usta be- Rainbows were being co-opted by dem New Agers! Dadgum gays stole it from dem!

actually, I thought the OP was going to be about Young-Earth Creationists claiming that rainbows didn’t occur until after the Flood.

And does anybody want to guess my favorite sport?

Sorry, can’t exactly do the logo right because the letters are white on a rainbow background but you get the point.

Cool, thanks **Homebrew**.

Does this mean Rainbow Brite is the official cartoon for gay pride?

::snort::

WOW does that song work as being a gay love rallying cry!

“…and what’s on the other side?”

“Have you been half-asleep, and have you heard voices? I’ve heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailor?”

See? It’s all about “finding the rainbow connection”, if you catch my drift.
