Gilbert Baker

Intro:

Do you know Gilbert Baker? Have you heard of Gilbert Baker? Gilbert Baker is a well known protester as he started the protest for LGBTQ which stands for, lesiban, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. In his time he created “The Rainbow Flag” In 1978.

Gilbert Baker was born on June 2 , 1951 in Chanute Kansas, United States. He sadly passed on March 31, 2017 in New York. Gilberts ‘father was a judge and his mother was a teacher. He also served in the United States army for about two years from 1970 to 1972. He was also set as a medic in San Francisco at the beginning of the gay rights movement, and lived there as an openly gay man.

In the late 1960’s young gay men and lesbian women were arriving from all of the country in San Francisco and all over the world. Many of them fled the places where they were experiencing unbelievable violence, threats and repression. One of them was Gilbert Baker, Gilbert met someone named Cleve Jones and they were both young activists they both planned the 1977 San Francisco Gay Pride Event. Back then they called it “Gay Freedom Day” Where you get to be free and express who you are.


They were all a part of the circle of activists who were talking about needing a new symbol to express themselves and connect us all equally. And thats when Gilbert Baker came up with the idea of a rainbow flag. He showed his drawings and ideas to Cleve Jones and saw the power straight away, each color has its own meaning and a special significance. With a team of volunteers including Cleve and Gilbert they sewed and dyed the flags in preparation for “Gay Freedom Day” Which must’ve taken a long time meaning that this meant alot to them! During Gilbert Bakers time he designed and worked on his flag that he created as a Symbol that was for the LGBTQ community. Gilbert saw the rainbow as a natural flag from the sky, so he adopted eight colors for the stripes, each color with its own meaning (hot pink for gender, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit.


Conclusion: Gilbert Baker protests were successful in his time and still is till this day. There are Rainbow flags hung up all over the world still representing the LGBTQ but not only that but representing Gilbert Baker and his achievements in his years! :))
