Description
Whether you're celebrating your pride or showing support as an ally, proudly display our high-quality rainbow flags as a symbol of unity and love.
Our LGBTQ pride flags are made in America of nylon, a quick-drying material that helps prevent mildew growth after rain and humid weather. Additionally, this flag is fully sewn, meaning each stripe is sewn together instead of printed onto one piece of fabric. This adds durability to each of our gay pride flags and makes them fray-resistant.
This flag is suitable for indoor display and outdoor flying. Its sturdy canvas header and brass grommets make it easy to attach to an outdoor flagpole or hang on a wall.

Rainbow Pride Flag Colors & Meaning
Gilbert Baker created the original gay flag in 1978 after receiving inspiration from Harvey Milk to create an icon to represent the gay community. These LGBT flags were flown for the first time at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade.
However, the design of the original LGBT flag was a little different than the one we know today: It had eight stripes of hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo, and violet. Over the following two years, two colors were dropped from the flag. Hot pink was removed because the fabric in that color was difficult to come by, and turquoise was removed so that the flag would have an even number of stripes.
The meaning of each color of the rainbow flag is as follows:
- Red: Life
- Orange: Healing
- Yellow: Sunlight
- Green: Nature
- Indigo / Blue: Serenity
- Violet: Spirit
What is the Difference Between the Rainbow Flag and the Progressive Pride Flag?
The Rainbow Flag, with its six horizontal stripes—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—has long been a symbol of pride and unity for the LGBTQ+ community, representing its diversity and resilience.
The Progress Pride Flag builds on this design, adding a chevron on the left side with black and brown stripes to represent marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color and light blue, pink, and white stripes from the Transgender Pride Flag. The chevron points forward, symbolizing progress and the ongoing fight for inclusion.
