In 1978, Harvey Milk asked Gilbert Baker to create a unifying symbol for the growing gay rights movement, and on June 25 of that year, Baker's Rainbow Flag debuted at San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade. Baker had no idea his creation would become an international emblem of liberation and inclusiveness, forever cementing his pivotal role in helping to define the modern LGBTQ movement.

Rainbow Warrior is Baker's passionate personal chronicle, from a childhood in 1950s Kansas, to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist.

His fascinating story weaves through the early years of the struggle for LGBTQ rights, when he worked closely with Milk, Cleve Jones, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Gilbert Baker often called himself the "Gay Betsy Ross," and readers of his colorful, irreverent, and deeply personal memoir will find it difficult to disagree.

Reviews For The Book

"A moving, educative memoir from one of the innovators of the gay liberation movement." --Kirkus Reviews

"Gilbert Baker paved the way for LGBTQ activists around the world--myself included. As the openly gay and HIV-positive Speaker of the New York City Council, I owe my career and life to people like Gilbert Baker. I am grateful the world will finally get to read his story."--Corey Johnson, Speaker of the New York City Council

"Gilbert Baker's grand visions as an artist and activist entertained all who knew him and truly advanced the global LGBTQ movement. In creating the Rainbow Flag, he gave the world an iconic symbol. This powerful memoir is his final gift. He was my friend and ally in the struggle for equality and I loved him very much." --Cleve Jones, activist and creator of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt

"With infectious charisma and unadulterated exhilaration, Gilbert Baker intertwines the history of the Rainbow Flag and of the LGBTQ movement with the narration of his own sinuous life. If a sense of urgency and necessity, serendipity, intuition, and talent are the ingredients of great design, this is the autobiography of an accidental design superstar." --Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Architecture & Design, the Museum of Modern Art

Beautiful leather bag
Color: Brown
The quality of this did not disappoint and seems top notch. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. I would have thought it cost hundreds of dollars if it had a certain big brand logo on it. The brown is beautiful.

Excellent Leather Quality - Beautiful Handbag
Beautiful handbag. I usually only buy designer handbags of good quality. I am fond of a particular Tory Burch handbag that is no longer made. When I saw this handbag, which is similar in looks to the bag I can no longer find by Tory Burch, I decided to take a chance because it was on sale at an amazingly reasonable price. I am so glad I did. The bag is gorgeous, stitching impeccable, and leather excellent quality. Love all the interior pockets. Lining in side is beautiful. Also, not heavy even with all my stuff in it--do not hesitate to buy this bag. It is a very good find on Amazon.
