'''Unlabeled'''/'''unlabelled''' or '''
▲'''Unlabeled''' or '''No Label''' is the umbrella term for those who do not want to identify under specific label(s) for their identity or sexuality. The label was made to be able to be used by anyone who feels like they should. By definition it is similar to the [[Queer]] identity, but more suited for those who may not be as happy trying to specify their identity under a movement. People can say that their unlabeled in terms of their attraction, gender, identity, a mixture of those, or all.
The term has broad overlap with the ''pomo-'' prefix (see [[pomosexual]], [[pomogender]], and [[pomoromantic]]), with the main difference being that ''unlabeled'' is a rejection of even a label describing a lack of labels applicable to an individual.
▲Youtuber Jasxcii described it as "...You dress how you want, you like what you like, and you do what you do, and that's just you."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub6ZRalI78M</ref>
As an identity on its own, it is often found useful by, but is not exclusive to:
*
*
*Individuals
* [[Non-Binary|Non-binary]]
*
*Individuals who do not want to identify as queer.
*Individuals who don't feel like they should have to explain their attraction or gender to other people.
* Individuals who don't want to restrict themselves with labels.

The first flag was created by Reddit user Employee_472 on January 16, 2021. It was based on the Semaphore signs “N” (for no) and “L” (for label). The colors were left up to interpretation but the creator explained her reasoning behind the choices. Electric indigo is a mix of violet and blue, colors which represent Harmony and Spirit on the original LGBT+ flag but also may stand for a mix of masculinity and femininity (androgyny), or an attraction to different genders and sexes, or anything other one may interpret it as. Black and white are used to create high contrast but can represent a lack or an abundance of gender or attraction. The rainbow stripe is to represent a connection to the LGBTQ+ community. Some criticize the flag as having little meaning, therefor little value.
The four stripe unlabeled pride flag was created by Twitter user lwtroses. The colors have particular meanings: green represents freedom, white represents understanding, blue represents acceptance, and orange represents flexibility.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230411005216/https://unlabeledinfo.carrd.co/#flags</ref>
The third flag was created by Reddit user NeonGhoti on October 6, 2021. The rainbow represents connection to the LGBTQ+ community, dark blue represents masculinity, blue represents unity/community, light lavender represents androgyny/LGBTQ+ spectrums (AroAce, gender, sexuality), pink represents love/romance and dark pink represents femininity.
