Gilbert’s original meanings for the colours are as follows; hot pink for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. Now ubiquitous, the rainbow flag once looked quite different – though it’s always had the ambitions of the LGBT community at its heart. Though the Progress Pride Flag has not completely replaced the old six-color rainbow flag, it has taken over in many spaces. Where the rainbow flag gives a message of supporting LGBTQIA+ people, the Progress Pride Flag offers the message of supporting all of them. Additionally, the black and brown stripes are meant to represent people living with HIV/AIDS, those who have died from it, and the stigma around the virus that is still present in our society now. It wasn't until recent years that our society acknowledged that the pride movement originated thanks to Black trans activists such as Marsha P. Johnson, who notoriously fought back against police at the Stonewall Inn in June of 1969.
The Meaning of the New Progress Pride Flag
Nurses are prominent double-duty caregivers, tending to family and patients [44]. The majority of our participants had children, reflecting the fact that in Japan, 55–66% of nurses are parents [16, 45]. Therefore, balancing family and work is crucial, regardless of career breaks.

Nine projects designed for and by the LGBT+ community
A newer version of the Progress Pride Flag, designed by Valentino Vecchietti, was announced in June 2021. It includes a yellow triangle and purple circle inside of the chevron shape to represent the intersex community. As the gay rights movement gained steam, civil rights leader Harvey Milk asked Gilbert to create a symbol of the movement. For Pride month, we wanted to deep dive into the history of the Pride flag — an iconic design that has represented freedom and power for more than 40 years. The funder had no role in the conceptualization, design, data collection, analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.

Select items are stocked at the Brooklyn Museum, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and Ethel’s Club. This uptick in new pride flags includes the Progress Pride Flag created by graphic designer Daniel Quasar in 2018. The widespread use of the pride flag allows LGBTQIA+ individuals to connect with each other and feel included regardless of their location. No matter where you are or how you identify, the rainbow colors are meant to signify that you are included, welcome, and safe as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Sarah has served on the AIA Atlanta Board of Directors and currently serves at the AIA Young Architect’s Forum Advisory Committee, Community Director. In telling stories through the lens of lived experiences, the hope is for this space to become yours and continue to grow as all of our stories are shared. We recognize that the voices of LGBTQIA+ professionals are not often heard or have space (and many times the safety) to be shared; our purpose is to change that. As we continue to discover connection and community beyond a blog, we look forward to sharing resources, discovering grassroots organizations, and celebrating your story. As for design’s role in this, she says it has been and will continue to be a tool for all to use – as she points out, a lot of design work now and in LGBTQ history has been done by those who aren’t necessarily professional designers.
landmarks that underscore L.A.’s pivotal role in the fight for LGBTQ rights
Ensuring credibility, confirmability, transferability and dependability contributes to the trustworthiness of the study [42]. The interviewer (i.e., the first author) took notes on the participants’ facial expressions and eye movements during the interview, which were included in the analysis along with the verbatim transcripts of the interview data. During the analysis process, the first author repeatedly read the transcripts and observational notes to code the data. For confirmability, two researchers independently categorized the codes, and discussions among the research team took place repeatedly to ensure the elimination of any preconceptions or biases. Any disagreements that arose during this process were resolved through discussions among the research team. To enhance the transferability of the findings, participants were recruited from diverse practice areas and various regions.
Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Designers
On the 50th anniversary of UK Pride, we take a look back at the flag’s graphic design history, colourful development, and iterations across the decades. Microsoft previously created a version of the Pride flag that represented 19 different communities in 2021 and applied it to various products and packaging. The design featured eight different-coloured stripes – two more than are commonly used in the same flag today – creating a rainbow-like appearance that was meant to evoke a feeling of hope. Microsoft, which says the project was created by its LGBTQIA+ staff, released an earlier version of the flag during Pride month in June and has now updated the design and made it open source. Microsoft has created a kaleidoscopic new version of the Pride flag that represents 40 different LGBTQIA+ communities and can evolve to include even more.
Chris is the executive director of MOTHA, the Museum of Transgender Hirstory & Art, an institution highlighting the contributions of trans art to the cultural and political landscape. MOTHA asks audiences to think critically about the visual history of transgender life, and how to compile a comprehensive history of an identity category for which the language is still new and rapidly evolving. MOTHA uses exhibitions, poster graphics, performances, and a virtual artist residency program all to further their mission. It had eight colours and was designed by the artist and queer activist Gilbert Baker who was commissioned to design something that could represent the LGBTQ community by his friend Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California. As understanding of sexuality and gender has expanded, so have variations of Gilbert’s six-colour original.
The successful completion of the readjustment journey played a pivotal role in bolstering the participants’ confidence, and encouraged them to envisage future professional goals. The reintegration of these nurses into the labor force holds significant importance in addressing the nursing shortage in Japan in particular. Japan is currently facing the challenge of a super-aging population, with 29.0% of its total population being 65 years and older [12]. This demographic shift has imposed increasing demands on nursing professionals, as older people often experience multiple chronic illnesses that result in physical and cognitive decline [13], necessitating substantial medical support and assistance in daily activities. However, the declining birth rate in Japan has led to a decrease in the number of students enrolling in nursing schools since 2018 [15].
So, it’s imperative for all designers to include design elements that allow for representation of all people. As time has gone on, the community has created variations of the Pride flag to be more inclusive — including a more modern iteration, created by Daniel Quasar in 2018, called the Progress Pride Flag. KY designed this study under the supervision of MT. KY performed the data collection and the initial data analysis. All co-authors reviewed the manuscript and approved the final manuscript for publication.
