Gilbert Baker will be the Grand Marshall at this year's 38th annual NYC Pride Parade. Whom may you ask is Gilbert Baker? Why only the Gay Community's Betsy Ross. 30 years ago Mr Baker brought about an eight striped flag to show solidarity and acceptance of the diversity in the LGBT Community. The flag was simplified to six stripes some years later.
As one who has worn it as a tshirt, bumper sticker, umbrella, lapel pin, bathing suit, cummerbund/ascot, and cape I can't even tell you how proud it makes me to see our banner waving and feel the sense that we're one big family in the community. Thanks Mr Baker, and Happy Pride!!!!!
