17. Although X has been used and suggested in various forms by grups and figures as diverse as Buddhists and Thomas Paine, X’s most iconic usage commenced in 1978 after X was popularised by Gilbert Baker, an artist from San Francisco.

In 1989, X received nationwide attention in the USA after a certain John Stout sued his landlord and won the right to display X on his apartment balcony. Identify X, Y and Z.
