I did this picture back in July 2022 in celebration of Disability Pride Month! The flag my character Nix is holding is the up-to-date disability pride flag. Earlier versions of this flag were used in protests and during a meeting with the UN to ensure the basic rights of disabled people would be respected globally. This version of the flag, however, was only designed in 2021. Each colour represents a different part of the community: Red represents physically disabled people, Yellow represents people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as the wider neurodivergent community, White represents those with invisible disabilities, those who haven't yet received a diagnosis or those otherwise left behind/forgotten about but wider society, Blue is for people with disabling mental health conditions, green is for sensory disabilities and the grey background is for all those we have lost, thanks to both the disabilities themselves, but also mistreatment, ableism and medical malpractice/negligence.

It was a point of confusion when I posted this in other places, so just to clarify, this isn't an LGBTQ+ pride flag, nor is it related to the LGBTQ+ community. It is for anyone with a disability to use!
