A cruise ship marketed to homosexuals arrived at Provincetown Harbor on the northern tip of Cape Cod bearing sections of a rainbow flag that the late designer made for the 25th anniversary of the original flag.
Gilbert Baker (1951-2017) designed the first rainbow flag in San Francisco in 1978. It had eight colors, but two of them (hot pink and turquoise) proved difficult to mass-manufacture, so the most common version of the flag nowadays has only six colors.
U.S. Senator Ed Markey endorsed the ROE Act abortion expansion bill in Massachusetts on Thursday while accepting an endorsement from a pro-abortion group.
"We're at the forefront of this movement, the ROE Act, and making sure that we set the standard for the rest of the country to follow so that NARAL national has a state they can point to and say, 'It's happening in Massachusetts, as usual, and we should follow that leadership," Markey said, according to State House News Service.
