    I’m a straight biological male and love rainbows. Colours are pretty! Not sure why anyone would get upset about rainbows. You know, the NATURALLY occurring thing?

        Bingo. As a Pink Floyd fan I remember seeing bigots complain about the gay “rainbow” with the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon.

        I use to have a tee shirt that said “Which one’s Pink?” And non Pink Floyd fans thinking it was a gay reference instead of a song lyric asking who is Pink Floyd".

      You know they get upset at all kinds of Science shit that’s for liberals and nerds. Rainbows are no different.

      Another cis straight male here btw. Rainbows are awesome in more ways than one. And how could you be a sensible person and not be an ally to those who would prefer not to be oppressed for stupid reasons?

      Not the only reason by any stretch, but Christians love to claim that no one else can use rainbows because of that myth where their god used one to apologize for one of his many mass genocides.
