what are the original colors to the lgbt pride flag
As people all over the US and the world celebrate the Supreme Courtâs landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage, it seems like the whole internet is painted rainbow. Thereâs actually an interesting story behind the pride flagâs current colors. Most pride flags consist of six colors: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Yesterday in a great interview on Refinery 29, we met the guy who designed it: One Gilbert Baker, an artist and activist who designed the flag in 1978 (according to the interview, Baker also has a drag persona named, awesomely, Busty Ross).
