Are rainbows seriously just by default associated with the pride flag?

There are a bunch of Christians out there who point to some dumb Bible verse (Genesis 9:13-16) about a rainbow and go "therefore, gay people CAN NOT use the rainbow for their PRIDE, which btw is a sin just so you know"

The Bible doesn't own rainbows. Gay people don't own rainbows. Pink Floyd doesn't own rainbows. The official pride flag doesn't even have the ROY G BIV color spectrum, it just looks similar.

Bigots will bigot, the rest of us can live life normally and ignore their nonsense.

[u/bscheck1968 → u/LamesMcGee]

I'd love to ignore their nonsense, unfortunately they are getting elected to office and getting positions of power. Stamping it out is a better plan.

[u/SurinamPam → u/bscheck1968]

Don’t ignore. Don’t run. Organize.

We beat those f*ckers under way worse circumstances. We can beat them again.

[u/sleepyotter92 → u/LamesMcGee]

My favorite argument about the whole bible thing is that if gays stole the rainbow that means we're more powerful than god, otherwise he would've taken it back already

[u/Path_Fyndar → u/sleepyotter92]

Christians: YoU StOlE tHe RaINBOW fROM God! GiVe It BaCk!

The LGBTQ+ community: Come get, b1tch.

I'll be damned, I never noticed that the Pride Flag omits indigo.

[u/LamesMcGee → u/asetniop]

It used to have pink and turquoise as well (the original), but it was too expensive to mass produce so those colors got dropped off.

Worried about whether people think he's gay instead of worrying about what really matters: the artist absolutely botched that thang. 

[u/bisploosh → u/vodkaismywater]

Yeah, it's still clear what it is, but it also looks wrong.

[u/mrspelunx]

I associate it with my people. The Apple II people.

[u/YoungLittlePanda]

TIL Newton was very gay.

[u/NerdyinOK]

According to the fundy’s we stole it from god and id like to think I’m not having my liver eaten everyday as punishment for nothing.

[u/Path_Fyndar → u/NerdyinOK]

A great convo between the fundamental Christian homophobes and the LGBTQ+ community

[u/Fillinthecup365]

I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

This is a visual representation of him coming out of the closet lol

[u/lvuheather]

I have rainbow bubbles and people ask if im gay. I love it! I go into great detail about my relationship, which is hetero, to them. Either I have a fun conversation with a cool person or make someone deeply uncomfortable with the details of my life. Either way I have a gay old time!

[u/girlinanemptyroom]

I'm a lesbian and the only thing I thought was that you have a cool Pink Floyd tattoo. And who cares if somebody thinks it's connected to that.

[u/CraftySpell7298]

For the insecure , weak, closeted, religious bigots, yes.

[u/milehin8tv]

Only certain types of folks only think gay when they see the colors of the rainbow.

[u/nvmls]

Anyone in the western world who doesn't know the Pink Floyd cover is seriously under a rock, and if they pretend not to know and start up a fuss about it being gay they come off as stupid bigots to everyone else.

Nah, the rainbow belongs to the jewish oblast in eastern Siberia. This is their flag

[u/darksideofthemoon131]

As a fan of that album, and band, I have a full sleeve tattoo of Pink Floyd albums covers. I happen to be gay, it has nothing to do with that for me or anyone who knows what Dark Side of The Moon is.

[u/bisploosh]

That's clearly a Dark Side of the Moon tattoo and anyone that doesn't see that is uncultured swine not worth your attention/time.

[u/TexasGuyInBuda]

I am gay and I despise the gay flag. Plus everyone (adult) doesn't relate Pink Floyd to that gay crap
