A Guide to the Various Types of Pride Flags

Here we have a useful guide that we found on the University of Kentucky website that shows some of the different types of pride flags that represent segments or parts of the LGBTQIA+ community for you to check out - LGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual.
