Six horizontal stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978 for San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade. The original eight-stripe version included hot pink (sexuality) and turquoise (art/magic); these were dropped for manufacturing reasons.
Gilbert Baker's original 1978 version had 8 stripes including hot pink (sex) and turquoise (art). The hot pink and turquoise were dropped because fabric wasn't available in those colours. The flag has become a global symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and visibility.
