The California Pride flag (often referred to as the California LGBTQ+ Republic flag) is a contemporary vexillological adaptation that merges the traditional iconography of the California State flag with the global symbol of the LGBTQ+ community, the Gilbert Baker rainbow pride flag. The design retains the central layout of the original 1911 state flag, featuring a prominent California grizzly bear walking on a patch of green grass, anchored by the bold, sans-serif text "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC" across the lower third. However, the standard solid white field and bottom red stripe are replaced by six horizontal stripes displaying the vivid, sequential colors of the modern rainbow flag: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. A single five-pointed white star remains positioned in the upper hoist corner, mirroring the historical "Lone Star" of California's early revolutionary history.

Historically, this variant emerged as a grassroots symbol of regional pride, diversity, and political solidarity within California—a state central to the modern American LGBTQ+ rights movement. By replacing the traditional monochromatic background with the rainbow spectrum, the design subverts a well-known piece of Americana to emphasize inclusivity and the historic presence of queer culture in the Golden State. It is frequently displayed at civil rights demonstrations, local pride festivals in major cultural hubs like San Francisco and Los Angeles, and within digital vexillology communities celebrating identity-focused flag design.
