In 2009, Natalie Phox’s Intersex flag is posted to Wikimedia commons. The next three weren’t until the bi flag (1998), lesbian Labrys (1999), and trans flag (1999). It started a tradition of striped queer Pride flags. Problems sourcing materials eventually condensed it back down to the classic 6-stripe rainbow in 1979. Baker made an 8-color variation on the rainbow flag, a prominent symbol of peace. In 1977, Harvey Milk challenged Gilbert Baker, an openly gay activist, to create a symbol for the gay community.
