LGBTQ+ Pride Month

      This is the start of Pride month. I have friends, acquaintances, and family members in most if not all LGBTQ+ categories, and probably you do too although you may not know it. I wish they all could live lives of being who they want to be without being socially or legally hassled. I made this flag in computer language R.

      Here is the R code:

 # Draw empty plot
plot(NULL, col = "white", xlim = c(0, 12), ylim = c(0, 8), xlab="", xaxt="n", ylab="", yaxt="n", 
    main="LGBTQ+ Rainbow Flag" ) 

polygon(x = c(3.33, 12, 12, 2), y = c(6.67, 6.67, 8, 8), col = "#e40303")  # coordinates counter-
    clockwise; red                  
polygon(x = c(4.67, 12, 12, 3.33), y = c(5.33, 5.33, 6.67, 6.67), col = "#ff8c00") # orange
polygon(x = c(6, 12, 12, 4.67), y = c(4, 4, 5.33, 5.33), col = "#ffed00") # yellow
polygon(x = c(4.67, 12, 12, 6), y = c(2.67, 2.67, 4, 4), col = "#008026") # green
polygon(x = c(3.33, 12, 12, 4.67), y = c(1.33, 1.33, 2.67, 2.67), col = "#004dff") # blue
polygon(x = c(2, 12, 12, 3.33), y = c(0, 0, 1.33, 1.33), col = "#750787") # purple

polygon(x = c(1, 2, 6, 2, 1, 5), y = c(0, 0, 4, 8, 8,4), col = "#000000") # black
polygon(x = c(0, 1, 5, 1, 0, 4), y = c(0, 0, 4, 8, 8, 4), col = "#613915") # brown
polygon(x = c(0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 3), y = c(1.33, 0, 4, 8, 6.67, 4), col = "#74d7ee") # light blue
polygon(x = c(0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2), y = c(2.67, 1.33, 4, 6.67, 5.33, 4), col = "#ffafc8") # pink
polygon(x = c(0, 0, 2), y = c(5.33, 2.67, 4), col = "#ffffff") # white
