The Original Rainbow Pride Flag (1978) by Gilbert Baker.
As this post gets popular every June, I would like to remind people a few things about it!
The pink stripe is there, it’s just hard to see
It’s displayed this way to protect the flag
Gilbert Baker was not Jewish
It likely came from many sources of inspiration, including:
-The promise of the rainbow in the Bible (Baker was raised Methodist)
-“She’s a Rainbow” by the Rolling Stones
-The American Hippie Movement
-The Flag of the Races
-The general symbolism of rainbows in mythology and culture
