The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

My favorite local band from when I was a teen played a reunion show, saw their first show in 08 and they kinda got me into the DIY punk thing ans introduced me to people and stuff. They broke up in 2012 or so. It was fun but weird. I don't get out to hang shows now cause work schedule and I'm just kinda over punk. Seeing a bunch of people from way back that dropped for similar reasons or just moved and the people that were still making it their main thing didn't revive my love of DIY punk. Barely anyone under 40 was there, palestine wasn't mentioned once cause none of the bands talked. It was boring and the reunion band was sloppy af. I know their shit well and could only recognize 3 songs. I'm gratified in my show up sometimes status. There's an every 2 weeks expiremental/noise show at a cooler venue that's been more my thing lately

Damn, that's too bad :( I dropped out of the diy punk scene over a decade ago but recently I've gone to a few shows and been real happy. The scene here is so much more queer and cool than it used to be. There was a Palestine flag flying at the show I went to last night. And while I say punk, there is a variety there. Last night had a sick thrash metal band. And a punk band that had an electric violin. I had a blast.
