From all of us at ManeSpace, we wish our LGBTQIA+ communities in NYC and beyond, a very !!! Have a great time today! Read below for a little history behind our beloved

- The Gilbert Baker Pride Flag: Commissioned by Harvey Milk in 1977 and designed by Gilbert Baker, debuted at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade in 1978. Inspired by Judy Garland’s “Over The Rainbow”, it was s symbol of inclusion for the Le***an, Gay, Bi-sexual and Trans communities.

- Traditional Gay Pride Flag: This is the most familiar flag. In 1979, the community landed on this six-color version, which was hung from lampposts in San Francisco. Numerous complications over having an odd-number of colors led to turquoise being dropped, at least according to reports.

- Progress Pride Flag: Daniel Quasar, who identifies as q***r and nonbinary, designed this flag. The white, pink, and light blue reflect the colors of the transgender flag, while the brown and black stripes represent people of color and those lost to AIDS. “When the Pride flag was recreated in the last year to include both black/brown stripes as well as the trans stripes included this year, I wanted to see if there could be more emphasis in the design of the flag to give it more meaning,” Quasar explained on his Kickstarter.

Colorways of the Pride Progress Flag:

🌈 RED = Life (passion for life)
🌈 ORANGE = Healing (Celebrating)
🌈 YELLOW = Light (ideas & thoughts)
🌈 GREEN = Nature (growth & prosperity)
🌈 BLUE = Serenity (Calmness)
🌈 PURPLE = Pride (Spiritual)
🌈 BLACK/BROWN = Representing People of color & those lost to AIDS.
🌈 PINK/BLUE/WHITE = Representing Trans, Intersex & gender binary people

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈

😇A police officer paid for a family's Christmas groceries instead of charging two women with shoplifting. WE NEED MORE MATT LIMA’s in this country! STORY In bio❤️ Officers have gotten such a bad wrap (excuse the pun) especially over the last year. Let’s celebrate these officers who are out there doing the “right thing”. Serving and protecting the American people with empathy and respect. Matt Lima, you deserve to be promoted and in charge of leading our men and women in Blue into a new era of policing. You are a true hero in our eyes!
