    "This new flag seeks to take Philadelphia's inclusive approach a step further. Daniel Quasar, who identifies as ***** and nonbinary, designed this flag. The white, pink, and light blue reflect the colors of the transgender flag, while the brown and black stripes represent people of color and those lost to AIDS. 'When the Pride flag was recreated in the last year to include both black/brown stripes as well as the trans stripes included this year, I wanted to see if there could be more emphasis in the design of the flag to give it more meaning,' Quasar explained."
