pride 2020 02/30 | the rainbow flag
The rainbow flag is the most recognisable symbol of queer pride and community. Commissioned by gay politician Harvey Milk,it was designed and created by artist and activist Gilbert Baker (top left), Lynn Segerblom (top centre), and a team of volunteers. It was first flown at San Francisco Pride in June 1978. In 2003, Gilbert was commissioned to make a 2km (1.25 miles) long rainbow flag to commemorate the design’s 25th anniversary.
