*this is copied from somewhere else* The cầu vồng flag hoặc Pride flag of the LGBT community is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements in use since the 1970s. The màu sắc reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in LGBT rights marches. It originated in the United States, but is now used worldwide. Designed bởi San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978, the thiết kế has undergone several revisions. Sewn bởi thirty volunteers, the original gay-pride flag flew in the San Francisco Gay Freedom ngày Parade on June 25, 1978. It has been suggested that Baker was inspired bởi Judy Garland’s hát “Over The Rainbow.” The flag consisted of eight stripes; Baker assigned specific meaning to each of the màu sắc as follows: hot pink: sexuality red: life orange: healing yellow: sunlight green: nature turquoise: magic/art indigo: serenity/harmony violet: spirit After the assassination of openly gay San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk, demand for the cầu vồng flag greatly increased. To meet demand, the Paramount Flag Company began selling a version of the flag using stock cầu vồng fabric consisting of seven stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, and violet. As Baker ramped up production of his version of the flag, he too dropped the hot màu hồng, hồng stripe because of the unavailability of hot-pink fabric. Also, San Francisco-based Paramount Flag Co. began selling a surplus stock of cầu vồng Girls flags from its Polk đường phố, street retail store. As of 2008, the most common variant consists of six stripes, with the màu sắc red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is commonly flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as the màu sắc would appear in a natural rainbow.
