In 1978, artist Gilbert Baker, tie-dye specialist Lynn Segerblom, and seamster James McNamara created a colorful flag to fly during the Gay Freedom Day Parade.
Since then, the rainbow flag has grown to global significance, symbolizing inclusivity across the world.
Now, after four decades stored away, a piece of the original fabric is back on display in San Francisco.
