I love rainbows and I'm not even gay. SO I know exactally how you feel.

I get this. I hate the fact that I can't wear my favorite hoodie anymore because people kept calling me a lesbian.

I'm bi-sexual and I wear rainbows but not for the whole 'i'm bi and like the same sex thing' i just like how they look...but it's a persons preference to why they want to wear a rainbow. If its for gay pride then that's their choice. If it's just because of how it looks that that too is fine.

I am 100% straight, and yet I like rainbows, and never have thought of them as anything to do with what most of those people in mention happen to do so.
I agree with you completely, I find it annoying and immature.

I'm straight and i sometimes wear rainbow patterns. Just yesterday, for example.
Homosexuality has no more a monopoly on rainbows than communism or fey StrarTrek characters have one on the color red.

they dont represent the colour spectrum... they ARE the colour spectrum...
they represented god's promise to never again flood the earth before anything else i think

I'm more akin to two or three colour gradients, but each to their own, hehe

Maybe I'm selfish, but I'm glad rainbows are considered a symbol of gay pride.
I'm gay and I loved rainbows even before I knew it!!!!
Haha.

Ilu rainbows.

I were a rainbow bracelet but not because of gay pride I were it because it symbols
red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sunlight), green (nature), blue (harmony), and purple/violet (spirit)
And as it says on wikipedia
"The use of rainbow flags has a long tradition; they are displayed in many cultures around the world as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning"

Ah, indeed. You can't wear a rainbow shirt anymore without everybody thinking you're gay. Not that being gay would be bad, but I hate it when people assume things that are not true.

I don't

I get where you're coming from,
I for one, love rainbows, but people are always assuming its gay pride
I mean i have nothing against gays, But I'm straight and I just like rainbows

Ahhhh yes. One of my best friends LOVES rainbows.. I wonder what the online/real world thinks of that (she's straight). o_O
Rainbows are so pretty

some people would say 'there's a difference in colors.'
but is there really a difference between 'red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple' and 'red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet' when they all turn out the same on the color wheel?

Aren't tainbows are only a sign of gaiety because the word "gay" traditionally meant vibrant in colour/happy? That's why I hate rainbows. I think gay pride needs a better symbol.

i believe the rainbow was chosen as the symbol because they saw it as signifying unity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
It does, the gay pride flag used to be the same as the cooperativity flag. Then cooperatives changed it to a white flag with a multicolored flock of birds. My school worked as a cooperative and we had the national flag guards and the cooperatives flag guards. Needless to say it is all flavors of awkward when they see pictures of me in my school uniform next to the gay pride flag.
I support gay and non-gay rainbows. They ought to be free to choose their own sexuality.

I never knew that. It makes sense though, the different colours as variety in people, all coming together to make something beautiful. That only makes me love rainbows even more!

I loved rainbows so much as a kid but now they are just symbols of gay pride. I have no problem with gays but I wish they had picked something else... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I wish people would stop hating on gay people.
Then everyone's problems would be solved, because gay people wouldn't need symbols anymore.

Dear fucking God, I couldn't agree more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Trust me, even if they were accepted, they'd still have a symbol.
It represents them. That's why they have it.
Every group has an image, whether popular or unpopular.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They wouldn't have a symbol. Vegetarians don't have a symbol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, one group that doesn't fight in politics. Unless they fight for animal rights, or whatever.
I still think they'd have a symbol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
PETA might have a symbol.. But they aren't composed of all vegetarians.
Ghandi never had a symbol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
He did...I think it was some kind of crop, representing hard work? I'm not sure but I think it's part of the inian government's symbol or summat
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't know that. The things you learn!

Gandhi's symbol was all of the work he left behind. Corny? Yeah. Even an image of him helps people, or a story.
A symbol doesn't have to be an exact picture. It just represents something, or someone, or a group, so they can be identified. Most often I find it for political activism, and the groups or persons can be accepted. It's not always hostility.
Gay people still have symbols. They'd use them to distinguish from each other since there are so many sub-divisions, it seems.
Having an image doesn't exactly mean you're hated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. Ghandi did NOT have a symbol. His work isn't a symbol--it's just his work.
People band together as groups that need to be identified for a purpose. Especially in politics, the purpose tends to be change. These groups that are in to cause change need symbols. Gay people wouldn't need to band together if they weren't trying to change something, thus the vegetarian reference. PETA wants to change something, but PETA isn't all vegetarians. Vegetarians that don't want to change anything don't have a symbol.
So if gay people didn't need to change society's general acceptance of them, they wouldn't need a symbol.
Stop arguing, it's pointless.

Here's a few of my latest discoveries:

I was wondering why rainbows all of a sudden became associated with being gay, no matter where you see them. I don't see how one group of people can claim the whole rainbow when every other group only gets to claim a few colors >.<
I have nothing against gay pride I just wish most people didn't assume that it is automatically something to do with that when they see a rainbow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I AM HALF THE RAINBOW! *kudos to anyone knows what I mean by that*
But I see Rainbows as gateways to...light!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I love rainbows. They're beautiful.
And I support the non-gay rainbow. I support the prism spectrum of light hiting mist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh I totally agree
I saw my 1st rainbow 2 years ago
it was beautiful ^_^
I didn't think "oh looka gay" or w/e... I thought... Oh look the color spectrum at it's finest
or actually no I lied..
I thought of a pot of gold ^_^
