Trillium is an often-overlooked flower that represents bisexual pride, stemming from its three petals, which echo the colors of the Bi Pride flag designed by Michael Page. The flag, created in 1998, uses pink for same-sex attraction, blue for opposite-sex attraction, and purple for attraction to both. The choice of trillium also links back to its designation as bisexual due to its male and female reproductive organs and its preference for shady environments, paralleling the quiet expression often found in the bisexual community.
Trillium, a three-bract flowering plant, symbolizes bisexual pride due to its three petals, invoking the overlapping colors of the Bi Pride flag.
Michael Page designed the Bi Pride flag in 1998, representing the duality of attraction with pink and blue, with purple symbolizing attraction to both.
Trillium thrives in the shade, reflective of the quiet, subtle signaling of identity in LGBTQ+ culture, often considered appropriate for bisexual individuals.
The adaptation of trillium to symbolize Bi Pride was inspired by its three-petal structure and the historical interpretations of its reproductive organs.
