The six-stripe rainbow is the flag almost everyone recognises, and this little rainbow pride flag puts it on a 4" × 6" polyester banner with a black stick. Flags Importer makes it as a giveaway-and-desk flag: light enough to buy by the dozen, sturdy enough to keep on a shelf all year.

Where the rainbow pride flag comes from

Artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag for San Francisco's gay community, and the six-colour version became the standard symbol of LGBTQ+ pride worldwide. Baker gave each stripe a meaning, running from life in the red through to spirit in the violet, though most people now read it simply as the whole community together.

Ideas for a 4 x 6 inch flag

This is the size for scattering around rather than flying. Push a few into cupcakes or a cheese board at a Pride party, add one to every place setting, stick one in a potted plant at the office or keep a bundle in your bag for friends at a march. Because the stripes are bold and few, the rainbow reads clearly even at this small scale.

Build and care

All edges of the polyester are stitched, and the flag is sewn onto its stick through a sleeve with no staples. The gold plastic spear finial is pointed, so these are better kept away from very young children. If one gets wet outdoors, let it air-dry before storing.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Rainbow Stick Flag 4" X 6".

What do the six colours of the rainbow flag stand for?

Gilbert Baker gave the stripes meanings that run from life (red) and sunlight (yellow) to nature (green), harmony (blue) and spirit (violet). Today most people see the six stripes together as a symbol for the entire LGBTQ+ community.

Are these small rainbow flags good as party favours?

Yes, that's one of their main uses. They fit in a cup, a cake or a goodie bag, and since each is on its own stick there's nothing to assemble. Order a few extra; guests tend to take them home.

How long is the stick?

The supplier gives the stick's thickness, 3/16 inch, but this listing doesn't state its length. Flags Importer's other 4" × 6" stick flags use a 10.5-inch stick, so expect something similar, roughly a hand-span and a half.

Will the rainbow print fade in a sunny window?

Any printed polyester fades with long sun exposure, and a small flag in a south-facing window will lighten over months. Moving it out of direct sun or swapping it each season keeps the colours strong.

Is there a rainbow flag with extra stripes for people of colour or trans people?

Yes. The Progress Pride 4" × 6" stick flag adds a chevron of black, brown, light blue, pink and white to the rainbow.
