Lynn Segerblom, known in 1978 as "Faerie Argyle Rainbow," was one of the co-creators the two original gay pride flags which were produced for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration on June 25, 1978. Segerblom created the original dyeing process for the flags. The flags were hand dyed with salt and soda ash in large vats of warm water. The process required pulling the fabric for many hours followed rinsing and re-rinsing.

Segerblom was only 18 when she arrived in San Francisco, California and met gay activist Gilbert Baker and seamster James McNamara, would would eventually team up to create the first two rainbow flags along with approximately 40 volunteers.
