Born on 2 June 1951, in Chanute, Kansas, Gilbert Baker was instrumental in the creation of the rainbow flag, now an internationally recognised symbol of the queer community.
In 1978, openly-gay politician Harvey Milk asked Gilbert to design a symbol for that year's pride celebrations in San Francisco. Gilbert chose the rainbow as a symbol that was beautiful, diverse, and natural.
