The PRIDE flag represents love, friendship and acceptance. It is a symbol to show you are proud of who you are, a key part of what GFS is all about. Each of the colours on the flag represent a different quality, which is important to the PRIDE movement. This is a fun way to introduce girls and young women to the ideas behind PRIDE.
