About The Disability Pride Flag

Created by Ann Magill, a disabled woman, in 2019 • Redesigned in 2021 based on feedback to be more accessible • Redesign was a collaboration on Tumblr App/website
The areas and colors on the flag each have a meaning:

The Green Stripe (top stripe running diagonally from top left to bottom right corner) – sensory perception disabilities 
Blue stripe – mental illness 
White stripe – non apparent and undiagnosed disabilities
Yellow stripe – cognitive and intellectual disabilities
Red stripe – physical disabilities
