RAINBOW PRIDE FLAG

Information

Use of the Rainbow Flag by the gay community began in 1978 when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and black civil rights groups, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year.  The 6 Colors of the flag are Red  for life,  Orange for healing, Yellow for sun,  Green for nature,  Blue for harmony,  Purple for spirit
