== Flag ==
The sapphic flag has two pink stripes on the top and bottom, symbolizing love. In the center there is a violet, which was historically given between woman to symbolize their sapphic love.
The original sapphic flag had the same two pink stripes on the top and bottom representing women as the current flag. In the center was a realistic pair of violets, but this flag was too complicated for many, leading to the creation of the current flag.
== Etymology ==
The word sapphic comes from the name of the Greek poet Sappho. The island she was born on, Lesbos, is where the word lesbian is derived from.
