I always thought it originated from “somewhere over the rainbow” sung by Judy Garland and the Wizard of Oz. She was such a huge gay icon, and I just assumed that that is where it came from made sense to me.
You learn something new everyday. This is interesting.
Once it became the alphabet community symbol, it ruined the rainbow for me. For me the rainbow meant, "look at the bright side." After the storm, comes the rainbow, but it doesn't mean that anymore 🤨
Ok 🙄…
That was their intention
Wasnt the gay rainbow started as a translucent sticker ? I remember seeing those way before any flag
I hope she repents of her sin and turns to Jesus before she dies in her sins.
Ain’t nothing sinful about her. 🏳️🌈
@@danomyte67the Bible says “all have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory”. And scripture is clear that men laying with men and women laying with women is wicked and sinful. Read Romans 1
@@ryanehlis426 uh huh. Well Buddha says it’s A Ok in his book. 😎
Or she might get the fast pass in, you aren't God..
And the one quoting scripture translated from multiple languages do you have some sort of Doctorate in Divinity or religious studies ???
Thank you for this segment!
I don't like the new colors and stripes. They make the flag ugly. For me, the traditional rainbow flag is perfect because it's the flag of sexual diversity. It doesn't exclude anyone. So there's no need to change it.
Yeah it’s never had anything to do with race or exclusion of a race. Not sure why they had to bring that into it.
Exactly! There was no need for any new “pride progress” flag, the original is the original and so many flags to represent so many subgroups only creates more division.
As a gay guy, I always thought it was tacky, but hearing one of the creators of the flag, I now have a new love for it. "Represents the full spectrum." Lovw that!❤
Very glad you changed your mind from "tacky" 🤯🤯🤯
We are all God's children 🌈 ❤ Love each other
Can't love God and lgbtq at the same time.
@@Ghostyboydead sure you can.
God made the rainbow as a promise to us that he will not destroy the earth by floods again. Don’t make it something it’s not.
I knew Gilbert, wish they would stop amending his rainbow flag, which was meant for all queer people.
Agreed, COMPLETELY! The 9,365 new derivations of it are indecipherable and NO one is going to memorize them!
Many thanks to Lynn Segerblom ( Fairie Argyle Rainbow ) , for having the courage to tell the full story of the creation of the Pride Flag.. If the history of the gay rights movement is honored at the Los Angeles LGBT Center , then why does the Billboard only mention the Assassination of Harvey Milk in 1978 and nothing about the Creation of the Pride Flag ? That sucks ! "🌈🌈❤❤🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈😍😍🌈🌈😁🏳🌈🏳🌈❤
Oh she slays
Happy Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Thank you for making such a wonderful symbol
You just can’t beat the original ❤ Everytime I see that new woke version, I cringe 😬
“New?” The Rainbow Flag is nearly 50 years old.
Thank you for this ❤
So she helped co-op an innocent kid’s rainbow huh? Interesting 🤔
This made me so emotional. I didn’t expect that. Thank you for this amazing report. Funny enough I have a rainbow on my shirt right now while watching this. 🏳️🌈
No it’s God’s reminder to never flood the earth again.
God isn’t real, sweetheart.
It’s actually light passing through water droplets
Take your meds, Billy Bob.
@@KoltonBlaze625 not here to debate you...but God so, so love you...
The rainbow is in the sky. I promise you, I have seen it.
☮️💖
So that’s who ruined what used to be the timeless beautiful rainbow for us ALL
Even more beautiful now

Our community is ruined by what it has become😢
Speak for yourself
daynomyte,
When segments of our community start going after the kids expect a backlash.
@@danomyte67 I've been in this community for over 30 years. It has turned into a shyte show. The general acceptance of the community has diminished due to the unaccepting activism. Don't be blind and see what's in front of you.
Msdarkstar I can't read your full statement 😢
@@msdarkstar44 Don't be blind to the fact that you're older and now resentful of CHANGE. And don't forget that anyone gay, bi, trans, any of it, were not accepted initially. Just because things are broadening, don't turn into the same thing as your own oppressor.
What happened to her head
THAT'S your take away from this beautiful and touching video?!? Are you about 11?
When they get older their true gender comes through!
This is so stupid
Lookin' in the mirror again, are ya', Goober??
👎
I agree koo koo
So she "created" a flag based on the symbol that the Creator gave as a sign that He wouldn't flood the earth again? That's appropriation, not creation.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiight🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ok 🙄…. I would ask yourself what would Jesus do!?
@@user-bv7mk8id5t He would say go and sin NO MORE. That's literally what He told everyone he forgave for their sins. Those that blasphemed His Father, though, Jesus drove them out of the Temple with a whip and called others a brood of vipers and demons. He was lion and lamb, lawyer and judge. His grace is given for us to change to what He wants by choice, not to continue on what we're deceived into doing.
