What does rainbow mean?

The colors of rainbows represent diversity and tolerance, so rainbows are used to represent gay groups.

The most colorful symbol representing homosexuality is still the rainbow flag, which combines the colors of the rainbow-red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple-to represent the diversity of gay groups.

Rainbow flags are not only popular in the United States, but also as a symbol of homosexuality in Commonwealth countries. For example, the Baudry subway station in Montreal, Canada, as a subway station in a gay town, has designed an element with a rainbow flag in its renovation.

Historical background

The design of rainbow flag consists of eight colors, two more than the currently internationally recognized version of LGBT community symbols, and each color is endowed with symbolic meaning.

According to the original plan, the bright pink ribbon (representing) passes through the top of the national flag, followed by red (representing life), orange (representing healing), yellow (representing sunshine), green (representing nature), sky blue (representing magic), indigo (representing tranquility) and purple (representing spirit) at the bottom.

1In June, 978, the eight-color rainbow flag was first displayed in the United Nations Square in downtown San Francisco. This eight-color rainbow flag was made by 30 volunteers. They occupied the washing machine of a public laundry to clean the dyes on the fabrics, and ironed and sewed several pieces of fabrics in the spacious attic of a gay community center.
