	Rainbow flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rainbow flag is a multi-colored flag consisting of stripes in the colors of the rainbow.
		The rainbow flag was first used to symbolize gay pride and diversity by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker; as of 2006, it currently consists of six colored stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
		There was some use of similar multi-colored flags in the USA in the early 1970s as a symbol of internationalism and unity of all people of Earth, but by the end of the 1970s the rainbow flag's connection with gay pride became generally known in the United States.

	Italy - Peace flags
		The alleged plagiarism initially claimed by the Gay Movement, due to the similarity of their own flag, is only apparent; the peace flag has seven stripes, whereas the other one has six, in reversed order (from the top: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple; cyan is missing), and it does not have a text.
		The colours of the rainbow are also used as sign of "unity in difference" for their physical characteristic of becoming white if they are wheeled quickly.
		The Peace flag was used widely in the 80's during the Peace marches and all Italian demonstrations, as well as in peace initiatives by Italian volunteers abroad (in Sarajevo, in Iraq, in Kosovo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo).
