The polyamorous flag was designed by Jim Evens in 1995<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141110021410/http://homepage.isomedia.com/~jene/flag.html</ref>. The blue stripe stands for openness and honesty among all partners. The red stripe stands for love and passion. The black stripe represents solidarity with those who must hide their polyamorous relationships from the outside world. In the center is the pi symbol, the letter P in the Greek alphabet. |
