The original Flag had 8 colors, each containing their own meaning, hand-dyed, and stitched by thirty volunteers for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration on June 25, 1978. A new version was then created with six colors instead of eight, to simplify the making of the flag as well as lower the cost.
