How did gay guys get to claim pink as their color?

I mean, think about it! Pink is every straight guy’s favorite color!

Did they? And is it? :confused:

ETA: Gay guys didn’t steal pink, they stole the whole rainbow.

Just in case your question is sincere: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_triangle

I’ve never seen any of my gay friends in pink. But, all you have to do to claim a color is write it down on a small piece of paper and put it in your fanny pack.

Well, there was the Nazi bit.
Before that:

sigh I sense a sad paucity of dirty minds in this thread . . .

Ohhhhhh…! :smiley:

It is the International Recognition Color for anus, which the homosexuals highly esteem.

In that case, I would have thought a slightly different color than pink or blue.

I wear pink all the time. Chicks dig it.

This is all very confusing. Wasn’t that Teletubbie accused of being gay for being purple?

Pink? Like rare roast beef?

Maybe they were born on a Tuesday? In Thailand, pink is the color of anyone born on that day of the week. (Each day has its own color.) That’s why the school color of Chulalongkorn University is pink, because King Chulalongkorn was born on a Tuesday.

I’m not gay, and I wear pink shirts. In fact I am wearing one now, a button-down oxford. I admit that it makes me feel pretty, but that’s another story. :wink:

Seriously, I really like pink shirts.

Why should I settle for a pale imitation of red when I can have the real thing?

…hate Pink…hate purple…I read somewhere that pink was once the ‘boy’ color as it was a variation of the masculine red color…who knows? I’m an orange fan myself…I own way too many orange shirts. I’m always mistaken for a Home Depot employee when I’m there ( which is daily, thanks to my kitchen Reno)

Because it’s the manliest colour, of course. Ask the Japanese, or the Elizabethans.

I once bought a pink sham in kitchen Reno, just to watch it dye.

No one else wanted it?

No no no! Tacos! Pink Tacos!

so many I’ve eaten… there.
