We all know the famous rainbow flag that represents gay pride. There are, however, many flags recognized among the LGBTQ+ community to symbolize the wide range of sexual orientations and gender identities.
Why are there so many LGBTQ and gender flags and meanings to stand for the specific groups of the community?

Rainbow Flag
Created in by Gilbert Baker, the iconic Pride Rainbow flag originally had eight stripes. The colors included pink to represent sexuality, red for healing, yellow for sun, adj for serenity with nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit.
