The achillean flag has two blue stripes on the top and bottom representing men. In the center is a green carnation. In ancient Rome and 19th century England green indicated gay affiliations. Victorian men would often pin a green carnation on their lapel as popularized by author Oscar Wilde. |

An alternative flag uses a darker blue with a green stripe alongside the green carnation, with the same symbolism. |

The original achillean flag had the same two blue stripes on the top and bottom representing men as the current flag. In the center was a realistic green carnation, but this flag was too complicated for many and could not easily be made in vector formats, leading to the creation of the current flag. |

Achillean, also known as men loving men (MLM), apollian, chaeronean, and chaeronic, refers to a man or masculine-aligned person who is attracted to other men or men-aligned people. This attraction need not be exclusive, as the label is used in a way to unify all men who love other men, including e.g. gay (vincian) men, bisexual men, pansexual men, omnisexual men, and others, promoting solidarity among men of all identities.
The feminine counterpart to achillean is sapphic. The non-binary counterparts are diamoric and enbian.
