bitchimtrying 2,495 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The original artist who designed the pride flag, Gilbert Baker, has unfortunately passed away aged 65. He designed the flag in 1978 to reflect nature andthe diversity of the lgbt community. A couple of years ago he presented President Obama with the original hand sewn flag, which was then displayed at the white house. RIP Gilbert Baker.

YaaaasGaga 6,119 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You really can't get remembered for anything better than creating a symbol that represents an entire oppressed minority group that stands for unification, strength, struggle, courage, love and pride. He really will go down in the history books, especially for us in the LGBT community. Gone, but never forgotten. RIP Gilbert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
