Gilbert Baker

Gilbert Baker was an American artist, gay rights activist, and designer of the rainbow flag (1978), a worldwide symbol of LGBTQ pride. His flag became widely associated with LGBT rights causes, a symbol of gay pride that has become ubiquitous in the decades since its debut.

Baker served in the Army from 1970 to 1972. He was a medic in San Francisco at the beginning of the gay rights movement and lived there as an openly gay man. Baker was taught to sew by his fellow activist Mary Dunn, using this skill to create banners for gay-rights and anti-war protest marches. It was during this time that he met and became friends with Harvey Milk.

Baker first created the Rainbow Flag with a collective in 1978. He refused to trademark it, seeing it as a symbol that was for the LGBT community.

                           The first flag

In 1979, Baker began work at Paramount Flag Company. Baker designed displays for Dianne Feinstein, the Premier of China, the presidents of France, Venezuela, and the Philippines, the King of Spain, and many others. He also designed creations for numerous civic events and San Francisco Gay Pride. In 1984, he designed flags for the Democratic National Convention.

In 1994, Baker moved to New York City, where he lived for the rest of his life. Here, he continued his creative work and activism. That year he created the world's largest flag (at that time) in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots. It was a mile long!


In 2003, to commemorate the Rainbow Flag's 25th anniversary, Baker created a Rainbow Flag that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in Key West. After the commemoration, he sent sections of this flag to more than 100 cities around the world. Due to his creation of the rainbow flag, Baker often used the drag queen name "Busty Ross", alluding to Betsy Ross.

Flag

The colors on the Rainbow Flag reflect the diversity of the LGBT community. When Baker raised the first rainbow flags at San Francisco Pride (his group raised two flags at the Civic Center) on June 25, 1978, it comprised eight symbolic colors:
Hot pink ~ Sex
Red ~ Life
Orange ~ Healing
Yellow ~ Sunlight
Green ~ Nature
Turquoise ~ Magic/Art
Indigo ~ Serenity
Violet ~ Spirit

The design has undergone several revisions to remove two colors for expediency and later re-add those colors when they became more widely available.
As of 2008, the most common variant consists of six stripes, with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Baker referred to this version of the flag as the "commercial version" because it came about due to practical considerations of mass production.

In his new, posthumously released memoir Rainbow Warrior: My Life in Color, Pride flag designer Gilbert Baker recalled a psychedelic night spent dancing in a San Francisco nightclub, noticing the colors all around him: black leather, pink hair, blue jeans.
“We rode the mirrored ball on glittering LSD and love power,” Baker writes. “Dance fused us, magical and cleansing. We were all in a swirl of color and light. It was like a rainbow.”

That, Baker notes, was “the moment when I knew exactly what kind of flag I would make.”

The rainbow flag was created at a turning point in LGBTQ history. In 1978, Baker sewed the first rainbow flag in large part because legendary gay rights leader Harvey Milk and filmmaker Artie Bressan Jr. wanted a more joyous symbol than the Holocaust-era pink triangle to represent the fight for equality.

In 2015, the Museum of Modern Art had ranked the rainbow flag as an internationally recognized symbol as important as the recycling symbol.

Baker died at home in his sleep on March 31, 2017, at age 65, in New York City. The New York City medical examiner's office determined cause of death was hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Upon Baker's death, California state senator Scott Wiener said Baker "helped define the modern LGBT movement".

In June 2019, Baker was one of the inaugural fifty American “pioneers, trailblazers, and heroes” inducted on the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor within the Stonewall National Monument. The SNM is the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ rights and history, and the wall’s unveiling was timed to take place during the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
