The Rainbow Flag

The Rainbow Flag is a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and diversity. It features six horizontal stripes—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet—each representing different aspects of the community, such as life, healing, sunlight, nature, harmony, and spirit. Originally created in 1978 by artist Gilbert Baker, the flag promotes inclusivity, acceptance, and visibility for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. Its colorful design helps foster a sense of unity and pride, serving as a visual statement against discrimination and celebrating the rich diversity within the LGBTQ+ community.
