Agender Pride Day

Agender Pride Day is an annual event dedicated to celebrating agender people and identity, as well as raising awareness of the issues and discrimination that they face. It is celebrated annually on 19 May.

Background

Agender is a gender identity wherein an individual has no gender at all, and does not necessarily follow gender roles. It falls under the non-binary umbrella, and sometimes the transgender umbrella. The agender flag was created by a user on Tumblr in 2014.

History and aims

Agender Pride Day is celebrated annually on May 19th. The first Agender Pride Day took place on May 19th, 2017, months after a 27-year-old resident in Oregon was legally recognised as agender in the US. The celebration was established by members of the community who felt that agender people were being excluded from broader non-binary and trans spaces and conversations. The celebration's purposes include highlighting the challenges faced by agender people, celebrating identity, and increasing knowledge and visibility of the agender community. It is one of the newer recognized LGBTQIA+ awareness periods, and also aims to celebrate agender people and draw attention to the discrimination that they face in their day-to-day lives, as well as amplify their voices.

Individuals can celebrate Agender Pride Day any way that they choose, with a writer from Diva recommending that non-agender people celebrate by learning about agender identities, people and terminology. Events can include, but are not limited to, educational activities that "challenge traditional gender norms". Brian Webb from HomoCulture wrote in 2025, "Agender Pride Day cuts through the noise with a clear message: there are more ways to be human than our current systems allow. And every single one of them deserves respect." In 2024, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus celebrated Agender Pride Day by publishing a blog highlighting music artists who "challenged gender norms through their music".
