Flags
The flags were coined by tumblr users snapbacksteben and thehollowkidvg. The flag meanings are as follows:
Black: Solidarity & pride with those who hide those relationships from the outside world due to societal pressures.
Red: Sexual desire, sexuality, intensity and passion.
Blue: The openness, communication and honesty amongst all partners in poly relationships. Flexibility and freedom.
The Golden Epsilon symbol: Greek lowercase letter ‘Epsilon with a psili and oxia’, as the first letter of ‘Erotes’ or ‘Eros’. the Gold color represents the value that we place on the close connections we make with others.
The darker hues in the first flag: Pride, strength courage and fortitude of being non-mono/poly.
The purple hues in the second flag: tactfulness, diplomacy, consensuality and professionalism needed when being in a sexual relationship with someone, be it mono or non-mono.
