Use of the rainbow flag began in the 1970s, primarily on the West Coast where it could be seen waving in the wind during Gay Pride marches.

The six colors of the rainbow represent the diversity of the lesbian and gay community, a community that encompasses people from all backgrounds, races, and national origins and that spans the panoply of faiths and experience
PRINTED NYLON: Printed nylon is
an economical flag. The flag is printed

the colors is based entirely on your location, weather, how often the flag is
displayed.
SEWN NYLON: Sewn Nylon is color
strips of the flag sewn together to form the flag. This type of flag is a higher quality flag
and can expect to have a life longer than the PRINTED NYLON. Again, how long will the flag maintain the
colors is based on your location, weather, how often the flag is displayed and

flags. The flag poll has (2) hooks that hold

the pole to hold the flag in place.
