What Is So Gay About Rainbows? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. myklj999 (7262)   ranked 3 out of 727 in been an idiot1 year ago

I have to post this under this interest.

Because I must be an idiot to think I'm not gonna catch hell over it. doh

Why are rainbows a sign of "Gay Pride"? I really don't understand this, and the (limited) searching I have done has yielded no real clue for me about it.

*at which point everyone shouts "get a clue mykl!"*

I don't think I'm particularly dense or anything. I just don't see the correlation between rainbows and being gay.

I like looking at rainbows; but I'm not gay.

I do support the right of people to choose who they want to love and be partners with. I have nothing against anyone that feels a same sex relationship is what they want. It's not what I choose for myself, but I don't run their life and I don't want to.

I just want to know why rainbows are gay.

Anybody wanna help me out here?

Well, there's only 12 in a box and I got two boxes a week ago today, so I don't think it's gonna make me puke or anything. That's only an average of like 3 1/2 cookies a day roughly.

The "rainbow" is the representation of the flag that they have chosen to represent their organizations. I am not sure "who" decided that these would be the colors to represent them.


myLot reputation of 76/100. myklj999 (7262)   ranked 3 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Well, the flag is a representation of the rainbow they have chosen...six of one and a half doxen of the other, right?happy

But why a rainbow? There has to be a deeper hidden meaning.

Here's what Wikipedia says. Take it with a grain of salt, but it seems to make sense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag


myLot reputation of 76/100. myklj999 (7262)   ranked 3 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

I don't have any salt handy, so I took it with the cup of Tomato soup I was drinking.

I'm not sure if that helped or hindered my understanding; there are so many other uses of the rainbow flag there that now I am thoroughly confused...but thanks for trying.

(Maybe it's just the soup)lol


myLot reputation of 86/100. itsmefaith (2236)   ranked 2 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

I guess it depends on what's in the soup? Just salt?? Hmmmm

It seems that the flag mainly symbolizes diversity (from what I read which was only the first paragraph, LOL). I'll have to read the whole thing to see if I can get more confused, too. I'll also look for more reputable sources than Wiki. My instructors always say we shouldn't use it alone since it's written by random people.


myLot reputation of 70/100. Paula1966 (560)   ranked 553 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

There is plenty of salt in that soup myk!!! The only way hubby will be getting tomato soup anytime soon is if I figure out how to make it from scratch due to the sodium content of the premade soups.

Sorry, though, no ideas about the rainbows. Maybe it has something to do with Judy Garland and the Wizard of Oz.

Thinking biblically, God set the rainbow over the earth after using rain to flush all of the sin of the earth away.
It should be noted, that the rainbow is the symbol of a covenant God made with Himself toward mankind. And if you look down on a rainbow from above, the bow is actually a circle or ring. We use rings today as symbols in marriage to indicate a never ending status of marriage. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to stop divorce very much...

And none of that answered your question. So it was a cheap attempt to get extra money from our benefactors...


myLot reputation of 93/100. jerzgirl (2725)   ranked 18 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Yep - the rainbow was a covenant and meant as a promise to never again bring destruction upon the earth like that of the global flood.

I did remember that the flag was created by an artist and that each color represented something but the rest was more then a bit fuzzy. I looked it up and found:


The original flag had eight stripes from top to bottom: pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sunlight), green (nature), turquoise (magic), indigo/blue (serenity), and violet (spirit). Within a year, the flag had shed two of its stripes—pink and violet. According to Gilbert, they "ran out of pink dye." The violet stripe was later taken out to create an even number of stripes on the flag. You can read more here:http://gaylife.about.com/od/gaypride/p/rainbowflag.htm

I think rainbows represent acceptance of people of all races, colors and creeds but I don't really know.

Rainbows will always represent God's promise not to destroy the earth with a flood, but He never said anything about fire so you better get to repenting lol

I like music, Kling. And, I like powerful voices like those mentioned as well as Ethel Merman's (ancient history for some).


myLot reputation of 81/100. KrazyKlingon (3171)   ranked 132 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

You'd probably cringe from hearing the music that I mentioned in my response, l;eaving you looking like this --> surrender

Speaking of Raz - see comment I left on her profile - an all-time favorite of mine. BTW - she can also still sing, but because she was 15 when she sang it back then & when she sings it now, her voice has changed, but she can still hit those high notes.


myLot reputation of 93/100. jerzgirl (2725)   ranked 18 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

That was an oldie!! Haven't heard that in a long time. There was a singer back in the late 60s or early 70s, too, who could hit notes no one else could. She died only a few years after making her mark. She had a wicked vocal range. For the life of me, I can't think of her name, but I know the country singer Mindy McCready's name reminds me of her. The Ms, I think.


myLot reputation of 81/100. KrazyKlingon (3171)   ranked 132 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

I'm thinking of a song titled "Loving You." I cannot remember her name off-hand, but she had her start as the singer for a no-hit group called The Rotary Connection. Then she sang that song I mentioned. She died of either throat or lung cancer.


myLot reputation of 93/100. jerzgirl (2725)   ranked 18 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

That's the one!!! Minnie Ripperton

I remembered her name as I drove down the highway to my friend's house - I'm on his laptop right now. I can never remember titles or artists unless I get a trigger - don't know what the trigger was in the car, but it came to me and then the song title reminded me as well. Yep, she's the one. She could hit notes that would make dogs come running!! LOL


myLot reputation of 81/100. KrazyKlingon (3171)   ranked 132 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Yeah - that's her. Also, that's one song that if you can sing it, if you have a glass of wine in your hand, you might just find youself wearing the wine instead of drinking it. lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. jerzgirl (2725)   ranked 18 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Exactly!!!


myLot reputation of 81/100. KrazyKlingon (3171)   ranked 132 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

BTW - this is Rosie - 42 years later. Even though her voice changed some, she can still hit those high notes without any sign of struggling.
