blue, pink and white represent the transgender flag.
