The number of stripes has been reduced to six since then. Each of the original eight colors was given a meaning that Baker believed to be found in all people around the world, to make the flag relatable on a personal level. The design was also intended to be striking and send a message. Judy Garland was a gay icon, with 'friend of Dorothy' even being slang for a gay man. It's believed that Gilbert Baker drew inspiration from the 'Flag of the Human Race' and the song 'Over the Rainbow'. I was hoping this would also come with a brief description of each flag's meaning.
