Should we update the LGTB + flag?
GAYLES.TV.- La LGBT flag It has been used as a symbol of pride since the late 70s. Gilbert Baker created a flag with eight colors that were intended to reflect the diversity of the community LGBT.
Pink (sexuality), Red (life), Orange (health), Yellow (sunlight), Green (nature), Turquoise (magic / art), Indigo (serenity) and Violet (spirit) waved for the first time in the Pride of San Francisco el June 25, 1978. That first design underwent changes due to the low availability of fabrics of some colors on the market and ended up imposing a flag with six colors (regardless of pink and turquoise).

A symbol for everyone
En 2017, Amber hikes and his team the LGTB Affairs Office from the city of Philadelphia they set out to create a symbol that recognized all racialized people whose stories had also been «silenced«. One who «rreally present»Their experiences, which would serve to listen to them and highlight racism outside and within the community LGTB +. Two new bars were added: one black and one brown with the aim of giving visibility to the fight against racism and honoring African-American members of the community.
A year later, the designer Daniel Quasar launched another proposal that merged the flag of Philadelphia and the flag Trans (designed by Monica Helms and presented in society in the year 2000 with the colors turquoise, blue and pink). The flag of Quasar aims to be more inclusive and unite the diversity of the community LGTB +.
Its use is rapidly expanding. Will it replace the flag of Baker? It is undeniable that the collective brings together more and more diversities and it is difficult to find a symbol that represents them all. We are faced with a dilemma like the classic dance of acronyms so that we all feel represented. Time will tell what formula is finally imposing itself.
