The flag was not intended to replace the [[genderqueer flag]], which was created by Marilyn Roxie in 2011, but to be flown alongside it, and many believe it was intended to represent people who did not feel adequately represented by the genderqueer flag.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Cecilia |date=2021-11-10 |title=What Is The Non-Binary Pride Flag, And What Does It Stand For? |url=https://queerintheworld.com/non-binary-pride-flag/ |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=Queer in the World |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Shotwell |first=Alyssa |date=2022-05-31 |title=The History & Meaning Behind the Nonbinary Flag Design |url=https://www.themarysue.com/nonbinary-flag-colors-design-explained/ |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=The Mary Sue |language=en}}</ref>
The design of both the genderqueer flag and the nonbinary flag include the colour lavender (purple) in reference to [[LGBT history|LGBTQ+ history]]. The word [[Lavender (color)|lavender]] had long been used to refer to the gay community. A 1935 dictionary of slang included the phrase "a streak of lavender" meaning a person who was regarded as effeminate. A different-gender marriage where both parties were assumed to be gay was called a [[lavender marriage]]. The [[Lavender Scare]] was a moral panic in the mid-20th century, where [[LGBT community|LGBT+ people]] were dismissed ''en masse'' from their jobs with the United States government. Expressions used by the LGBT+ community are sometimes referred to as [[lavender linguistics]]
