The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements
The most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.
Gilbert Baker was an American artist and gay rights activist who designed the rainbow flag in 1978
There are several independent rainbow flags in use today. The most widely known worldwide is the pride flag representing LGBT pride.
The original gay pride flag flew in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978.
The flag originally consisted of eight stripes; Baker assigned specific meaning to each of the colors: Hot pink-sex, Red- life, Orange - Healing,Yellow - Sunlight, Green - Nature, Turquoise- Art, Indigo - Harmony, Violet - Spirit
The largest LGBT pride flag was 30 feet wide and 1 mile long. The giant rainbow flag was carried by more than 10,000 people during New York’s Gay Pride parade in 1994. The parade was in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
Hot pink is no longer a non-standard color in flag fabric production. Baker was recently able to create the world’s longest Rainbow Flag – restored to its original eight colors – to celebrate the flag’s silver anniversary.
In 1989, the rainbow flag came to nationwide attention in the United States after John Stout sued his landlords and won when they attempted to prohibit him from displaying the flag from his West Hollywood, California, apartment balcony.
Spirit Day, the first observance of which took place on October 20, 2010.The name Spirit Day comes from the purple stripe of the rainbow flag, whose creator Gilbert Baker defined it as "representing 'spirit'".
