PRIDE
LGBT Pride Flag
The LGBT pride flag was created in 1978 by
San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker. Originally
the flag included eight stripes but colours
have been removed due to fabric availability
creating the current most recognised form.
Each six colours has a meaning; red means
life, orange means healing, yellow means
sunshine, green means nature, blue means
harmony and purple means spirit.
Bisexual Pride Flag
The Bisexual Pride flag was designed by Michael
Page in 1998 so the bisexual community had a flag
of their own which was comparable with the Gay
Pride Rainbow flag. "The pink colour represents
sexual attraction to the same sex only (gay and
lesbian), blue represents sexual attraction to the
opposite sex only (straight) and the resultant
overlap colour purple represents sexual attraction to
both sexes".
Transgender Pride Flag
What transgender means:
A person whose gender is
different from the one they
were assigned at birth.
Who created the
transgender pride flag?
The transgender pride flag
was created by Monica
Helms, a transgender
woman, in 1999.
What the transgender flag represents:
• The white stands for nonbinary identities and/or an absence of gender
• The pink—a traditional colour used for baby girls—represents femininity
• The blue—a traditional colour used for baby boys—represents masculinity
Asexual Pride Flag
The Asexual pride flag was
created in August 2010 to
help raise awareness of
asexuality. Like the other
pride flags each coloured
stripe has a different
meaning; black means
asexuality, grey mean grey-asexuality (a grey area between
asexuality and sexuality) and demi sexuality, white means
sexuality and purple means community.
Pansexual Pride Flag
The pansexual pride flag is used to increase visibility
and recognition for
the pansexual community, and to
distinguish it from bisexuality. It is
used to indicate that pansexuals
have romantic attractions and relationships with people
of different genders and sexualities.
Lambda
The Greek letter lambda was originally used as
the symbol of the gay activist’s alliance of New
York in 1970 and in 1974 was officially
adopted as the symbol of gay and lesbian
rights by the International Gay Rights
Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland. The lambda
signifies unity under oppression.
Gay Male Symbol
Popularised in the 1990’s. Comprised of
two interlocking male gender symbols.
Double Female Symbol
Popularised in the 1990’s. Comprised of two
interlocking female gender symbols.
Transgender Symbol
This is the most popular transgender symbol it
originates from a drawing by Holly Boswell. A
modification of the traditional vender
symbols, it depicts a circle with an arrow
projecting from the top right, as found in the
male symbol, and a cross projecting from the
bottom, as found in the female symbol, with and additional
striked arrow (combining the female cross and male arrow)
projecting from the top-left.
What Does LGBTQ mean?
LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer
or questioning. These terms are used to describe a person’s sexual
orientation or gender identity
LESBIAN A woman whose enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional
attraction is to other women. Some lesbians may prefer to identify as gay or as gay
women.
GAY The adjective used to describe people whose enduring physical, romantic,
and/or emotional attractions are to people of the same sex. Sometimes lesbian is the
preferred term for women.
BISEXUAL A person who has the capacity to form enduring physical,
romantic, and/or emotional attractions to those of the same gender or to those of
another gender. People may experience this attraction in differing ways and degrees
over their lifetime. Bisexual people need not have had specific sexual experiences to
be bisexual; in fact, they need not have had any sexual experience at all to identify
as bisexual.
TRANSGENDER An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or
gender expression differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were
assigned at birth. People under the transgender umbrella may describe themselves
using one or more of a wide variety of terms— including transgender. Many
transgender people are prescribed hormones by their doctors to bring their bodies
into alignment with their gender identity. Some undergo surgery as well. But not all
transgender people can or will take those steps, and a transgender identity is not
dependent upon physical appearance or medical procedures.
QUEER An adjective used by some people, particularly younger people, whose
sexual orientation is not exclusively heterosexual. Typically, for those who identify as
queer, the terms lesbian, gay, and bisexual are perceived to be too limiting and/or
fraught with cultural connotations they feel don’t apply to them. Some people may
use queer, or more commonly genderqueer, to describe their gender identity and/or
gender expression. Once considered a pejorative term, queer has been reclaimed by
some LGBT people to describe themselves; however, it is not a universally accepted
term even within the LGBT community.
QUESTIONING Sometimes, when the Q is seen at the end of LGBT, it can
also mean questioning. This term describes someone who is questioning their sexual
orientation or gender identity.Rainbow cake

Ingredients
You'll need 3 x these ingredients for six sponges
• 125g butter
, softened, plus a little extra for greasing
• 225g plain flour
• 150g golden caster sugar
• 3 medium eggs (very important to use the correct size)
• 1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• edible food colouring - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and
purple, plus optional pink (see below)
For the icing
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 x 250g tubs cream cheese or mascarpone
• 350g icing sugarMethod 1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip all the sponge ingredients, apart from the food colouring, into a mixing bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth. 2. Working quickly, weigh the mixture into another bowl to work out the total weight, then weigh exactly half the mixture back into the mixing bowl. Pick 2 of your colours and stir a little into each mix. Keep going until you are happy with the colour – the colour of the batter now will be very similar to the finished cake, so be brave! Scrape the different batters into the tins, trying to spread and smooth as much as possible – but try not to waste a drop of the batter – a rubber spatula will help you. Bake on the same oven shelf for 12 mins until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean. 3. Gently turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. Wash the tins and bowls thoroughly, and start again from step 1 – this time using another 2 colours. Unless you’re making the optional pink layer, repeat one more time to get 6 sponges, all of different colours. Leave them all to cool. 4. To make the icing, very briefly beat the vanilla and cream cheese or mascarpone with an electric whisk until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar and gently fold in with a spatula. Be careful – the more you work it, the runnier it will get, increasing the chance of splitting. 5. Smear a little icing on your cake stand or plate – just a splodge to stick the first sponge. Start with the red, then spread with some icing right to the very edge. Repeat, sandwiching on top the orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple sponges. Spread the remaining icing thickly all over the sides and top of the cake. For more tips and expert advice on how to create the perfect rainbow cake, check out our tips, below.
