today is an iconic day for a history-defining flag. 🏳️‍🌈 in 1978, American artist #GilbertBaker designed the unifying symbol for the #LGBTQIA+ community after being commissioned by openly gay politician #HarveyMilk. since its creation, the flag has served as a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and ongoing LGBTQ+ movements. while the original rainbow flag has since been modified to reflect history and more queer identities and groups, the #PrideFlag is an indelible piece of American history. raise your flags a little higher today!
