<aside> 🌈 Queer History: The yellow stripe on the first iteration of the rainbow Pride Flag symbolised “sunlight.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT)

”Let The Sunshine In” covered by The 5th Dimension but originally from the H.A.I.R musical was one of the popular songs played at the Stonewall Inn during the weeks leading up to the 1969 uprising. H.A.I.R was a musical that had queer themes and same-sex kisses - you can read about the musical’s queer legacy here. In the final scenes of the movie adaptation, one of the men makes the ultimate sacrifice for the man that he loves and goes to the war in his place. That is the scene in which this song is sung.
