  • Pink: Sex (later removed)

  • Red: Life

  • Orange: Healing

  • Yellow: Sunlight

  • Green: Nature

  • Turquoise: Magic (later removed)

  • Indigo: Serenity

  • Violet: Spirit 

The evolution to the six-colored flag used today happened out of practicality. 

After the parade in , demand for the Celebration Flag increased, but the sizzling pink fabric was difficult to find in large quantities. Then, the Paramount Flag Company started making a version out of the standard rainbow colors to help meet demand, and a seven-color pride flag was the new norm.

    Pride Month: the gay flag

    The gay man&#;s flag is a Pride flag that, like most Pride flags, has been revised over time. For example, the original had horizontal stripes in different shades of blue with a alabaster stripe down the middle.

    The original version was controversial because people thought it reflected a gender binary rather than a gender spectrum.

The Stonewall Uprising began with LGBTIQ resistance after the police raided the Stonewall Inn.
