Summary
The rainbow flag is one of the most well-known symbols in the world. It is celebrated as a representation of LGBTQ pride and liberation. It is widely thought to be the work of Gilbert Baker. However, history is often messier than the story we inherit. In this episode, we are joined by Faerie Argyle Rainbow. What she contributed to the flag's creation has largely been forgotten or misattributed, but we have her back! She takes us through how the idea came to be, how she was involved in making the first flags, and her experience of seeing her work attributed to someone else. This is a discussion about authorship, memory, and the politics of recognition within our community. To honor the queer community, we must examine who is recorded in history and who is not.
