You already know what the rainbow flag stands for. It s one of the most recognizable symbols in the world, on par with the American flag or the recycling symbol, and especially during Pride Month, it s everywhere. It is unsurpassed as a global icon in terms of something that stands for hope and diversity, as opposed to a product being sold or a country. It is a global symbol, said Charley Beal, president of the Gilbert Baker Foundation.
