History of the flag
The flag's designer, Michael Page, wanted to give the bisexual community its own symbol, comparable to the successful use of the rainbow flag by the gay and lesbian community, in order to increase the visibility of bisexual people as a distinct group from homosexual and heterosexual people. Other symbols in use at the time (such as the common overlapping inverted pink and blue triangles) were either not suitable for the same uses as a flag or were trademarks.

Bisexual orientation can fall anywhere between the two extremes of homosexuality and heterosexuality; a bisexual person is not necessarily attracted equally to both genders, and many tend to prefer one or the other.
Because many bisexual people do not feel that they fit into either the gay community or the heterosexual world, and because they have a tendency to be "invisible" in public (fitting in rather seamlessly into both homosexual and heterosexual society), some bisexual persons are committed to forming their own communities, culture, and political movements.
Another symbol is the bisexualprideflag, which has a deep pink stripe at the top for homosexuality, a blue one on the bottom for heterosexuality, and a purple one (blended from the pink and blue) in the middle to represent bisexuality.
