'''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 sexuality, [[Unlabeled Gender|gender]], or other identity (despite qualifying and being entitled to use one or more). By definition it is similar to the some usages of [[queer]] and may overlap with [[pomosexual]]/[[pomogender]], but is more suited for those who may not be as happy or comfortable trying to specify their identity within the [[LGBT+]] community. One may have an identity that fits into a pre-existing identity, but still not wanting to label oneself. One can be unlabeled in terms of their attraction, gender, or any other aspect of their gender.
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.

The colors were left up to personal interpretation however the creator explained her reasoning behind the choices. Electric indigo is a vibrant 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 whit 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, and to add extra distinction when the flag is limp.▼
