Plain pink flag is a relatively new symbol of [LGBT] sexual orientation. Its introduction may have been inspired, on one hand, by the use of pink triangle, as a stand-alone emblem and as the flag charge, and on the other hand, by the re-introduction of the original eight-striped rainbow flag, which includes a pink stripe. The flag was used in Columbus, Ohio at the Columbus Pride 2009, with the photos available here,
here, here,
here and here, and again at the Columbus Pride 2012, as shown and here. The flag was used again at the San Diego Pride 2014, as shown here and
here. Outside the USA, the flag was seen at the Stockholm Pride Parade 2014, with the photos available here and
here. As the above sources reveal, the flag ratio and color shade may vary.

This flag was seen at London Pride Parade on 2010-07-03. Until its use in Israel is verified, it shall be considered Jewish, and not Israeli, gay pride flag, although it is derived from the flag of Israel. On this flag, blue stripes and Shield of David are repainted into into pink. Its photos can be seen here and
here.
