    So, Gilbert Baker was the first person to make the rainbow flag in 1978. The eight colors (which is now six, I believe) used were meant to represent different parts of people coming together.

    Hot pink: Sex

    Red: Life

    Orange: Healing

    Yellow: Sunlight

    Green: Nature

    Turquoise: Art/Magic

    Indigo: Harmony/Peace

    Violet: Spirit

    One of the main reasons for its creation is that no one wanted to use the pink triangle which had been the closest thing to a symbol that they had (obviously it had bad backgrounds, due to the use by Nazis as an identifying symbol)
