The rainbow flag - also known sometimes known as the gay pride or LGBT+ flag - has been updated to mark Pride Month. The new ‘Intersex-inclusive’ flag continues the tradition of the Pride flag being updated. But what is the history of the flag and what do the colours mean? BBC LGBT correspondent Ben Hunte explains. The original pride flag was created by Gilbert Baker and introduced in 1978. In 2017, Amber Hikes for the City of Philadelphia introduced a version with black and brown stripes added - to represent communities of colour. A year later Daniel Quasar redesigned the flag to also include the transgender community, creating the ‘Pride progress flag’. This design incorporates the trans flag which was originally created by Monica Helms - blue and pink are colours historically associated with baby boys and girls, while the middle stripe is for those who are transitioning. Now, the ‘Intersex-inclusive pride flag’ has been introduced by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK. Morgan Carpenter created the intersex flag in 2013 - a circle represents wholeness and the fight for intersex people to be who they want to be. There are many Pride flags - from asexual to straight ally - and this new version continues the tradition of the LGBT flag being updated to be more inclusive. June marks Pride month – When LGBT communities and allies come together and celebrate the progress that has been made towards equal rights. #shorts Subscribe to #BBCMyWorld here: https://bit.ly/3wxzdPx
