"You could just feel this whole neighborhood just kind of explode with exhilaration and joy and hope. It was such an amazing moment," Sheehy said, reflecting on the significance of the flag-raising since 1997.
"Pink is for sex and red for life, and orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for serenity and purple for the spirit," Baker said, emphasizing the deep meanings behind the colors of the rainbow flag.
Charley Beal, president of the Gilbert Baker Foundation, noted the flag's importance, stating that its significance reaches far beyond San Francisco, resonating with the global LGBTQ community.
