The rainbow flag has become an internationally recognized symbol of gay pride and LGBTQIA+ rights. The original design by Gilbert Baker was chosen for its simplicity; because rainbows are natural phenomena, they can be found in many cultures around the world, and also give the impression of “every color under the sun.”
