NEW GLORY RAINBOW FLAG

Information

The New Old Glory Rainbow Flag is a recent development. It is based on the Rainbow Flag and uses the 50 stars on a field of blue in the canton from that of the flag of the United States of America to stress that equal rights for gays and lesbians are crucial in all 50 states.

SEWN NYLON: Sewn Nylon is color strips of the flag sewn together to form the flag. This type of flag is a higher quality flag and can expect to have a life longer than the PRINTED NYLON. Again, how long will the flag maintain the colors is based on your location, weather, how often the flag is displayed and cared for.

GROMMETS: Grommets on the flag is the typical configuration of most flags. The flag poll has (2) hooks that hold the grommets/flag in place. The pole can be purchased at most local hardware stores.

HISTORY:  Rainbow Flag designed by Gilbert Baker, artist, in 1978 for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade, which debuted June 1978.  Originally the flag had eight horizontal stripes, each color signifying a different aspect of the Gay & Lesbian population. Hot Pink for Sexuality.  Red for Life.  Orange for healing.  Yellow for Sun.  Green for Serenity with Nature.  Turquoise for Art.  Indigo for Harmony.  Violet for Spirit.  Two of the Eight colors were dropped for mass production and cost-effectiveness.
