Thank you for highlighting Gilbert this #Pride month! If you haven't seen it, check out SEWING THE RAINBOW - my children's book about Gilbert Baker. I'm happy to send you a copy. @MaginationPress @CathyRenna
Gilbert Baker, the designer of the rainbow flag, created a symbol of pride for the LGBTQ movement. He refused to trademark it because he wanted it to belong to the entire LGBTQ community. #Pridepic.twitter.com/INaWYk0gE7

I had the honor of having a lovely spaghetti dinner prepared by Mr. Baker. My cousin was his roommate in the early 2000s & I stayed with her once on a NYC visit. His home was filled with
#Pride flags but I didn't know he was the designer until later.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Gilbert also worked on the first
#marijuana legalization initiative, California's Proposition 19 in 1972, and was taught to sew by his fellow#cannabis activist Mary Dunn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m90bwuF1z8 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Awesome. The flag is a perfect concept of those who it represents. Nice to see such selflessness.
