It features the six traditional rainbow stripes as well as a new chevron with the pink, light blue and white stripes of the transgender Pride flag and black and brown stripes to represent BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of colour) members of the LGBTQIA2S community.

Pride flags were raised across Durham on May 17 to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia - and some of them looked a bit different from the rainbow flag you’re used to seeing.
