💨 Abstract

The South African gay flag, unveiled in 2010, symbolizes the country’s LGBTQIA+ community, blending the international rainbow flag with the national flag’s black-and-white "Y." Designed by Eugene Brockman, it represents visibility, diversity, and equality. Though not an official national symbol, it is widely embraced during Pride Month and beyond, reflecting both celebration and the ongoing struggle for acceptance.
