Original rainbow flag returns home to San Francisco after being lost for more than 40 years [ABC] This happened just this year! Article includes background on the flag from its creator, Gilbert Baker.

Oh, I love learning the meaning he had for each color.

This is wonderful.

I'm glad the flag has come home.

Thank you for posting this, hippybear!

Oh, that's cool. Makes one wonder what other historic artifacts is just tucked away in basements and garages around the world.

My boyfriend is an artist and is making stickers for Pride. I asked him to do one with the original flag colors. :)
