#When did gay pride month originate full#
This new symbol raised the attention of communities of colour globally, and has helped with important conversations about intersectionality, address forms of exclusion and barriers to full participation within the community. It originated in Philadelphia in 2017 and the purpose was to address issues of racism and exclusion in Philadelphia’s gay neighbourhood. How did the ‘More Colour More Pride’ flag originate? The ‘More Colour More Pride’ flag, includes the addition of a brown and black stripe, highlighting the inclusion of queer, trans, Black, Indigenous and people of colour (QTBIPOC). To celebrate Pride month, we once again raise the More Colours More Pride Flag on the U of T Scarborough campus, with this year’s Pride theme at U of T Scarborough being “Love Is Here”, signifying that love is about embracing diversity, different sexualities and ethnicities and acknowledge that our collective stories are about gratitude and acceptance and celebration of all our differences, and that love remains here for us always.
