The origins of Pride The symbolism of Pride flags and the rainbow Flying Tiger Copenhagen's commitment to inclusivity Colourful inspiration The origins of Pride Once upon a time in 1969, the LGBT+ community took a stand against discrimination and police harassment during the Stonewall Riots in New York City. This brave act sparked a movement that has since grown into a worldwide celebration of love, freedom, and self-expression. Today, Pride events in cities big and small honour the courage of those who fought for equality and remind us of the ongoing struggle for LGBT+ rights. The symbolism of Pride flags and the rainbow Ever wonder about the story behind the iconic rainbow flag? Well, the magical world of colours we know as the Pride flag was created in 1978 by artist Gilbert Baker. Each colour represents a different aspect of LGBT+ life, from life and healing to harmony and spirit. And guess what? There's more than just one Pride flag! There are flags for various identities within the LGBT+ community, such as bisexual, transgender, and non-binary. Celebrating all these identities is an essential part of embracing the full spectrum of the human experience. Did we pique your curiosity?
