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.

haha hey karaoke is intimidating! I love going to watch people and cheer them on though.I did it once or twice but then a while later I heard a recording of myself singing and pledged never to do it again

What's your song?

Oh god I got so many. Beck - Where It's At, Tool - The Pot, Green Day - Brain Stew, Cake - I Will Survive (cover), Shinedown Simple Man (cover), Marilyn Manson -Tainted Love (cover), Flobots - Handlebars, Run The Jewels - Nobody Speak.

I was a musical theatre kid so I am real good at singing and learning songs. Give me like 4 hours and I can probably crush any request you have. Give me a sing and I'll record it live with an audience just to flex lol

I get Handlebars stuck in my head like twice a year lol. If I ever did karaoke again it would be to Loser by Beck because it's basically just talking, not even rapping really, and I know all the words so it would definitely be my time to shine
