The most-seen Puerto Rican flag is red, white and blue; however, the black-and-white flag was at the vendor stands at the festival on Parcel 5. One vendor told us it is a universal flag of protest.

The Pride flag, as it is, is inclusive and doesn’t need brown, black, pink, blue, or other color stripes added. The Pride flag does not specify race, gender, color, disability, HIV/AIDS status, etc.
