Honoring the Past. Inspiring the Future.
Since its introduction in 1978, the Rainbow Flag has become one of the most recognized symbols of hope, visibility, diversity, and community in the world.
​
Its story reflects the courage, creativity, and determination of countless individuals who worked to build a more inclusive and compassionate society.
​
The 50th anniversary offers an opportunity not only to honor that legacy, but also to consider the work that remains ahead.
