    It evolved during the 1960s civil rights acitivism where the rainbow intially stood as a symbol of freedom for most oppressed groups. However, it did not intially include gay and lesbian groups. The shift to representing gay pride happend in the late 1960s after the Stonewall Rebellion.

    • I agree, the rainbow is a symbol of all the colours coexisting to make something even more beautiful. Its a symbol of diversity, equality and acceptance. +5
