That flag was cut into pieces to be used in LGBT-friendly towns like New Hope. The Humphrys design takes the place of the Key West Rainbow 25 Sea to Sea Flag - a once 1.25-mile-long rainbow flag created in 2003 by Gilbert Baker to commemorate his original 1978 design. Rather fittingly, that operation is situated just across from the Betsy Ross House at Second and Arch streets in Old City. The flag, to be hoisted atop Starbucks on Bridge Street for the duration of Pride, is a 15-by-20-feet rainbow design that features the original design's eight colors and was made by Old City-based Humphrys Flag Company.
