It is believed that purple came to represent gay pride after disco music became popular in the 1970s, with people wearing brightly-colored clothing in this color. Additionally, the rainbow (which is often associated with Pride) includes purple as one of its colors. Purple is also associated with creativity, so it was adopted by artists as a symbol of gay expression.
