Metal enamel pin in a triangle shape with six stripes of the rainbow Pride flag. The red stripe is the largest, through orange, yellow, orange, green, blue, and to the smallest stripe of purple at the point.
Rainbow colours and flags have been associated with the LGBTQIA community since 1978 when gay artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag as a symbol of pride. The original design had eight colours with their own meanings, but the simplified six-colour rainbow is more commonly used today (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.)
