The Ownership Pride Flag was created by Tanos in the United Kingdom in 2006, as part of the Ownership Icons. The flag was created to provide a universal symbol that represents the foundation of the Master/Slave relationship, and create a symbol of unity and pride. The set of three horizontal red stripes is a universal symbol meaning passive of submissive. The vertical stripe is a universal symbol of dominance. The black field has an indented white border on a black field. Unveiled during the Master/Slave Conference on July 29, 2005, this flag was designed by Master Tallen of Washington, DC, USA. Although the flag is common in the gay community, it stands as a symbol to the fetish community at large, regardless of sexual orientation. The designer of the flag states that the colours of the flag are to be determined by the individual. It is a derivation of the leather-pride flag (below) with a triskelion in the charge of the flag’s field.ĭesigned by Tony DeBlase, the flag debuted in Chicago, Illinois, USA in May of 1989 as a symbol for the leather subculture. While the original flag was meant to contain a metallic triskellion, this is not possible to represent in flag form, so the adaptation to the left was established.
This is the most widely recognized BDSm flag in the community to date. The triskelion is a symbol which dates back thousands of years, and was adopted as a symbol which the BDSm community could recognize without the mainstream culture being aware of it’s meaning. The triskelion is meant to represent the threes of BDSm: Dom, sub and Switch and Safe, Sane and Consensual. The triskelion was meant to represent the idea that fetishist deserve the same rights as anyone else, without discrimination for their sexual practices. The BDSm Rights Flag is intended to represent people who’s sexual preferences include Bondage and Discipline, (BD,) or Sadism and Masochism (SM) regardless of their sexual preference.

Agora, todos conhecem a bandeira do orgulho gay, mas existem outras. Todo (ou quase todo) movimento ou area sexual possui sua bandeira.
