 The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag, is a
symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social
movements. Other older uses of rainbow flags include a symbol of peace. The
colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, as the flag is often used as a
symbol of gay pride during LGBT rights marches. While this use of the rainbow
flag originated in Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area, the flag is now
used worldwide.
 Originally devised by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker, the design has
undergone several revisions since its debut in 1978, first to remove colors then
restore them based on availability of fabrics. The most common variant consists
of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically
flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

 The flag was originally created with eight Colors, but pink and turquoise were removed for
production purposes, and since 1979 it has consisted of six colored stripes. It is most

from the obvious symbolism of a mixed LGBT community, the colours were determined to
symbolize:
 Red- life
 Orange- healing
 Yellow- sunlight
 Green- nature
 Blue- harmony/peace
 Purple/violet- spirit
The removed colours stood for sexuality (pink) and art/magic (turquoise).

victims.

377 of the Indian Penal Code, which entered into force in 1861.
 377. Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against
the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with
imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term
which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

15. Argue qnd petition
 Gay rights activists argue that section 377 violates articles 14,15,19 and 20 of
the Indian constitution, which guarantee equality, freedom of expression
and personal liberty to all its citizens..
 The Supreme Court today has said homosexuality is not a crime in India.
The top court pronounced its verdict on petitions challenging the colonial-
era Section 377 that criminalises consensual gay sex. In 2013, the Supreme
Court had cancelled a Delhi high court order that had decriminalized
homosexuality, by overturning the outdated law, saying it was up to
parliament to take a call on scrapping laws. Five celebrities, in 2016,
petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider its own ruling. Chief Justice
Dipak Misra, who headed the five judge bench hearing the case
said,"Respect for each others rights is supreme humanity. Criminalising gay
sex is irrational and indefensible."

28. The Do's
 Be appreciative: this is a huge deal for them, thanks them for opening up to
you. Support them as they are fretting you will reject them.
 Be civil, whether you support it or not: even if you do not support the idea,
be understanding and positive, do not belittle their honesty.
 Ask questions: asking questions shows you are interested, questions like
“who else know” and “are you seeing someone?” so your support them
 Offer your ears: the person will surely have thinks they had like to talk about,
and will be looking for someone to support them
 Get information: there are many resources for you if you have questions or
are having issues accepting the information they shared with you

29. The Don’ts
 Gossip: don’t go around and tell other people unless given permission, It isn’t your job to
inform others that your friend is out of the closet.
 Ignore bullies: you are now a lifeline for your friend, it is your duty to help this person with
their new realisation, do not let people Bully the LGBT community as it will make the
person uncomfortable with their decision.
 Be ‘fake’: don’t pretend that you are support their decision to come out and then turn
around and mock them behind their backs. They need honesty.
 Use old pronoun: if they come out as transgender referring to someone who has come
out as a man by using ‘she’ is offensive. This may take a lot of getting used to but they will
notice you trying .
