Sunset Ocean Pride Flag — A flag for people who are gay for both men and women, without it being tied to a specific label.
Whether you identify as bi, pan, omni, queer, gay, sapphillean, velaurian, unlabeled, or whatever the case may be, you can use this flag if you are gay for both men and women. Additionally, this does not have to be exclusive! People who experience attraction to nonbinary people are also included, as are people whose attraction is not strictly gay.

Flag Symbolism (Full Explanation) — The flag incorporates themes from both the sunset lesbian flag and the ocean gay flag, hence it being based on a sunset over an ocean. It visually symbolizes the unity of both gay attraction to women, and gay attraction to men.
The top stripes represent the “sunset” portion of the flag, and have meanings inspired by the sunset lesbian flag:
Violet represents gay attraction to women. You may also describe this as lesbian attraction, sapphic attraction, trixic attraction, or whatever else you may prefer, as long as it essentially feels gay. This color was originally described as “grape” for aesthetic reasons, but “violet” better captures its intent, and better represents the shade used in the updated flag.
Rose represents independence, serenity, and peace. These were three major themes in the sunset lesbian flag which were not shared with the ocean gay flag.
The three center stripes represent where the ocean meets the sun and sky, signifying dual gay attraction:
Coral and sky blue both represent diversity, community, and love. These were themes present in both the sunset lesbian and ocean gay flags. This is also why the coral part of the sunset additionally represents marine life, and the sky blue part of the ocean represents the sky.
White represents gender nonconformity, transgender/genderqueer people, intersex people, and unique relationships to gender and sex. These were themes present in both the sunset and ocean flags, and are also common meanings for center white stripes in queer flags.
The bottom stripes represent the “ocean” portion of the flag, and have meanings inspired by the ocean gay flag:
Lapis represents joy, healing, and fortitude. These were three major themes in the ocean gay flag which were not shared with the sunset lesbian flag.
Indigo represents gay attraction to men. You may also describe this as vincian attraction, achillean attraction, toric attraction, or whatever else you may prefer, as long as it essentially feels gay.
The flag originally had slightly different colors, but was updated on November 8, 2025 to further differentiate it from the nebularomantic flag, as well as to fit with the symbolism more accurately.
