By the 1970s, Gay Pride marches were organized in dozens of cities, turning protest into celebration.</p> <p>Over the decades, the movement broadened to include bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and nonbinary identitiescollectively known as LGBTQIA+. The rainbow flag, designed by GilbertBaker in 1978, became the universal symbol of this diversity.</p> </section> <section id="2021-highlights"> <h2>2021 Highlights</h2> <h3>Virtual and Hybrid Events</h3> <p>Because many inperson gatherings were limited, organizers turned to livestream platforms.
