Description
Medium-sized white badge with a heart shape in the centre made out with ropes with the rainbow colours and text at the edges that reads "LESBIAN AND GAY PRIDE 1995".
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.)
