In 2017, he added a ninth lavender stripe to represent diversity, however the six-color version and other variants remain more popular.The Gay Pride flag has also inspired pride flag designs from various groups within the LBGTQIA+ community. For the 25th anniversary of the flag in 2003, Baker advocated for people to use his original eight-color design. These variations often aim to better represent the diversity and struggles faced by the LBGTQIA+ community, such as the Philadelphia Pride flag and the Progress Pride flag.Gilbert Baker also created variations of his own design. While the six-color design continues to be the most popular symbol of the LBGTQIA+ community, it has inspired many variations. This created the six-color version that became the most prevalent symbol of the LBGTQIA+ community for years to come, replacing several other symbols including the Greek Lambda and a pink triangle. Later that same year, Indigo and turquoise would be combined into a royal blue. By 1979, hot pink would be phased out due to fabric unavailability. Hot pink represented sexuality, red represented life, orange represented healing, yellow represented sunlight, green represented nature, turquoise represented art, indigo represented harmony, and violet represented spirit. The original Gay Pride flag featured eight colors, each with its own meaning assigned by Baker.

We all share the original pride flag, but like to stand out with our own pride flag that represents who we truly are. No matter how many different gay pride flags there is the original gay pride flag (the rainbow flag) will never fade away because it is what has formed our community and shaped the future for other pride flags to come to gay groups that do not have a special flag of their own. Bear pride has been growing more popular since 1995 when the official design of their flag was debuted to the community. Along with the gay pride flag being one of the most popular pride flags, the bear pride flag is also one of the three most popular pride flags as well.
#Original gay pride flag 1978 archive
I chose to do my history archive on the history of the most common gay pride flags because not many people realize that there is more than just the original rainbow (gay) pride flag. there is a pride flag for transgender people, lesbians, straight, asexual, and many more different groups. But now each gay group has their own pride flag. Before other pride groups were formed and came up with their own pride flags they all would have originally used the rainbow gay pride flag to support their sexuality.
