One Facebook user posted a version of the flag ( here) along with the caption: “They officially added Ukraine to the pride flag,” followed by emojis that mean ‘Clown world’ – a phrase adopted by the alt-right that opposes progressive values ( here). However, some on social media appear to have been duped into believing it is real. Baker decided to make that symbol a flag because he saw. Baker later revealed that he was urged by Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S., to create a symbol of pride for the gay community. An image showing blue and yellow stripes added to the Pride flag was posted satirically by a Twitter user. It goes back to 1978, when the artist Gilbert Baker, an openly gay man and a drag queen, designed the first rainbow flag. The colors of the Ukrainian flag have not been added to the official pride flag.
