I just think its weird that the GLBT flag is a rainbow does anyone else think we should get something else as flag?

I think I would change it to anything but a rainbow because it just seems to hippie-ish because it reminds me of tye-dye

I assumed that it was a rainbow to recognize that all people (color, size, religion, etc....) matter.

Full disclosure: I'm a straight guy, but I stick up for the gay community when the bigots come out from under their bridges (hint hint!).
Who decided to use a rainbow in the first place? Its pretty, but does it really reflect what you are trying to say? I know gays don't "own" the rainbow (but Harvey Firestein is right about owning Broadway and I knew it before he said it!), but I also don't care if they use it as a symbol. Rainbows are cool - and good luck. As long as you aren't hurting anybody, do what you want.

I'm sorry to say that I disagree with you. I like having the rainbow flag. I like that is stands for equality for all people and not just for those who are gay. I also like it because it is usually bright so it is easy to spot, there is no hiding it. Plus, I really like rainbows.
What would you change it to if you were given the choice?

I always always say that cause the rainbow was sent by God after the flood as a promise that he would never send a flood so great again...so why the heck do we use it as a symbol lol...not to mention its soooooooo gayyyy....im gay and even a rainbow is too gay for me

Yes please, no one else can use rainbows with out endorsing the lifestyle, and maybe that's the point, branding a product puts it in the public heightens its visiblality.
How many people get the pink triangle?

no. Rainbow represents a variety of colors, of people and of different sexualities.

I THINK THAT FLAG SHOULD KEEP THOSE COLORS AS A BACKGROUND AND MAYBE ADD SOMETHING TO IT TO ALSO REPRESENT GLBT.
