“The rainbow has been a symbol of hope from ancient times. It is referenced in the Bible when Noah sees a rainbow after the flood. It is the flag of many indigenous peoples, including the Inca Empire. It was used by Jessie Jackson’s coalition to champion diversity and eventual chosen by the artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 as the Pride flag. While LGBTQ+ liberation is a corner stone of our message, “The LOVE Mural” also builds upon a greater message of love and acceptance for all souls upon their journey. ” - Lisa Marie
