Suggested rationale from originator - Jim Burton (added 2024):

As per previous variants of the design, the different parts of the flag are said to represent unifying goals of the movement. Our initial concern is the unification of all MAPs, but we then seek to unify MAPs with Young People and their Allies in Civil Society:

◆ The central white stripe represents peace in general, unity between different parts of the community and its allies. The inclusion of two previous designs in a single concept also emphasizes these goals. Peace may also include an unwillingness to offend, where said offenses are harmful, i.e. a violation of free choice or otherwise threatening the progress of our movement.

◆ The yellow stripes represent liberty, and a move towards freedom of choice, both for MAPs and for young people, including AAMs and Minor MAPs.

◆ The red and blue stripes represent both MAPs and Young People of differing life stages, and more masculine or feminine gender identities/personal features. They may also be seen as representing attractions between one or the other.
