The Pride Family Flag is a variation of the pride flag (Rainbow Flag). It features the traditional 6 colored stripes but adds the elements of Heart & Home in the canton of the flag.
The flag was created by Steven Tesney and Grant Caplan of Houston, Texas. They were inspired to create the flag by the birth of their adopted daughter in 2005. The Pride Family Flag was featured in the Pride 2007 Issue of OutSmart Magazine, a local LGBT magazine in Houston, TX. The Pride Family Flag made its world debut in the 2007 Houston Gay Pride Parade which is held every year in the Montrose area of Houston.
The original Pride Flag symbolized the struggle of the LGBT community, the diversity of the LGBT community and the hope for the future. The Pride Family Flag symbolizes how far the LGBT community has come now that we are parents and families and more visible and accepted in society.
