June is Pride Month and Veeta is here to celebrate with a superior collection of Durags and Wave Caps. Veeta’s Superior Pride Collection consists of 11 different colored durags and wave caps, all of which are found in the Pride flag. Each of the colors found in the Pride Flag come together to “…reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and the ‘spectrum’ of human sexuality and gender”. This blog post is written in support of the LGBTQ+ community and aims to educate as well as promote self expression. Veeta is the superior choice and offers several collections that all aim to raise the standards of excellence. With that being said, it’s time to dive into the 11 colors that make up the Pride Flag, and the Veeta Durag/Wave Cap that represents each color.
To The Rainbow, And Beyond!
The first Pride flag was created in the late 1970’s by Gilbert Baker, who at the time resided in San Francisco. The original flag was distinguished by six horizontal colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Today we honor the Progress Pride Flag, designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018. This updated version of the flag boasts thirteen different colors that include the six original shades, but adds black, brown, pink, light blue and white stripes to the mix. These additional stripe colors are an inclusionary way to bring attention to the black and brown members within the LGBTQ+ community as well as those who identify as transgender. The 11 colors of the Pride Flag are inclusive of not only sexuality spectrums, but also of race.
