@_whoisuli_: the pride flag started with a sewing machine in 1978, artist gilbert baker created the original rainbow pride flag in san francisco with the help of volunteers who hand-dyed and sewed the fabric. the first design featured eight colors, including pink and turquoise, which were later removed to create the familiar six-stripe version. what began as a handmade symbol of hope and liberation has become one of the world’s most recognizable symbols of love, equality and lgbtq+ pride #prideflag #fyp
