The commonly used pride flags are the ones that we primarily see as products and are used by many people to identify themselves. Most of them are umbrella terms that encompass smaller, less-used terms (such as Transgender, Nonbinary, Asexual, and Pansexual).
The less commonly used flags are no less important than the commonly used flags, but are lesser-known and represented in products. These flags are still used by many people but not many companies make products of them as they’re not as widely known.
The flag encompasses the entirety of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. (Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, plus). The inclusion of Two-spirit is for our first nation’s folk.

Someone who’s genderfluid might feel more feminine one day, then later feel more masculine or androgynous. Though the length of time between these states changes and fluctuates for each person.
Intersex people include our siblings who were born not strictly male or female. This is important because there are too many cases of unnecessary “corrective” surgery and the involuntary disguise of one’s natural sex.
