Pride Flag
The gay pride flag colors?
This has been bugging me for a while. What does all of the colors in the pride flag stand for?
Also I’ve seen some pride flags with bear paws & i’m wondering what the bear paw is for???
sorry let me correct myself… *The pride flag colors?
The rainbow flag, a popular and internationally recognized symbol of gay and lesbian pride, was designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. In response to the request of the committee organizing the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade for a symbol that could be used year after year, Baker created a flag with eight horizontal stripes of different colors. After two huge rainbow flags were flown at the parade that year, the symbol gained immediate popularity in the San Francisco gay community.
In Gilbert’s original design, each of the eight colors represented a concept. Hot pink stood for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for the sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. Baker, together with some two dozen volunteers at the San Francisco Gay Center, dyed fabric and sewed the first flags.
Demand for rainbow flags made it necessary to find a source of mass production. The Paramount Flag Company of San Francisco undertook the job in 1979. Before commercial production began, lack of availability of materials and cost considerations caused a change in the design of the flag.
The hot pink and turquoise stripes were eliminated, and the indigo was replaced with blue, yielding the form that is used today. In 1986 the rainbow flag was recognized as an official flag by the International Flag Association.
