Gilbert Baker, the activist who made the quintessential queer pride flag, said what inspired him about the flag was that it represented the “rainbow of humanity.” It’s Pride Month, and we want to celebrate the enduring bravery and ever growing legacy of love of not just the Stonewall Uprising and ensuing movements. We want to celebrate and honor the similar stories around the world, of radical love and rebelling against oppression. We want to remember both these larger movements made of countless hands and voices brought together, but also of the individual stories told and lost to time of our siblings, brothers, and sisters before and after.
