On the creation: “A little over 20 years ago, I lived in the Pacific Northwest, and for the first time in my life, I experienced first-hand the struggles and celebrations of what is now known as the LGBT community.Progress Rainbow Pride Flag (2018, Daniel Quasar). Bear Pride Flag (1995, Craig Byrnes), Lavender Diversity Rainbow Flag (2017, Gilbert Baker), Rainbow Pride Flag with black and brown stripes (2017, Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs). Related: Leather Pride Flag (1989, Tony DeBlase). And that meant the flag had to have an even number of stripes.” Parade organizers in San Francisco had the idea of splitting the ‘flag’ into two and to decorate the parade route in 1979. On why aqua blue was removed: “This was for basic mathematical reasons.On why pink was removed: “, we ran out of pink dye.“.You know, whether it was pink for sex and red for life, and all down through the spectrum, orange for the healing, yellow for the sun, and obviously the green for nature, and the beautiful turquoise for art and magic, and the blue for serenity, and the purple for the spirit.” I liked the idea that each color would represent an element of our, of everyone’s life. On the meaning: “It needed to have depth.On the creation: “Gilbert is usually given all the credit for creating the Rainbow Flag-but really it took three flag makers, the artists from the Eureka/Noe Valley Artist Coalition, (founded by Harvey Milk, Scotty Smith and Lee Mentley), the Parade Committee and countless volunteers to create all the color that made the Rainbow Flag stick in people’s minds that Gay Freedom Day.”.By Angelino Lynn Segerblom, Gilbert Baker, and James McNamara
