Leather Pride Flag
Bear Pride Flag
The Leather Pride Flag is a symbol for the leather community, which encompasses those who are into leather, Levi's, sado-masochism, bondage and domination, uniform, cowboys, rubber, and other fetishes. The flag was first displayed on May 28, 1989, at the Mr. Leatherman contest in Chicago. Although the flag is often common in the gay community, it is not a "gay-only" symbol.
Reportedly, gay leather aficionados might also modify a rainbow flag to have a black stripe instead of a violet one.
The Bear Pride Flag is a symbol used by some "bears," gay men marked by an abundance of hair on their face, chest, and body. Bears also tend to be older, and perhaps larger or chubby. The Bear Pride Flag was first displayed on June 18,1995, in Spags, a Seattle bear bar.
The colors of the flag represent the earth and the various bears that live between the sky and the ground. The golden yellow paw shaped sun represents the spirit and brotherhood of bears all over the world. The blue stripe represents the sky; white for polar bears; black for black bears; brown for brown bears; and green for Earth.
