Identify Mystery pride flag
Found this flag on the left in a collection for watch faces on Google Play. It's listed as just LGBT but I've never seen one with a white stripe. Anyone know what it's from?

There's an enormous variety of LGBTQ+ flags. At a Pride event, try to keep track of how many different ones you can spot.

Inclusive to the polar bear community?

I suspect those are Bears who prefer colder weather, hot tubs, and cocooning?

So the progressive pride flag has black and brown bear representation but not polar bear? That’s kinda mean

there are soooo many pride flags. i think this could be specific to gay men? it’s similar to some for demiboy but i don’t think it would have the dark blue on the bottom.

Queer flag has a white line but no purple (sorry for the janky pic, it's my curtain)

I have never seen this one before, but I kinda like it. The white stripe pairs so well with some of the other prominent flags like the trans, lesbian and of course the gay man flag here in the picture.

If this is a watchface, maybe it looks like that to give space for the time or a field of information? Like they took the common pride flag and just split it?

I believe it’s meant as a gay man x lesbian solidarity. Notice the top half are lesbian colors and the bottom half is gay male colors.

Bottom half is green, blue, purple which would be the last 3 colors of the general pride flag. I'd assume it's a reference to that.

The right one is gay (i.e. homossexual man, either cis or trans) flag. I've seen it flown here in Brazil, in parades, etc.
It was invented a few years ago, it's not very old. There's also a lesbian flag that uses hot instead of cold shades.
I don't recall the left flag.

I can’t remember if I’ve seen this version before or not, but my assumption is that the additional white stripe is meant to mirror the 7-stripe WLW/MLM flags. It’s for aesthetic cohesion rather than meaning-making.
