This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.

i just want to add to this post that the last update made to the official pride flag by Glibert Baker before he passed away was THIS:

image

the new lavender stripe at the very top was added to represent DIVERSITY and as far as i am aware, was added in retaliation against trump’s presidency. i’ve not seen many people use this version, and it deserves to be known.

He would be 71 this year! Happy birthday to a true legend 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Gilbert Baker, designer of the Pride Flag, has passed away today at 65 years of age

Recently honored in the ABC series “When We Rise”, the openly gay artist is remembered for designing the unifying symbol of the LGBT community and movement. 

The rainbow flag was first designed and handmade in 1978. A rainbow was used to reflect the fact that LGBT people are of natural beauty. The first flag was flown on June 25, 1978 at San Francisco Pride, with 8 colors. Each had its own meaning: hot pink for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic/art, blue for harmony, and violet for the spirit. Following the assassination of influential leader Harvey Milk, the flag was in high demand and was revised to retain efficiency. Nowadays, the flag is shown as having 6 evens colors, having dropped hot pink and turquoise.

Now we must remember Mr. Baker as designing the seminal symbol for our people. Gone are the days of the pink triangle–we define ourselves. Thank you for giving us this beautiful symbol. The Pride Flag is something that has given us the image for our pride and community. There is nothing I would rather assign myself to more than the rainbow. We will always remember you.

If you aren’t exclusively attracted to the same sex don’t fucking call yourself gay.

Then stop using the terms gay marriage, gay rights, gay bars, gay pride, and gay community when you mean LGBT+ or same-sex. Stop saying “lesbian and gay organization” to refer to LGBT+ organizations – looking at you, pflag! If you don’t want gay to be an umbrella term, stop using it as one.

You can’t force the label gay on bi and pan people against our will and then complain when we use it. It doesn’t work like that.

I'mma gonna reblog this again because it’s making the openly transphobic OP incoherently angry and I am all about that shit.

When I see actual, real Native Americans complain about Magic in North America and say it’s racism from their mouths then I will believe it. 

Hearing it from a non-Native American, I’m not going to believe it.

thefadinggreatperhaps

I am a Native American, and Magic In North America is extremely disrespectful.

This is what a few other Natives have said about it:

Mirai Nagasu is the first USA female figure skater to land the triple axel at Winter Olympics @ Pyeongchang 2018 (and Team USA being the cutest cheering section ever)

jessamygriffin

It’s probably been mentioned but the American skater Mirai Nagasaki is in fact only the third women to land a triple axel at the Olympics.

First AMERICAN.

The first and second were Midori Ito and Mao Asada, Japan.

Thank you.
