The triangle, however, was reclaimed by the LGBTQ community and used as a symbol of power decades later.
But many people, including Gilbert Baker, wanted a symbol for the community that was innately positive - thus the birth of the rainbow flag.
Artist Gilbert Baker, designer of the Rainbow Flag, is draped with the flag while holding a banner that reads Boycott Homophobia before the start of the St. Patrick s Day parade, Monday, March 17, 2014 in New York.
According to the Gilbert Baker Foundation, Baker designed and created the first rainbow flag in 1978. Baker was a vexillograpaher, or flag maker, for more than 40 years before passing away in 2017.

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.
But the flag wasn t always so ubiquitous, and its predecessors included a lavender rhinoceros, the Greek letter lambda, and the pink triangle â all of which have their own separate meanings and histories but weren t accepted by the LGBTQ+ community at large.
Conforme pasan los años la
bandera LGBT+ ha ido cambiando su diseño y este año en redes sociales se viralizó una nueva versión que
tiene como objetivo ser más inclusiva, pues además de tener los seis colores del arcoíris,
se le agregó un triangulo con cinco colores más.
La famosa bandera de arcoíris fue creada originalmente por
Gilbert Baker en 1978 comenzando con 8 colores, pero en aquel entonces era complicado producir los colores rosa que significaba sexo y turquesa, magia- arte y tuvieron que eliminarlos.
