Introduction

Polysexuality is the term for the attraction towards people of many genders, i.e. more than two, but not all. [1][2]

Description and origin of the flag

The flag representing such orientation(s) was designed by Tumblr user Samlin and introduced on 11 July 2012. [1][2] It is a pink-green-blue tricolor, which is supposed to represent all genders: pink color stands for females, blue for males, and green for non-binary (e.g. androgynous, agender, bigender, genderfluid, transgender, intersex) people. The flag is modelled after the flags representing bisexuality and pansexuality, clearly borrowing the shades of pink and blue from the latter of those, while the shade of green is close to FOTW color V--. While its online use has spread to a considerable presence so far, the examples from real life are still very few, the oldest currently recorded one being from the Chicago Pride 2017 [3]. In Israel, it was hoisted in Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv together with many other sexual orientation flags in early June 2018 [4], possibly in honor of the Tel Aviv Pride, which traditionally takes place at that time every year. In Berlin, Germany, the flag was used, together with those representing bisexuality and pansexuality, at the Christopher Street Day 2019.[5][6][7][8][9]
