"Titled 'Our queer arabic terms', this flag is based on the three arab colors -- green, white, and black -- common in several flags and a pink triangle instead of a red one to symbolize queerness. The words written in arabic are positive and relatively new terms that stand for LGBT: "misliya (jinsiya)" means lesbian, "misli (jinsi)" means gay, "izdiwaji (jinsi)" means bisexual, and "moghayer (al-jins)" means transgender."
