History
Soon after the lipstick lesbian flag appeared in 2010, a version with the same seven colors but without its kiss mark quickly replaced it. This pink flag became widely used as a general lesbian pride flag through the 2010s.
Many lesbians later moved to the orange-pink flag introduced in 2018, in part because the pink flag felt centered on feminine lesbians.
