Sheldon Cooper’s Fun With Flags was a spoof video show in comedy series The Big Bang Theory. So let’s hoist them all up the flagpole and see which ones you want to salute. And we are now living in an infinitely expanding universe of LGBT+ flags. Inspired by this original Pride Flag, other designers have created flags to represent different LGBT+ identities. Since then Baker’s rainbow flag has led Pride parades around the world and become one of the best-known symbols on the planet. But instead he allowed anyone to use it – making it a gift to the world. It all started in 1978 when a San Franciscan artist, Gilbert Baker, created the first rainbow flag to represent the LGBT+ community.Īs its designer, he could have slapped a copyright on it, and probably become a millionaire. However many rainbow Pride flags you’ve seen, we guarantee you don’t know them all.
