This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.
i just want to add to this post that the last update made to the official pride flag by Glibert Baker before he passed away was THIS:
the new lavender stripe at the very top was added to represent DIVERSITY and as far as i am aware, was added in retaliation against trump’s presidency. i’ve not seen many people use this version, and it deserves to be known.
[Image description: a sheer, tulle cape. It’s a pale pink at the top, pale blue in the middle, and black at the bottom. Lines of flowers and leaves border each color, as well as the hem. It has a gold border. End description.]
