The Mile High Pride Flag is handwoven and constructed using sequins, paracord, clothing, Colorado-grown hemp, and yarn. Its design builds on Gilbert Baker’s original 1978 flag and adds influences from Denver’s City Flag and the Philadelphia Pride Flag. It also points to Denver’s deep cultural traditions. Its form pays tribute to Denver’s original diva, Molly Brown’s famous opera cloak. Weaving these materials, colors, and design elements together in a familiar yet contemporary form serves as a metaphor for the broad range of people that have come together to make Denver the Queer City of the Plains.
