Original Note:
"Gilbert Baker, an openly gay man & a drag queen, designed the first rainbow flag. Baker later revealed that he was urged by Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S, to create a symbol of pride for the gay community." The Flag is not transphobic. https://www.britannica.com/story/how-did-the-rainbow-flag-become-a-symbol-of-lgbt-pride
