Yellow for Sunshine Green for Serenity Blue for Art Purple for Spirit. The top lavender stripe carries a double meaning. Although the symbolic use of bright colors has long been connected to queer culture, these flags, fittingly, are a highly visible, widerspread signal of queer identity compared to some of the slightly more covert LGBTQ+ symbols that preceded them. The Rainbow Flag - or Freedom Flag - has represented the gay and lesbian. Marilyn Roxie designed the Genderqueer Pride Flag in June 2011, updating previous designs from the year before.

Today, there are dozens of LGBTQ+ flags representing just as many gender identities, sexualities and intersections of communities. Much like the communities they represent, these flags are in a constant state of evolution, expanding to better and more inclusively encompass every queer identity under the rainbow. Baker's iteration of the flag gives a unique meaning to each color, 'hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for harmony and violet for spirit,' he explained.

Ever since the first rainbow-hued LGBTQ flag was created in 1978, pride flags have been a colorful symbol of queer identity. The late artist Gilbert Baker is credited with creating the first pride flag, which he designed in 1978 for Gay Pride Day in San Francisco, per CNN.
