New & improved: Trans-Centered Full Spectrum Inclusive Pride of Ohio flag. Most symbolism is the same as the previous version, except that the rainbow stripes are divided into 14 or 16 graduated hues using colors from as many Pride Flag variations as possible. Alt text of the image has full details.
Image is a proposed graphic design for a Trans-Centered Full Spectrum Inclusive Pride of Ohio flag, conceived and created by myself, Deb Supelak in 2025. The overall shape is the same as the official flag of the State of Ohio, and includes the same number and arrangement of stars as in the official flag. In the middle of the stripes, there are 3 prominent bands of light blue, white, and pink drawn from the Transgender Pride flag to center the eye's focus on the present battle for recognition of Trans Rights. The rainbow stripes above and below these central 3 are divided into 14 to 16 graduated hues using colors from as many Pride Flag variations as possible (Bisexual, Pansexual, Lesbian, Queer, Gay Men's, Asexual, Polysexual, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, etc.) and include light and dark grays, violet, purple, navy blue, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, teal, emerald green, lime green, lemon yellow, golden yellow, light orange, deep orange, scarlet, crimson, and magenta. The colored annulus of the Ohio flag is replaced with a purple and yellow circular symbol of Intersex Pride. The triangular field behind the stars is filled by bands of 6 different skintones borrowed from the Queer People of Color flag. This field is bounded by black borders on its 3 sides, representing mourning for those lives that were cut short by deaths due to 1) hate crimes, 2) AIDS and other forms of medical neglect, and 3) suicide.

trans-centered pride of ohio flag. original design by myself for an inclusive Ohio flag representing LGBTQIA+ people/ communities. soon t/b licensed under creative commons with attribution & share alike required + derivatives permitted. Flag in the shape of Ohio's burgee follows the official proportions, and incorporates 6 rainbow stripes around 3 stripes of the trans rights flag, bounded by strips of gray in honor of asexual identities. the triangular field is shaded in a range of skintones borrowed from the Queer People of Color flag, with yellow and purple rings from the Intersex Pride flag. The triangle is bordered in black, mourning the untimely deaths of LGBTQIA+ people to hate crime violence, suicides, and diseases such as AIDS or other forms of systemic medical neglect.
