The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that states cannot ban love!

  Now, Everything is coming up rainbows!

With the Stonewall anniversary just around the corner, today’s ruling is all the more reason to celebrate. So in honor of this historic day, PHAG is taking a look back at the roots of our PHamily tree.

Gilbert Baker designed the iconic rainbow flag nearly forty years ago. It debuted at the Gay Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978 in San Francisco’s United Nations Plaza. His original design celebrating unity and gay pride featured eight colors, each with its own proud significance.

“My vision and the vision of so many of us was that this was a global struggle and a global human rights issue. And now, here we are all these years later — we’re not there yet by any stretch of the imagination but in my lifetime we have come far.” ~Gilbert Baker

And we’re still going.

Long may she wave!
