Happy Trans 🏳️⚧️ Flag Day! 💙🩷🤍
Over 27 years ago, Monica Helms created and designed the iconic transgender pride flag. It made its first appearance at Phoenix Pride, becoming a powerful symbol of transgender pride, visibility, and resilience.
More than a decade ago, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History accepted Helms’ original flag into its collection, preserving an important piece of LGBTQIA history for generations to come.
Today, we celebrate the flag, and the people, history, and community it represents. 🏳️⚧️💙🩷🤍
