“I’m in the process of learning where I fit in the spectrum, so I thought it would be fun to do the flags that I sort of vibe with.”
Flags can also represent solidarity and support for a cause.

Museum programme and events co-ordinator Rachel MacJeff said the museum provided a template for the progress pride flag but wanted to make it easy for people to make their own designs.
