Is tha rainbow a good symbol?

Good. It represents how the world is made up of all kinds of people. it's tacky(in a good way) and I would never wear it, though,

 

it's good and I agree with you, RCooper. I wear my rainbow pride wristband every day

 

Hiiiii.

Don't worry. We "allow" straight people here too. <3

The rainbow is a good symbol for ALL people. Gay people just are the biggest advocates of it. And like some other people here, I do think it can be cheesy, but when used subtly, it's awesome.

It's also cool if you don't know if someone's supportive and then you look on their bag or something and they have a rainbow pin. :]

 

i like it when its not flashed around on everything then its a bit much but otherwise its good i think

 

I like it! I like that it's such a visual metaphor for diversity, and, well... I guess the same part of me that really liked Lisa Frank as a kid is still there and is secretly pleased that I have an excuse to wear rainbows now. ;D

 

Paraphrased from Henry Rollins:

Why'd you guys choose a rainbow? I mean, yeah, I get it - diversity and all that. But you should've chosen something that indicates that you're not to be fucked with. Something like a wrench.

I personally would have preferred a machine gun that shoots different coloured bullets.

 

Henry Rollins is fucking awesome. Just thought I'd say that

 

Yep...the rainbow is a good metaphor...but it's so fricken ugly XP

 

haha, a machine gun with rainbow bullets, that badass.

 

^well it would have to depend on our outfit, wouldn't it?

and talking of rainbows, I bought myself a massive pride flag the day before yesterday at a music festival

 

i dont like people covered in rainbows i get blinded and trip over somthing and look a tit but a subtle wrist band or a nice ring or summat is cool its letting other lgbt people know hey XD

what colour are we? .... you can be any colour you want your all just a rainbow id like to think im neon purple/pink mixed with a clouds silver lining

 

I'm plaid.

Yes, that counts as a color.

... What are you looking at? >:|

 

I don't really like it for my own reasons - I'm not fond of the bright, garish colors and campiness of it, but I suppose as a symbol for LGBT rights it's pretty recognizable.

 

I love the rainbow!

Its supposed to represent our diversity coming together as one. People from all different walks of life, LGBTQLMNOP, are all in one community fighting for a singular goal - equality.

Now i know thats not always the case but thats what the rainbow flag means for me.

 

greggers

thats a crazy acronym ..not sure i can spell haha

rainbows, even after the darkest of skys when all is washed away the sun shall rise and all the colours shall shine down upon the land.

 

Im waiting for someone to pick up on what its a reference from hehe

 

and all the rest of the letters in the alphabet?

rainbows blend in real life, we just cant blend it in the symbols..part of the idea is that we're all together and part of the same thing...wow that is tacky lol
