We won't even mention their names, but the flag was finally standardized on Feb. Interestingly, the rainbow symbol and flag was developed by individuals out of their love for the "Gay" movement, but no doubt Satanically inspired. It had to be hatched from the very halls of hell itself. Who could have thought of the idea of the rainbow and the word "Gay" to represent this despicable homosexual crowd. You would think that one of the best advertising firms in the nation must have been paid a handsome sum to develop such a marketing plan as this. Obviously that someone who first used the rainbow as the symbol for the "Gay" community and later for the entire LGBT (lesbian, "gay", bi-sexual, trans-gender) community, with one stroke, created the greatest single marketing maneuver that nearly eclipses any of the other symbols defining a particular product, but in this instance, we are talking about changing societies attitudes about a life-style from one of total disgust to one of near complete acceptance and even embracement. As an example, Prudential Insurance brings to mind "The Rock", no matter the change of design, who can question that it is a Chevrolet with that Bowtie? And who could ever pass off America's team when they see the famous Dallas Cowboy's Star? Or do we have to ask who the Elephant or Donkey stands for?
Often times when you think of great business corporations, Universities or Institutions, you think of the symbol or logos even before their name is mentioned. Usually an institution chooses a symbol that presents the institution in the best possible light to reflect it as the epitome of integrity and greatness. These six stripes come together as a strong symbol for the gay community and their place in the world.Why was the Rainbow chosen as the symbol for Sodomy? While this groups has felt countless hardships and open discrimination, a shared soul supported by family, friends, and allies allows LGBTQ+ individuals to continue to thrive. Finally, the royal purple showcases the determined spirit of the queer community. These colors demonstrate the strong voices of the LGBTQ+rising up against hatred and bearing their hearts through music, theater, and traditional art. The blue or turquoise in this flag may represent the importance of art or signify growing harmony. Same-sex attraction is found in over 1,000 animal species, highlighting the natural roots of the gay community ( Imperial). This area of the flag is meant to inspire us as the sun symbolizes light and hope for a better future. According to Baker, the yellow stripe depicts the warm rays of sunlight. Whether rising up from internal struggles or assisting others with coming out, this experience is felt by many LGBTQ members. Orange stands for healing, a difficult process many queer individuals must go through due to widespread homophobia and discrimination.
Like the blood which flows through each of our veins, this color ties the community together and illustrates our similarities. Firstly, red symbolizes life for LGBTQ individuals. Each section stands for an integral part of the gay community. Originally made with eight stripes, Baker soon modified the pride flag to showcase six brilliant colors of the rainbow.
