Gilbert Baker Pride Flag The original Pride Flag was created in 1978 after activist Harvey Milk asked artist Gilbert Baker to design a symbol of gay pride Each color represents a different part of the LGBTQ+ community: hot pink represents sex, red symbolizes life, orange stands for healing, yellow equals sunlight, green stands for nature, turquoise symbolizes magic and art, indigo represents serenity, while violet symbolizes the spirit of LGBTQ+people
Traditional Pride Flag After the assassination of Harvey Milk, the rainbow flag was in high demand. Due to manufacturing issues, the hot pink stripe was removed The turquoise stripe was removed from the flag as a design choice from Baker The six color pride flag has represented the community for over 40 years and is still one of the most common LGBTQ+flags
Philadelphia Pride Flag The Philadelphia Pride Flag was unveiled at the city?s pride event in 2017 The Philadelphia City Council commissioned the creation of this flag as they wanted to incorporate queer communities of color that have often been overlooked in the mainstream LGBTQ+movement The addition of the black and brown stripes symbolize communities of color and their contribution to the movement
Progress Pride Flag The Progress Pride Flag evolved from the Philadelphia Pride Flag and was created by Daniel Quaser. Quasar added a white, pink, and light blue stripe to represent the Trans community While the black and brown stripes still represented communities of color, the black stripe is also a nod the thousands of individuals that the community lost during the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1980s and 1990s Since its creation, the flag has become very popular
Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag The Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag adds the intersex community to the Progress Pride Flag With this update coming in 2021, this serves as the most up-to-date LGBTQ+flag The flag was created by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK.
