Answer 1

I agree with Morgan. Rainbows are nothing more than a pretty meteorological condition that can be scientifically and mathematically proven.

Answer 2

For homosexuals the rainbow is not a symbol of pride, it, too, is a symbol of hope.

I do not think the rainbow symbolism has been marred. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, homos, heteros, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,....it seems to be well understood to be a symbol of hope and love. Both eastern and western religions use it as a symbol of hope for a better future and also of God's love and grace. Gays and lesbians understand the symbol to be the same. For them they have been able to withstand the turmoil the society places upon them, the suffering they endure, the storms of change and chaos as they try to figure out their place in the world. It is the rainbow that is the symbol many gays first see and it is a symbol of hope. They come to meet others who have also undergone the same experiences of being outcasted and displaced for being honest about who they are and they form bonds of community and family with one another. There they come to see God's love and grace for humanity because they are not left out in the wild with nothing, left to die. Instead it is God who provides for them. God who brings these people together, unites them, cares for them, and helps give them strength. It doesn't matter what religion you are, the same is true each time. The rainbow, with its colors that show the diversity of light being refracted by water in the atmospher serves as a great symbol. Afterall it takes going through a storm before the rainbow can appear. The rainbow for gays is still the same symbol of hope and God's love and grace as ever it was for others.

Unfortunately there are others out there that try to say that gays use the symbol to represent pride or to represent their community. It is probably the most common symbol amongst gays because it holds so much meaning, but it isn't the only symbol that is used. And we are careful to use an exact series of colors in an exact way so as to properly use the rainbow. We are fully aware that the symbol has deep meanings not only for religious groups, but also many other cultural groups, peace groups, international organizations, etc. Each of the groups that use the rainbow symbol adopt a certain logo type symbol that highlights an exact set of colors displayed in an exact set way. The official homosexual rainbow should always be
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
If using the pre-1978 colors then it would be
Fuschia
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Indigo
Blue
Violet

Gays openly admit that if the colors are reversed that they represent the Peace movement (because many peace organizations use a flipped rainbow...sometimes they put the words peace on the flag or add a white stripe somewhere). If the rainbow is in anyother order other than the one mentioned or contains exta colors, then it is not considered the same symbol. And generally speaking the stripes must be horizontal not vertical (some seem to think it can be done anyway and this isn't true either since there are nongay organizations that use the rainbow colors in stripes that are verticle or curved, etc). And the rainbow itself, in its arc form, is still considered by many gays to be the religious symbol (Christian gays tend to keep this intact).

The only other symbol that the gay community uses that also includes the rainbow is the rainbow flag with the black stripe on the bottom and that black stripe represents all those in the community that have died from HIV/AIDS and from violence. Other than symbols like the pink triangle and lambda are actually the next most common symbols amongst gays (and sometimes rainbow with a pink triangle or a lavender lambda are common too).

Otherwise, even I as a gay person if I see a rainbow anything I don't immediately go "Oh the gay symbol". It immediately reminds me of the message of hope. In fact the only people I know who usually immediately identify the rainbow as "the" gay symbol tend to be people I know who are tend to be anti-gay and constantly talking about how much they don't like gay people. Otherwise, most heterosexuals and homosexuals I know still relate the rainbow to the symbol of hope first and the symbol of anything else later (and it varies). In fact, there are a lot of gay people I have met that did not know that the rainbow was a symbol of the gay community, but were aware of the pink triangle.

Honey, have you heard of "Spell Check" or punctuation?
Do you know what a run-on sentence is or (used VERY loosely here) a sentence fragment?
Do you have any understanding of writing for the reader, ie, writing to get your point across in a concise and understandable format?

I have NO IDEA what your question is, or was purported be about.

Best Wishes!

EDIT: Oh...

Well! Uhh...



Yes, of course. Exactly what "gabriel_zachary" said.
Well done!

Answer 4

I'd kind of like it to come back to it actual real meaning of "Hey look, when light shines through a prism it's separated into it's various wavelengths! Ain't that pretty?"

Answer 5

I wonder what Noah would think of what has happened to the sign of the rainbow.

Answer 6

Well, all I pray for is that God should give his guidance and protection to those who believe in him and forgive the world for their sake.
