You might be familiar with the six-colored rainbow flag that is widely used to represent the LGBTQ+ community. But did you know that this is a relatively new rendition of the original? 

The original flag (shown here) was designed by activist, veteran, drag queen, and artist, Gilbert Baker, and made its debut at the San Francisco Lgbtq+ and Lesbian Freedom Day Pride in 1978. He was inspired by the Rolling Stones lyric She’s a Rainbow, and the 1960s hippies movement, assigning each color with a specific meaning:

  • Pink: Sex (later removed)

  • Red: Life

  • Orange: Healing

  • Yellow: Sunlight

  • Green: Nature

  • Turquoise: Magic (later removed)

  • Indigo: Serenity

  • Violet: Spirit

    Gay men pride flag

    The (cis, white) homosexual man has always been at the centre of self-acceptance movements, but as people opened their minds to involve all LGBTQ+ identities in the movement, the rainbow flag increasingly solidified its position as one that represents the entire LGBTQ+ community. 

    Over time, demand grew for a flag that specifically represents gay men. This 5-coloured (and sometimes 7-coloured) gay men pride flag was designed in 2019 by Tumblr user @gayflagblog, but it wasn’t without controversy. 

    Accusations that the originator of the flag is transphobic, and that the layout was stolen from the sunset woman-loving woman flag, were rampant. However, those claims have since been debunked, and the flag became increasingly accepted within the community. 

    Meaning behind the colours: 

    • Turquoise to verdant colours represent group, healing, and joy 
    • White represents gender nonconforming, non-binary, and genderqueer folks 
    • Blue to purple colours represent pure love, fortitude, and diversity
