The rainbow flag has become the easily-recognized colors of pride for the gay community. The plain 6 stripes does seem to be the flag of choice over the world and probably so for a simple reason of recognition: the flag is often use to mark 'gay-friendly' (and in some places, 'gay-safe') establishments, so you want to be sure that your target clientele will recognise you. The rainbow is a symbol of gay pride, as opposed to gay liberation, which used the pink triangle on various colored fields.
