Soon the banner was proudly flapping around the world-from the Castro to Key West, from Christopher Street to the canals of Amsterdam, from the pleasure boats of the Seine to the barges on the Thames. Thirty volunteers helped make the first two flags in the attic of the Gay Community Center in San Francisco. Each color had 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. In 1978 Baker and a bunch of his friends designed the first rainbow flag, urged on by Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in the history of California. “A flag really fit that mission, because that’s a way of proclaiming your visibility or saying, ‘This is who I am!’ ” “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,” the artist and drag performer Gilbert Baker, who is credited with creating the gay-pride rainbow flag, once explained.
