![]() So what about the turquoise?įrom the Gay Pride New Orleans’ history, says it was about making the flag more street-ready after the assassination of Harvey Milk: Paramount Flag Company had a problem: The hot pink fabric, which represented sexuality, was not in available for mass production, so Baker dropped the hot pink stripe. Most of the original flag were hand- stitches by Baker. This company started in the 1930s and is no longer exists today. Choosing not to trademark the design - Baker wanted the flag to be kept a free symbol for all in the community to use - he took it to San Francisco’s Paramount Flag Company for help mass producing it. Following Milk’s assassination in 1978, demand for the gay pride flag as a symbol of hope and joy for a mourning community increased.
