The elements following uranium on the periodic table are only produced artificially, and are known as the transuranium or transuranic elements. These elements may have existed on Earth early in its history, but like technetium, would have long ago decayed into more stable elements.
The Rainbow (or Gay Pride) Flag was created by artist and vexillographer Gilbert Baker, a friend of the late Harvey Milk, in 1978. The flag debuted at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade.he original flag had eight stripes from top to bottom: pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sunlight), green (nature), turquoise (magic), indigo/blue (serenity), and violet (spirit). Within a year, the flag had shed two of its stripesâpink and violet.
The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor, White symbolizes Purity and Innocence and Blue represents Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice. I often think of how our flag grew into what it is today. It is so much more than 3 colors or a decoration.
