Question

wut does the rainbow represent for lesbians is it a kind if indication that they are lesbian

Answer 1

I think the main point of the rainbow flag is that a rainbow is made of many different colors, but they all come from the same sunlight.
In the same way, there are many different kinds of people, but they all come from the same source, and they COULD all live together in beautiful harmony.
I think we all will live in harmony, one day ... when kindness and tolerance have overcome hatred and ignorance ... or when the last human being dies because of greed and violence.

Answer 2

"Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag for the 1978 San Francisco's Gay Freedom Celebration. The flag does not depict or show an actual rainbow. Rather, the colors of the rainbow are displayed as horizontal stripes, with red at the top and purple at the bottom. It represents the diversity of gays and lesbians around the world. The purple stripe is sometimes replaced with a black stripe to show mascunlinity or leather pride."

Answer 3

Gay pride


Current Rainbow Flag
Six-striped (1979–present)


Seven-striped (1978–1979)


Eight-striped (1978)

The rainbow flag, sometimes called 'the freedom flag', has been used as a symbol of gay and lesbian pride since the 1970s. The different colors symbolize diversity in the gay community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in gay rights marches. It originated in the United States, but is now used around the world.

The rainbow flag was first used to symbolize gay pride and diversity by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker; as of 2006, it currently consists of six colored stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. It is most commonly flown with the red stripe on top, as the colors appear in a natural rainbow.

The Rainbow Triangle is easily one of the more popular symbols for the gay community.

During WWII, gays were only one of the many groups targeted for extermination by the Nazi regime. It is unfortunately the group that history often excludes.

The history of the triangle begins before WWII, during Adolph Hitler's rise to power. Paragraph 175, a clause in German law prohibiting gay relations, was revised by Hitler in 1935 to include kissing, embracing, and gay fantasies as well as sexual acts. Convicted offenders -- an estimated 25,000 just from 1937 to 1939 -- were sent to prison and then later to concentration camps. Their sentence was to be sterilized, and this was most often accomplished by castration. In 1942 Hitler's punishment for homosexuality was extended to death.

Answer 5

rainbow flag represents diversity. Each color represents an ideal- health,sun,etc. sorrycan't remember all. Gay men and lesbians use the symbol to represent the gay community. Be careful. Don't assume that everybody who puts rainbow decals on his/her car is gay. OOPS. It can be embarrassing.

Answer 6

A rainbow is made of many colors, and for this reason it represents diversity of the human race. It is used by many groups to indicate diversity, and some GLBT persons use it to represent diversity in sexual orientation. But it is also used by others to depict racial or ethnic diversity, and by still others because they think it is pretty.

The social Hierarchy among prisoners.


(1.) The green triangle marked its wearer as a regular criminal
(2.) The red triangle denoted a political prisoner
(3.) Two yellow triangles overlapping to form a Star of David designated a Jewish prisoner
(4.) The pink triangle was for gay men
(5.) The black triangle was for lesbians, prostitutes; women who refused to bear children
(6.) A yellow Star of David under a superimposed pink triangle marked the lowest of all prisoners -- a gay Jew.

Although the total number of the gay prisoners is not known. Gay prisoners reportedly were not shipped en masse to the death camps at Auschwitz, a great number of gay men were among the non-Jews who were killed there. Estimates of the number of gay men killed during the Nazi regime range from 50,000 to twice that figure.
When the war was finally over, countless homosexuals remained prisoners in the camps, because Paragraph 175 remained law in West Germany until its repeal in 1969.

In the 1970's, gay liberation groups resurrected the pink triangle as a popular symbol for the gay rights movement in the 1980’s; ACT-UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) began using the pink triangle for their cause. They inverted the symbol, making it point up, to signify an active fight back rather than a passive resignation to fate. Black Triangle

Like the pink triangle, the black triangle is also rooted in Nazi Germany. Although lesbians were not included in the Paragraph 175 prohibition of homosexuality, there is evidence to indicate that the black triangle was used to designate prisoners with anti-social behavior. Considering that the Nazi idea of womanhood focused on children, kitchen, and church, black triangle prisoners may have included lesbians, prostitutes; women who refused to bear children, and women with other "anti-social" traits. As the pink triangle is historically a male symbol, lesbians and feminists have similarly reclaimed the black triangle as a symbol of pride and solidarity.
