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.

Oh I know that. I'm just like...baffled. He should know better.

A look at the horror, of the pimps of war

Their weapons whore, just who wields the missile-cock?

And even punks scream for sanctioned slaughter

Wholesale murder, suck the butcher's missile cock

I remember back in '84

When punks opposed all fucking war

A nuclear threat knocked at our door

But still, a punk was a fucking punk

You sang 'guns for the Afghan rebels'

Well now those rebels are your devils

America's ego leveled

I thought this was the fucking point

Punks wrapped up in fucking flags

I'd like to wrap you up in body bags

Take your fucking toe tags

And add them to the list of traitors

When did this patriotic pox

Start infecting our punk rock?

Cops and jocks with mohawks

Sucking on the missile cock
