The Original Pink Striped LGBT Pride Enamel Pin

Before the six-stripe rainbow became standard, Pride had hot pink, turquoise and two extra stripes of history.

Gilbert Baker's original 1978 rainbow flag used eight colours, including hot pink, before practical production changes eventually produced the familiar six-stripe version. That first flag was conceived as an affirmative liberation symbol, a bright piece of queer self-definition made for public visibility.

Its 25.4 x 15 mm face makes room for the hot-pink stripe to remain obvious, turning this into the collector's rainbow pin rather than a near-duplicate of the standard six-colour design.

Queer-history nerds will see the hot-pink stripe and know exactly why it is there. That tiny collector detail is what turns this from another rainbow pin into a specific chapter of Pride design history.
