The standard rainbow pride flag with the symbol used to represent the male sex is the Mars symbol, ♂ —a circle with an arrow pointing northeast, aka the Gay Rainbow Mars Flag. The symbol is identical to the planetary symbol of Mars. It was first used to denote sex by Carl Linnaeus in 1751. The symbol is often called a stylized representation of the Roman god Mars' shield and spear. According to Stearn, however, all the historical evidence favours that it is derived from θρ, the contraction of the Greek name for the planet, Thouros.
