For Pride in 2019 I decided to create pieces inspired by the original colors and meaning of the pride flag. There are very important recent additions to the lines of color, but with a focus on the original rainbow I want to remind all LGBTQ+ people that we stand together. I totally empathize with the need to banner under our own more specific group flags, but I truly believe we should embrace each other, celebrate together, riot together, cry together, and live together in unity. To quote Charles Beal when discussing Gilbert Baker’s flag, “...he wanted it to be owned by everyone.”
