WHAT IS THE PRIDE FLAG?
The first rainbow flag was designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. The flag was created as a symbol for the LGBTQIA+ community (Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual) and it first flew at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade. Baker's original pride flag had eight colors which included pink and turquoise stripes. Today's rainbow flag has six colors, excluding the prior pink and turquoise ones.
