Kink Aware Therapy Certification Program www.KTCI.Education Dr. Harmony’s Lexicon of Pride Symbols This pride symbol glossary is a comprehensive list as of 2017. With the coming out of alternative sexual expression, thanks in large part to the Internet, there has been an influx of pride symbols for the last decade. There is little research published on the symbology thus there are no comprehensive symbol lists currently in any publication of scholarly research that I was able to obtain. The symbols that I have chosen to include in this list were selected based upon their consistency of use in popular media and use by national and international organizations that advocate for the various groups. This list was included in this thesis as a reference for mental health professionals. Traditionally some physical observation is part of all standard of care which include noting significant markings, tattoos and piercings. Should your patient not be open to sharing with you their lifestyle, it is important for the counselor or physician to be aware of their clothing, tattoos, and/or jewelry which are common places to find these pride symbols and allows you, the medical practitioner, the opportunity to have additional information which could positively influence your ability to care for them. Also, commenting on the symbols and letting your patient know that you are truly a “Kink aware” provider will hopefully, allow them to relax and be more open in your dialog.
