On the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots the first Gay Pride march in history took place in New York covering 51 blocks to Central Park. This riot and further protests and the following nights were the watershed moment in the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement and the impetus for organizing pride marches on a much larger scale. The goal of creating this flag was increasing the subjectivity of the gay community as a separate part of the entire LGBT community and the awareness of gay people of their own specific problems - such as gayphobia and misandry (gender stereotypes against men) in general, masculine divergence, demonization of gay men with accusations of child molestation, sadism and other unacceptable perversions, double standards for attitudes towards bisexuality and bi-curiosity, problems with reproductive rights and opportunities (access to surrogacy services, creation of artificial womb and reproductive independence of men in general), a number of countries where only male homosexuality is prohibited, a rigid framework for gentle tactile male friendship and a gender "male box" in general. Last sixth and seventh stripes are blue, from light to dark. First top three stripes are coloured in azure gradation from dark to light: azure, sky blue, light sky blue. Blue and azure shades for the gay flag were chosen on the basis that these colors are used for the symbolic image of men and homosexual men in particular.
