THE PRIDE GUIDE
Significance of the Rainbow Flag
The Rainbow Flag is an international simbol of gay and lesbian pride. The flag was conceived by Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco resident, who made the first one by hand. He then had copies of the flag made, which were first flown at San Francisco's Pride events in 1978. The flag ( with its 6 horizontal stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) represents the diversity, yet unity, of the gay and lesbian community.
