When was the first Gay Pride flag used?

The original LGBTQ gay pride flag was seen in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978.

Around 30 volunteers helped to hand-dye and stitch the first two flags for the parade.

Demand increased after Harvey was assassinated on November 27, 1978 and the Paramount Flag Company started selling the seven striped version – red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue and violet.
