I know what you mean. I wish they never labeled the rainbow as a GLBT color system. I have no problem with people claiming yellow, pink, red, blue, green, white, etc... for their own pride for GLBT, breast cancer, patriots, Irish Pride, etc... but NOT the rainbow. The rainbow is all colors and that is like saying that the GLBT community dominates the color system. We don't need that. Because of this, lots of people have problems with using rainbows. I have one friend who is ashamed of hanging his Pink Floyd poster in public. It has a picture of a prism with a rainbow shining out of it. Every time he hangs it in public, everyone assumes he's gay. When I was little and people saw rainbows, they thought it was the most beautiful thing they ever saw. Now, if people see rainbows... they don't talk about it. Some of my friends and I used to collect rainbow stuff when we were little. I even used to have rainbow suspenders because of my favorite show, Mork & Mindy. Now, I'm not interested... because people say it's gay. People even say that Mork was gay on that show. He was acting like every other guy would in an 80s show. :roll: I have a few friends who are RAs in the dorms. They used to collect rainbow stuff, posters, pencils, paper, etc. Now, they are ashamed because when they are seen with the stuff, it makes people think that they're gay. No, I'm not talking about straight people. I'm talking about the GLBT community. The GLBT community takes it so seriously that they consider it as a label showing that person is gay. I don't need some gay guys hitting on me just because I'm wearing a rainbow-colored hat. If I tell them that I'm not gay, they then get mad at me for mocking their rainbow colors.
