The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.
Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.
LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

GOOD music. Feel free to recommend some more good punk bands, I'm always looking for more music.
You cant really go wrong with youtube playlists. Anarcho punk, antifascist Oi, crust punk, powerviolence. Thing that blows is some explicitly leftist bands from the Bush era turned their backs on Palestine like Rise Against
What bands along those lines do you already know or like? Or what kinda not punk do you listen to? It's a surprisingly deep and varied genre and I'm an Encyclopedia for this stuff. I'd check out that entire album by world burns to death the last song, Apparatus is something else, the rest of their stuff is kinda eh tbh. Aus-Rotten and Nausea are most people's first crust bands after the internet happened. There's just like...so many bands that a bit of a jumping off point really helps
Oh man I have no idea where to start then lmao.
Aus-Rotten is pretty similar so that's probably a good start
Theeeenks
I'll make a list tomorrow. The mid 90s were full of this straight forwarder style of crust or heavier style of anarcho punk. Antiproduct and Mankind? are good similar ones. I'll post a full history lesson tomorrow
Hell yeah I look forward to it
