“In lesbian culture, the word ‘butch’ indicates a woman whose gender expression and traits present as typically ‘masculine’. Being butch is about playing with and questioning traditional binary male and female gender roles and expressions.” People have speculated that the Butch Lesbian Pride Flag has shades of Blues and Purples to denote masculinity and women and women-identified folks respectively with white indicating people across the gender and sexuality spectrums. The artist never explained the meaning of the flag colours.
