    LGBT pride has had the rainbow flag as a symbol since 1978. You can read about it on wikipedia: Rainbow Flag (LGBT movement)

    Because of the flag, people associate rainbows with LGBT people, and we go all rainbow crazy for Pride time.

    And, it has become enough of a symbol that people use rainbows to identify themselves as gay people.

    It's because the flag representing the LGBT community is a rainbow. And besides the point, rainbows are kick-ass. Don't go dissing rainbows :newcolor:

    I am not too crazy about the rainbow myself on a flag... I just don't like how rainbow flags look.

    Rainbows are cool tho otherwise

    I'm with the lady in this video. Rainbows are unnatural. What is oozing out of our ground? We as a nation have got to ask ourselves, "what the hell is going on?"

    Because sexual orientation and gender identity knows no racial, socio-economic, ethnic, religious, or political bounds. it is something that is evident in every group on earth.
