It is conceivable this has something to do with Judy Garland- her death which neatly coincided with the Stonewall Riots, and possibly the multi-cultural aspects of the word Rainbow- interaction of races, for example.

The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual) community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in LGBT rights marches.

I think its cause gay also means happy, and rainbows are a symbol of happiness. But I'm not sure.

I believe that the variety of colors relates to the variety of sexual orientations. Metaphorically speaking, there are many colors in the rainbow which all form a harmonious whole, and that is the ideal of human society as well, for the variety of people, with their various sexual orientations, to get along with each other and to form a harmonious whole. People should not be in conflict just because they are different in some way. Or to put it another way, contrasting colors make the rainbow more lovely, and contrasting people make society more interesting.

One theory about the rainbow flag is that the creator of it, Gilbert Baker, was inspired when he heard the song "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland. Each one of the eight colors in the flag has a meaning. They are as follows:

Hot pink - Sexuality

Red - Life

Orange - Healing

Yellow - Sunlight

Green - Nature

Turquoise - Magic/Arts

Indigo - Harmony/Serenity

Violet - Spirit
