The rainbow is a symbol of gay pride, as
opposed to gay liberation, which used the pink
triangle on various colored fields.

The plain 6 stripes does seem to be the flag of choice over the
world and probably so for a simple reason of recognition: the flag is
often use to mark gay friendly (and in some place, gay safe)
establishment so you want to be sure that your target clientele will
recognise you.

The rainbow flag has become the easily-recognized colors of pride
for the gay community. The multicultural symbolism of the rainbow is
nothing new and it plays a part in many myths and stories related to
gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Native American, African, and
other cultures.
