It goes back to 1978, when the artist Gilbert Baker, an openly gay man and a drag queen, designed the first rainbow flag. Baker later revealed that he was urged by Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S., to create a symbol of pride for the gay community. Baker decided to make that symbol a flag because he saw flags as the most powerful symbol of pride. As he later said in an interview, “Our job as gay people was to come out, to be visible, to live in the truth, as I say, to get out of the lie. A flag really fit that mission, because that’s a way of proclaiming your visibility or saying, ‘This is who I am!’” Baker saw the rainbow as a natural flag from the sky, so he adopted eight colors for the stripes, each color with its own meaning (hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit).

The first versions of the rainbow flag were flown on June 25, 1978, for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day parade. Baker and a team of volunteers had made them by hand, and now he wanted to mass-produce the flag for consumption by all. However, because of production issues, the pink and turquoise stripes were removed and indigo was replaced by basic blue, which resulted in the contemporary six-striped flag (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet). Today this is the most common variant of the rainbow flag, with the red stripe on top, as in a natural rainbow. The various colors came to reflect both the immense diversity and the unity of the LGBTQ community.

It was not until 1994 that the rainbow flag was truly established as the symbol for LGBTQ pride. That year Baker made a mile-long version for the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. Now the rainbow flag is an international symbol for LGBTQ pride and can be seen flying proudly, during both the promising times and the difficult ones, all around the world.

EDITS

1. Red - Jungkook

The red in the flag represents life. This makes sense if you think about how blood is red and how often blood is thought of as a vital life force of the body. Red also represents ion among many cultures. And, ion is ideally where life originates from.

How this color resembles him -

he is a ionate, courageous person , he always focus on his work and his loved ones and ofc that inspires me to be ionate and to stop procrastinating

2. Orange - Taehyung

Orange represents healing. As a color, orange is believed to be a fun and celebratory color. Fun and celebration are both healing activities.

How this color resembles him -

Well he is such a fun one , he loves celebrations too and that energetic vibes heals me deeply

3. Yellow - Jimin

If you guessed that yellow represented sunlight, you would be correct. The color yellow functions as the flag's radiant and bright center. The color yellow is said to stimulate new ideas and thoughts.

How this color resembles him -

His personality is bright ofc but also loving and caring one and he Is so smooth and cheesy like butter- yeah lol-

4. Green - RM

There's a lot of green in nature, which is what this color on the original pride flag is meant to convey. Nature is a healing place, and the color green is associated with prosperity and growth.

How this color resembles him -

He is down to earth and also peaceful , has great leadership qualities and loves simple things and stays simple

5. Blue - Sope ( jhope and suga)

The blue in the original pride flag was for serenity. Little is more important than the ability to feel calm and serene. Blue is known as a relaxing color that soothes the soul. The color blue is often used for nighttime consumer products to represent bedtime and calmness.

How this color resembles them -

Well more than blue yellow colour resembles jhope but this is about even few similar qualities to the particular color so well jhope's personality and his smile just soothes MY soul- !

And talking bout suga ,he is such a calm person and stays calm in literally any difficult situation ,and ofc he is a sleepworm too (in a good way)

6. Purple - Jin

The last color, purple, represents spirit. Purple is often thought of as a regal, royal color that, on its own, denotes pride. Like blue, purple is considered a calming color, but rather than being associated only with calm, the color purple connects us to the spiritual realm.

How this color resembles him -

Well Jin is a prideful person who is proud of himself and just is like a royal? Idk how to say it but if we look into the deep of him, he could inspire us in manyyyyyyyyyy ways!
