The Pride flag. An emblem of the LGBT* community since I came out. Six colours: red, orange, yellow, green blue, purple. Life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic/ art, serenity/ spirit. There is a history to this flag. In Rainbow Warrior, Gilbert Baker, the creator of the original Pride Flag-instigated from a challenge by Harvey Milk- provides the details to it. The flag, its colours and the amount of stripes, has changed over the years. As sub groups within the rainbow community have grown, new flags have arisen as a rallying call for like minded individuals to find a home, to find a camaraderie, with one another; bears, trans, intersex, to name a few.
