Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

I never imagined I would have to beg for help to keep my elderly parents alive, but today I have no other choice. My parents suffer from chronic illnesses, including diabetes and high blood pressure, and they desperately need their medications every day. We urgently need to raise $1,000 to buy the medicines that keep them stable and alive. Without these treatments, their health could deteriorate rapidly, and their lives may be at risk. 💔

The pain of watching the people who raised me suffer while I stand helpless is unbearable. Every time they ask about their medication, my heart breaks because I do not know how I will provide it. No child should have to watch their parents grow weaker simply because they cannot afford the medicine they need.😔

The war in Gaza has not ended. Every single day, we continue to live with fear, uncertainty, and the sound of explosions. Airstrikes and shelling still happen regularly, sometimes frighteningly close to where we are. Every day, more lives are lost, more families are devastated, and more people are forced to endure unimaginable suffering. We do not know what tomorrow will bring, and living under this constant threat while trying to care for sick elderly parents is overwhelming.💔😔

Please, I am begging you not to ignore our cry for help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to buying the medication my parents desperately need. Your kindness could help protect their health and give them a chance to continue fighting their illnesses. In a time when we feel surrounded by fear and uncertainty, your support can give us hope and remind us that we are not alone.🙏💔😔

may his memory be a blessing to every person he met.

“Murry was one of my first friends I made in college, and helped me feel so much comfortable about myself, especially where I had came up to northern Kentucky knowing zero people,” Serenity Newell wrote. “I saw them a day or two before they had went missing and they were so sweet. I had dressed extra nice that day and they went and complimented me in detail for about 5 minutes straight […] I was going through our messages between each other today and was in disbelief that any of this was real. They were a big inspiration in my art and I strived to be more like them and try to poor more of my soul into each of my creations as they did.”
