With the exception of the Philadelphia City Hall flag, every flag since has been unveiled online. In 2009, Natalie Phox’s Intersex flag is posted to Wikimedia commons. The next three weren’t until the bi flag (1998), lesbian Labrys (1999), and trans flag (1999). It started a tradition of striped queer Pride flags. Problems sourcing materials eventually condensed it back down to the classic 6-stripe rainbow in 1979. Baker made an 8-color variation on the rainbow flag, a prominent symbol of peace. In 1977, Harvey Milk challenged Gilbert Baker, an openly gay activist, to create a symbol for the gay community.
