Page took his inspiration for the Bi flag from a less well-known Bi symbol called the “Biangles”. He found that people who identified as Bi felt no connection to the rainbow flag, and desired a Bi flag that would represent them and their unique place in LGBT culture. Page’s vision was to create an easily-recognizable, memorable flag that could fly alongside the gay pride flag. Recognizing a desire to have a symbol of their own, bisexual activist Michael Page (co-founder of Bi Visibility Day) introduced the Bi flag on December 5, 1998.
