July is Disability Pride Month

since so many of us in this group have some kind of disability, I think this is a good thing for us to celebrate

July is Disability Pride Month - just 1 week from today! In preparation, here are the meanings behind each color in the flag.

Image description: a square graphic with a bright pink background celebrates Disability Pride Month. Large cream-colored text at the top reads, “July is Disability Pride Month.” Below, yellow text asks, “What do the colors in the flag represent?”

In the center is an illustration of a laptop displaying the Disability Pride Flag. The flag features five diagonal stripes running from the upper left to the lower right across a dark charcoal-gray background. Each stripe is labeled with the disability community it represents:

Red stripe: “physical disabilities”

Gold/yellow stripe: “cognitive and intellectual disabilities”

White stripe: “non-visible and undiagnosed disabilities”

Blue stripe: “psychiatric disabilities”

Green stripe: “sensory disabilities”

The dark gray background is labeled “mourning,” representing remembrance of disabled people who have experienced discrimination, violence, neglect, or loss of life.

Along the right edge of the image, the creator’s handle appears vertically in white text:
