question about the Gay pride flag

[alwaysforyou]

Does anyone know why the flag has the color scheme of a rainbow? I know many people will comment about how stupid this question is but I am asking because I don't know.

[The Truth]

As far as I know, the rainbow colors symbolize plurality and love of life. The multicultural symbolism of the rainbow is commonly used to represent diversity.

Nah, not really a stupid question at all...A pretty good one in fact.

I always assumed that the rainbow motif meant "all the colors under the rainbow"

Its cause gay people like to decorate and if its a rainbow with multiple colors it will match anything.

the rainbow pretty much just means the same as the word 'gay'. different, and happy about it

I honestly don't know what's up with that damn rainbow flag. It probably goes back to "Wizard Of Oz", would be my guess. Everything gay can, eventually, be traced back to Judy Garland.

I'm just glad I'm done with another gay pride weekend. This is the second year in a row I got stuck in the kitchen washing dishes for two hours. I think the owner finds that amusing.

I did catch seeing the local roller derby girls in the parade though. They seem to like flashing their underwear at the crowd, which was nice.

Oh, yah, the flag. It's all about Judy Garland.
