Best Answer

The rainbow flag or Pride Flag was used during the 1970s LGBT movement to show the unity but also the diversity of the LGBT community. It was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker. Symbolically, the colours show the diversity of all members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, united under one cause.
