In light of ongoing conversations about Baker’s flag and whom it represents, here is a guide to flags to know in the LGBTQ community. Ted Kaye, the secretary of North American Vexillological Association. There’s something about the fabric waving in the air that stirs people.” “We invest in flags the role of being the single most important icon to represent our countries, our states and our cities, our organizations and our groups. Individual communities within the LGBTQ spectrum (lesbian, bisexual, transgender and others) have created their own flags and in recent years, variations on Baker’s rainbow have also become more prominent.
Gilbert Baker’s rainbow Gay Pride Flag is one of many created over the years to represent LGBTQ people and liberation. The green to blue flag is the gay men flag, the mlm flag is the achillean flag, which is also great btw. The term mlm encompasses all men+ attracted to men+, so bi, pan etc. Just a side note, gay men flag / mlm flag. His friend Harvey Milk, the first gay elected official in California, asked him to design a symbol for the LGBTQ community. If someone wants to kick off that's on them, not because the flag is lesphobic. It was designed by Gilbert Baker, an openly gay artist and activist. The first flew of a universal symbol of hope for LGBTQ people around the world was in San Francisco’s United Nations Plaza for Gay Pride Day, on June 25, 1978.
