In honor of Pride month, let’s take a look back at the incredible story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag.

Harvey Milk was a trailblazing LGBTQ+ activist and politician who became the first openly gay elected official in California when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk was a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and worked tirelessly to fight against discrimination and promote equality for all.

One of Milk’s most lasting legacies is his role in the creation of the Rainbow Flag, which has become a powerful symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and solidarity. The flag was designed by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 at Milk’s request, and it quickly became an iconic symbol of the LGBTQ+ community. Each color of the flag represents a different aspect of LGBTQ+ identity – red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for harmony, and purple for spirit.

Tragically, Milk’s life was cut short when he was assassinated in 1978, but his legacy lives on through his work and the symbol of the Rainbow Flag. Today, the flag is flown proudly at Pride events around the world, serving as a reminder of the progress that has been made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and the work that still needs to be done.

As we celebrate Pride month, let’s remember Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag as symbols of hope, resilience, and the power of unity in the face of adversity. Happy Pride! #Pride #HarveyMilk #RainbowFlag
