Mill Lane, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.
About the photograph.
This photo was taken approximately near the Mocka Lounge on Mill Lane.
While I was looking around for some shots, I spotted those two ladies with this flag, and to ask them for their permissions to take photos of them displaying the flag. They happily posed for the camera, and I asked for their permissions to post online, which they agreed.
I have a little interest in flags, I am not really a vexillologist as it’s just a passing interest, more like I dabble in vexillology which is the study of flags.
The red dragon seen on the flag, is normally found on a field of upper white and lower green background, which is the normal national flag of Wales, or in their Welsh language: Baner Cymru. it is often called Y Ddraig Goch, meaning the red dragon.
But in this case, they got the red dragon on a field of rainbow colours, the symbolic colours of LGBT.
For details about the flag, see below.
About the flag.
Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch is the national flag for Wales.
To be clear, Baner Cymru is the national flag for Wales, just like the St George’s Cross is the national flag for England, and the St Andrew’s Cross is the national flag for Scotland. Somewhat akin to each American states having their own flags.
The Union Flag (also known as The Union Jack) is the national flag for the United Kingdom of Great Britain as whole, in a similar way as the Stars and Strips is for the whole of America.
The red dragon is said to imply the fearlessness of the Welsh nation, and dates back to as far as around 600 CE to 800 CE.
The modern flag design was adopted in 1953.
About the event.
Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.
In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.
Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.
The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.
Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.
That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.

Pride month 2025 is coming to an end and once again leaves my heart full of joy and appreciation for this huge celebration of love.
Pride month to me is the echo chamber of the only message that really matters any day of the year: “You are love. You are loved.”

From pansies to pink triangles: A guide to queer symbols through the ages
Before there were rainbow flags and pronoun pins, queer folks had to get creative. We couldn’t just say it; we had to signal it. So we spoke in colors, flowers, and shapes that carried entire worlds of meaning.
From Oscar Wilde’s green carnation to the pink triangle turned protest banner, LGBTQ+ people have winked at each other throughout history with symbols of survival and reclamations for queer joy.
Once used by Nazis to label gay men, the pink triangle was reclaimed in the 1970s and reborn as an era of queer resistance. Pain became protest. The pink triangle is living proof that we turn persecution into power.
Lesser known than its pink counterpart, the black triangle was marked for “a(nti-)social” individuals under fascism, such as Roma, homeless, and alcoholics, as well as lesbians. In some circles, this symbol of state-sanctioned persecution has been reclaimed as a symbol for lesbian pride and solidarity.
Chosen in 1970 by Tom Doerr of the New York Chapter of the Gay Activists Alliance, lambda represented energy, change, and liberation, becoming the Greek letter that powered a movement. Never underestimate a symbol that looks good on a protest sign and a silver pendant.
Since antiquity, the symbols for Venus and Mars have represented female and male, respectively. The interlocked symbols, however, became shorthand for lesbian and gay love, and the combined ⚧ for our trans and nonbinary siblings.
An ancient double-headed axe, once associated with ancient, powerful figures like Amazons and goddesses, became a feminist statement of power in the 1970s. Think of it as the sapphic Excalibur!
Before the bi flag, artist Liz Nania created the overlapping pink and blue triangles to symbolize attraction across genders. They were simple, sleek, and low-key scandalous.
Long before apps like Grindr, pockets talked for us. Leather and cruising culture in the 1970s gave us a coded language via bandanas. The color of the bandana (ex: light blue for blowjobs) and the pocket placement (ex: right side for giving) signaled to other gay men what the wearer was interested in.
In 1991, designer David Spada created six colorful metal rings symbolizing Pride. Jewelry that shone with joy!
With a quiet signal, asexual folks claim the black ring on the right middle finger. This symbol of ace pride is understated, elegant, and powerfully personal.
The ancient Greek poet Sappho wrote many erotic poems that referenced violets, making them symbolic of sapphic love. Centuries later, women exchanged them as coded tokens of desire.
In 1890s London, Oscar Wilde asked his dashing followers to wear green carnations to his play, which became emblematic of his queer bohemian lifestyle. Though we don’t know whether he intended to use this as a symbol for same-sex love, it became a subtle nod to queerness under an era of decadence.
Once a slur, always a comeback. Though pansy is more familiar as a derogatory term to describe gay men as being “non-masculine and delicate,” the Pansy Craze of the early 20th century was a golden age for drag bars and queer-friendly bars. It has also been reclaimed in recent years to remember queer victims of abuse. The Pansy Project, launched in 2005, plants these flowers at “sites of homophobic and transphobic abuse.”
Not blue nor pink, but perfectly in between. Once used against the community during the McCarthy era’s “Lavender Scare,” the color was reclaimed at the start of the modern LGBTQ+ movement as a color of empowerment.
In 1974, queer activists plastered lavender rhinos across Boston buses. Because if you’re going to demand visibility, why not do it with a horn? It’s safe to assume the rhino association is because it’s strong, misunderstood, and (allegedly) charges only when provoked. Relatable.
That pink triangle inside a circle? It’s not just retro Pride décor. Developed by EQUAL!, formed initially as an employee resource group at AT&T, the symbol marked places of safety in schools and offices starting in the 1990s. Because every queer kid deserves to know which door is safe to open.
From coded flowers to signs of safety, every queer symbol is a love letter to resilience. We’ve turned shame into shine, secrecy into solidarity, and geometry into pure gay drama.
So next time you see a little triangle, a violet pin, or someone with a black ring, remember that it’s the personification of our community’s struggle and survival over the ages.
