Within a year, the flag had shed two of its stripes—pink and violet. According to Gilbert Baker, they "ran out of pink dye." The violet stripe was later taken out to create an even number of stripes on the flag.

Thank you for posting this information. I have just booked my first visit to your lovely looking island and was going to ask the question for me and my partner.

I have to say it's a change from the attitude I got from another Canarian Island, where I was basically told to stay away from there!!!

I'm not saying which one, but it obviously wasn't GC, it wasn't Lanzarote.....!!!

Cheers

The film ,the song and Dorothy is know all over the world and Dorothy is a gay Icon. So the Rainbow flag was born!
Outside most gay bars and night clubs will show a rainbow flag to show it is a gay or gay friendly bar/club.

Also if someone says to you " are you a friend of Dorothy" that means are you
Gay.

Now you know!

Hi Paul, I know this may sound trivial but why aren't Lesbians designated Gay?

Is it because Gay is too short a word
