The Rainbow’s History

Where did the famous 6 stripes come from? 

An American artist called Gilbert Baker made a design of originally 8 stripes now 6 to be used on gay Freedom Day in 1978. The stripes became a popular symbol (pride flag) for people trying to get rights for those in the LGBTQ+ community. 

What do the stripes mean? 

The original 8 striped flag included pink and turquoise, which were later removed due to fabric availability and design practicality, resulting in the 6-striped version commonly used today. 

Red – Life 

Orange – Healing  

Yellow – Sunlight 

Green – Nature 

Blue – Harmoney 

Violet – Spirit 

You can find other rainbow crossing around the world – including, New York in the United States and Toronto in Canada.
