Manuel Balce Ceneta—AP ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] The rainbow flag is a worldwide symbol of the LGBT community, but it's birthplace is in San Francisco and it's creation is thanks to a man named Gilbert Baker. Baker moved to San Francisco as an Army draftee in 1970. It was there that he became acquainted with Harvey Milk and they gay rights movement. Gay rights now. After sewing many banners for gay events and marches, the San Francisco Gay and **** Pride Parade commissioned him to design a symbol that could be used for years to come. And this is what Baker came up with the original rainbow flag. The rainbow is a beautiful part of nature. All of the colors and even the colors you can't see. So that really fit us as a people because we are all of the colors. Our sexuality is all of the colors, where all the genders, races and ages. Each color represents something different Pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for the human spirit. The flag later evolved to have six stripes. Turquoise was swapped for blue and pink and indigo were taken out. And decades later, the flag can still be seen linked proudly from nearly every pride parade and march around the world. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3937535/us-supreme-court-gay-same-sex-marriage-twitter-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3937535/us-supreme-court-gay-same-sex-marriage-twitter-reactions/"},"headline":"Here's How Celebrities Are Reacting to the Gay Marriage Decision","datePublished":"2015-06-26T15:10:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:23:11.478Z","description":"Tweets from President Obama, Ellen DeGeneres and more","url":"https://time.com/3937535/us-supreme-court-gay-same-sex-marriage-twitter-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","society"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt775bd86e0fa12b18/6988588735ba6fc0b9c0df25/supreme-court-gay-marriage-ruling.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
