In Memory of the Founder of Rainbow Flag

Who is Gilbert Baker? I would like to share about my young boyhood to manhood story during the Rainbow Flag created from Gilbert Baker of San Francisco, California. He was age of 27 and begun to sew his first flag become Rainbow in 1978 while I was age of 12 and attend to my Allen Elementary School, USD №259 in Wichita, Kansas.

Most people did not know about the symbol of Rainbow Flag in America before Gilbert and his couple of Gay Activists and Community begun to raise the original Rainbow Flag in San Francisco on June 25, 1978. Later, the news media begun to spread over America slowly or little quickly.

See some photos of Gilbert Baker:

In 1990, I was age of 24 and college student from Rochester, New York before took Christmas Break Time while visited in Key West, Florida first time. I fell in love with KW. Again, I visited and stayed in there for Spring Break Time in 1991. Sadly, I departed after stayed in KW for few months until end of October 1994 before I was age of 28. I really missed KW!!!

Rainbow Flag Founder, Gilbert Baker and President of United States of America, Barrack Obama officially met in the White House in Washington, D.C. in 2016.

March 31, 2017 after a final year of 2016 was over, Gilbert was sleep in his bed to be peace in rest in his New York City home after his soul finally flew away before went to heaven. I imagine all Angels hold the Rainbow flags and honor Gilbert to welcome and walk on the path to beautiful colorful view of heaven.

Last Year of 2016, Pulse Disco Club and Bar was in tragedy of overnight time after Middle-Eastern man took all 49 souls away before bunch of SWAT shoot him outside of rear building around 8 a.m. late in Orlando, Florida where I used to commute from Downtown Tampa (my former home: 2010–2014 as 3 Years of Tampa) and visit in Downtown Area including Amtrak Historical Station and Grand Bus Station. I did not visit and see around the Pulse on first time.
