Happy Pride Month! Gilbert Baker designed the first LGBT Community flag in 1978 pictured here. There were originally 8 colors: pink (for s*x), red (for life), orange (for healing), yellow (the sun), green (for nature), turquoise (for art & magic), blue (for serenity), and purple (the spirit). The next year, the pink and turquoise stripes were removed because of cost and display considerations.
