This is the world's best-known version of the rainbow flag, sometimes called the "freedom flag." It was popularized by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 as a symbol of homosexual pride and the diversity of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people (in English the first letters of these words form the acronym LGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender). The different colors symbolize the diversity of the gay community and the flag is predominantly used at gay pride events and in gay communities around the world, in various forms such as banners, clothing and jewelry. For the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which took place in New York City in 1994, a 1.6 kilometer rainbow flag was created and then cut into sections that are still used around the world.
