- [Cleve] In many, many different cultures,

the rainbow appears as a symbol of hope, beauty, love.

- [Narrator] Our story begins in San Francisco

- [Cleve] Young gay men, lesbian women were arriving

from all over the country and all around the world,

many of them fleeing places where they were

experiencing incredible violence and repression.

- [Narrator] One of those men was Gilbert Baker.

I think the operative word would be flamboyant.

- [Cleve] When We Rise, My Life in the Movement.

- [Narrator] Cleve and Gilbert met as two young activists

planning the 1977 San Francisco Gay Pride event.

- [Cleve] Back then it was called Gay Freedom Day.

We were all part of a circle of activists

who were talking about the need for a new symbol

- [Narrator] And one day, Gilbert told Cleve

- [Cleve] He showed me the drawings he'd done,

- [Narrator] And each color had special significance.

- [Cleve] Honestly I think he kind of made that up

It came to him as he said "from the sky."

- [Narrator] With a team of volunteers including Cleve,

Gilbert sewed and dyed the flags in preparation

and the wind took them and lifted them up

against the blue sky, it was really breathtaking.

Gilbert and I stood there and watched and we knew

was looking up at those rainbows and knowing

at that exact moment, this now would be our symbol.

To take this beautiful symbol from nature

and say this is the symbol of these people

who were required to live in the shadows,

he really devoted his life not only to making flags
