    I needed a flag that was the same size or smaller than my US flag and of good quality. This was a perfect choice. Skillfully made, good price, correct size. I would buy again and recommend for you.

    'Progress' is a reinterpretation of multiple iterations of the pride flag. The original 'rainbow flag' was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978 to celebrate members of the gay and lesbian political movement.
