dabatey:mythicalpiranha:bonae-artes-liberales:This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was. i just want to add to this post that the last update made to the official pride flag by Glibert Baker before he passed away was THIS:the new lavender stripe at the very top was added to represent DIVERSITY and as far as i am aware, was added in retaliation against trump’s presidency. i’ve not seen many people use this version, and it deserves to be known. yeah let’s also not forget he said this before he died he also was unable to receive any royalties regardless of worldwide corporate capitalization on his design and died in relative indigency -- source link
