To get prepared for Pride, here's 10 pride flags whose symbolism everyone should know. The rainbow flag, however, is not the only queer pride flag around. The rainbow pride flag, created in 1978 by gay activist Gilbert Baker, has occasionally gone through some cosmetic changes - including a petition to add black and brown to the flag to uplift queer people of color - but it is still the single most unifying and identifiable symbol of the LGBTQ+ community. It's officially Pride Month, which means you're going to spend the next 29 days surrounded by all things rainbow.
