Queer-flexible (or Queerflexible) is a term referring one identifies mainly as queer but knows that they are also flexible in their attraction. Examples of this would be:

Identifying as any orientation and knowing that one is also flexible in that orientation, but not wanting to label it fully (example: identifying as a lesbian, being flexible in some way, and not wanting to label oneself as homoflexible).
Identifying as a lesser known orientation that does not have a flexible variant (example: identifying as marsic and having a flexible orientation).
Identifying primarily as queer, but using more specific labels on occasion or under specific circumstances (see labelflux).
Being unsure which -flexible identity one identifies as.
Mostly experiencing queer attraction, but occasionally experiencing attraction that one does not consider to be queer.
Otherwise identifying as both queer and flexible in some way.

History

The term was coined sometime on or before February 4, 2019 on Tumblr account Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags.^[1] The term was given a similar alternate meaning by FANDOM user Rose.Quartz.Council.^[2]

Flag

The primary flag was designed on February 4, 2019 by Mod arco-pluris on Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags ^[1]. The flag color meanings are currently unknown.

The alternate flag was designed by Wikia FANDOM user Queer sunflower on June 18, 2021. The flag is a combination of the queer flag, the platonic attraction flag, the multisexual flag, the straight flag, the gay flag, and the aspec flag.^[3]

The third flag, by sol_v_diaz on Twitter, was made on June 17th, 2021.^[4] The flag is a combination of a simplified version of the queer flag and a softer toned Gilbert-Baker pride flag, representing different experiences of queerness. It is based on common -flexible flags.
