Secret Rainbow organization?

Are the little rainbow stickers, i see on people’s cars, a secret gay society thing. Please excuse my insensitivity, I’ve always wondered. And is there any truth to the rumor that Jamie Lee Curtis is a hermaphrodite? More than a few people I know, believe this to be true.

Yes, those rainbow stickers are the symbol of a secret gay society who are out to get you. And yes Jaimee Lee Curtis is a hermaphrodite, and president of the Secret Rainbow Society. And yes there are exactly three words in the English language that end in “gry”. Two are “angry” and “hungry”, the other one you can only find out by joining the Secret Rainbow Society. And that is why we park on driveways and drive on park ways.

Any more questions?

:rolleyes:

:eek: I KNEW IT!!! :eek:

If it were truly a secret organization, how come you know anything about it?

Wait, I figured it out! You’ve gotten too close! They are coming to get you!

Brother frock, I refer you to this thread, with apologies to Fenris.

Though only the decoder ring is mentioned therein, the rainbow sticker is an understood part of the deal.

The best thing about the Secret Rainbow Organization is the initiation. (Beats the hell out of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, you betcha!)

To borrow a phrase from the Lesbian Avengers: We Recruit!

(Confidential to Members: “The Owl Hoots at Midnight!”)

“The Cow Moos at Noon.” I repeat, “The Cow Moos at Noon.”

No, it is not a Secret Organization. If a new secret organization had been founded, I would’ve been told.

Trion: You aren’t a member of the thirteenth circle, so would wouldn’t have been told about this. Fnord.

And that’s just what we want you to think.

Jester, I think that they have infiltrated your system. They have even begun censoring your posts!

Clearly you haven’t read the book Rainbow Six. Rainbow is an ultra-secret international anti-terrorist unit.

“Go harmonize.” :slight_smile:

Gravity, there is no other explanation. They Gay Mafia is out to get me. But, as my last act, I shall retry that damn link. The answer lies in this thread.

And mrblue, it’s funny, the first thing I thought when I read the title was “Ooh! Rainbow Six!” Of course, to make matters even MORE creepy, I had been playing the R6 computer game for a few hours just before I checked the boards.

But now, if you’ll excuse me, there are some men in Rainbow striped suits at my door, saying that they want to talk to me…

And I thought this was going to be about that Masonic-related organization for teen girls: “Rainbow Girls” (sort of a distaff DeMolay) … They have a rainbow symbol, with the letters BFCL under the arc …
BFCL - - - Boy Friends Come Last ???
maybe I am still on point?

The Tandy Color Computer’s main magazine was called “The Rainbow,” playing on the CoCo’s color abilities compared with other TRS-80 systems. They sponsored conventions called “Rainbowfests” and, though the magazine went under a few years back, CoCo devotees still signal their devotion by putting rainbow stickers on everything they own.

In other words, either those stickers DON’T mean the driver is gay, or else there are an awful lot of gays who like obsolete computers.

PlanMan, as a former Job’s Daughter, that was my first thought, too. That’s the only reason I opened the thread. I can’t, however, shed light on the acronym. My only knowledge of their group was the mild resentment I had for them because they got to wear pretty dresses instead of “grecian” robes.

Oh, my God! They caught Benny? Damnit! I told him to stop taking so many chances!

Sorry, dropzone, but I have to disagree with you on both counts, although I will admit that I am composing this very post on an ancient Apple Macintosh Power PC which sports a tiny little Apple Rainbow logo on both its monitor and the face of its, ummm, computer box thingie. (Sorry. My brain froze up for a moment there.)

Without disputing your facts regarding the Tandy Color Computer and its avid followers, I must state that the vast majority of automotive-borne rainbow stickers do, indeed, signify gay pride. Either that, or the Tandy Corporation is expending an awful lot of effort promoting their defunct product under the souvenir tents at gay pride parades and in gift shops in San Francisco, Greenwich Village and on Cherry Grove, Fire Island.

The Rainbow, a distressingly generic symbol in my estimation, has vastly overshadowed several older, less widely-known gay pride symbols, including the Lambda (a Greek letter) and the Labrys (a two-headed battle axe used exclusively to denote lesbian or “dyke” pride.) It’s colors signify either the spectrum of human sexuality or the myriad qualities of gay people, depending upon whom you ask. Believe it or not, the 1994 Stonewall 25 gay pride parade in New York City, featured a mile long, thirty foot wide rainbow flag. Pretty cool, huh? See this link.

As far as the secret organization goes, as you may have gathered, we are not supposed to talk about it, although I might be tempted to spill my guts if someone would just explain about the “Secret American Society” symbolized by those little red, white and blue flags stickers I used to see on old Fords.

Pedantically yours, Tenar.

  1. Which would explain why my subscriber to sticker ratio was so low when I edited a CoCo newsletter.

  2. So THAT’s where they were promoting it! They sure weren’t promoting it around here!

  3. It’s much like the secret society of mindf***ers who put “Save American Jobs–Buy American Cars” on Chevies first purchased when Nissan was still Datsun.

Worked with a woman who gave a client a ride on her motorcycle and let him wear her helmet with a rainbow flag on it. As you might assume, yes, he did ask her out. :rolleyes:

My only comment is snark weevil cunning.
