Thirty-three flags representing different LGBTQIA+ identities, one Ally flag and one Polyamory flag make up this year\u2019s designs. We hope they remind you that by coming together across groups and bridging borders, we can create change for LGBTQIA+ communities and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-p-2-font-size is-block-default\">Our work doesn\u2019t start or stop with Pride.
