Where did the idea for the rainbow flag come from?

No. Although many countries have designated June the month to celebrate sexual diversity and LGBTQ+ rights, there are many others who celebrate with parades and festivals at different times of the year. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Australia for example is usually starts in February every year.

Has the rainbow flag always been used to highlight gay rights?

Actually, amongst others, the pink triangle has also been a symbol for various LGBTQ+ communities throughout the world.
