The "Pride (Rainbow)" Flag is a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and social movements. It was designed by artist and activist Gilbert Baker in 1978. The flag originally had eight stripes, each color representing a different aspect of life and the LGBTQ+ community:
- Hot Pink: Sexuality
- Red: Life
- Orange: Healing
- Yellow: Sunlight
- Green: Nature
- Turquoise: Magic/Art
- Indigo: Serenity
- Violet: Spirit
Due to production issues, the flag was later simplified to six colors, omitting hot pink and merging turquoise and indigo into royal blue. The six-color flag, the most recognized version, has the following colors:
- Red: Life
- Orange: Healing
- Yellow: Sunlight
- Green: Nature
- Blue: Harmony/Peace
- Violet: Spirit
The flag is widely recognized and used during Pride Month (June) and at various events, parades, and marches. It represents diversity, inclusion, and the struggles and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. The rainbow colors signify hope and aspiration for a world where everyone can live freely and without discrimination.
