✍️ The Design: When Gilbert Baker designed the original LGBT Pride Rainbow Flag, it had eight stripes. The turquoise and hot pink stripes were dropped over time for various reasons leading to the modern six stripe rainbow flag. But if you're here, you want to fly the original! 🧵Our flags are made from hand-selected durable polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap thin fabrics that snag easily). In our testing, we selected our fabric as the perfect flag material - anything lighter snags, and anything heavier doesn't fly as well. 🌏Created and shipped in the most earth-conscious way we can.
