About

The rainbow flag is easily the most recognisable of all the Queer Pride flags in existence. It was originally designed in by Gilbert Baker in 1978, with eight stripes. As the rainbow flag became more and more popular, a shortage of the necessary hot pink fabric resulted in a seven-striped version with the hot pink removed.

In 2017, a variant with two added stripes (black and brown) became popular, which then involved into the “Progress Flag“. Gilbert Baker himself updated the Rainbow Flag in 2017, by adding a lavender coloured stripe to the original, eight-stripe design.

Library.LGBT is an online resource surrounding Queer/LGBTQIA+ information, topics, health, history, and culture, and is an initiative of Albany Pride. Library.LGBT hopes to offer information that is valuable to both Queer and non-Queer people alike, to better understand our community, the identities within them, and our long and varied history. We want to provide information that is reliable and relevant, and above all, free to access and use.

Library.LGBT acknowledges the Minang People of the Noongar Nation, the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work, and we pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging across this great nation, and on the lands we call Australia.
LIBRARY.LGBT is proudly and unapologetically inclusive of the entire spectrum of the Queer community, and pays tribute and honours the LGBTQIA+ generations that came before us, and fought for our rights to exist.
Library.LGBT is brought to you by Albany Pride - an LGBTQIA+/Queer support, networking, and advocacy organisation based in Albany/Kinjarling, Western Australia. To find out more about the work we do, please visit our website. If you find Library.LGBT useful, please consider joining Albany Pride as a member.
