The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.
Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.
LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

Made a homemade pizza for the supper while we watched. Vegan pizza for me and vegetarian for her (cheese). Made some dipping sauce out of mustard, vegan mayo, and some caesar dressing and stuff.
Still despairing.
Andor's really good. The locations and the details to the scenes all feel perfect and the political depth makes the story feel really logical. Not having any "why don't they do..." thoughts during it.
I love the highlight of Indigeniety vs Settler/Imperial all over it! There's a lot about local culture, clothing, spiritual or cultural events, specific geographies - and then watching it all get erased and crushed under the Empire as this big drab white blob with the perfect encapsulation of that being the faceless Stormtrooper. It was always in the media but it wasn't as brought up to the center of vision like it is in Andor, and Andor isn't explicit about it it just centers the struggle.
