All the offence things is very well, but make sure people ARE actually offended, because where i come from, then rainbows are cheerful. In fact my favorite skirt is rainbow - and i HOPE it causes no offence, but then everything will cause some offence, and as Jesus said, we will be persecuted so the world will tell us it is offended by us.
Anyone who really knows you will know that you arent sympathising with homosexuals, and they are who really matter most. And God knows too.
Besides, gays have no right to use God's rainbow as their 'symbol'
Hope this made some kinda sense...

Following your logic, homosexuals must be very Christians, because they´re very persecuted because people like you are so offended for them not bothering in your life. And by the way, in which way a natural phenomenon can be cheerful?
I've made this list before:
Old vhs copy tapes
Reading Rainbow
Care Bears
My Little Pony
Rainbow Brite
some preschools
<i>The Wizard of Oz</i>
All of these use rainbows as their symbol. Symbols like the rainbow are open to anyone's use. Get over it.
Either that, or give us the chalice and the butterfly back. Don't you have enough symbolic possession in your torture object?
If you're a bigot and you know it clap your hands...
If you're a bigot and you know it clap your hands...
If you're a bigot and you know it, then you really ought to show it,
If you're a bigot and you know it clap your hands...
"... where i come from, then rainbows are cheerful..."
So, where you come from, the rainbows are upside down so that they resemble a smile instead of a frown? Where do you come from - the Bizarro World?
I understand your concern, but make sure it is justified in the given context, because where i come from, rainbows are cheerful. In fact my favorite skirt is rainbow - and i HOPE it causes no offence, but then again everything will cause some offence, and Jesus knows that the world isn't exactly thinking the same ways as His followers are.
Anyone who really knows you will know that you arent using the rainbow in the gay context, and God knows too.
Besides, nobody has any right to exclusively use the rainbow as their 'symbol'
Hope this made more sense...

You left out Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition.
I read that thread last night, and I just... it's so incredibly pathetic.
It's a rainbow, anyone can wear something that resembles it. Get over it, morons.

Damn right! And while we're about it, what about Mercedes using the Trinity? And CBS using God's eyeball? And where does Lawn Doctor come off using God's thumb?
Yes, now it is an EVIL rainbow. Mwu-hah-hah-ha!

Besides, god didn't make the rainbow until after teh flood, so he obviously didn't like them before that. They can't be one of his faves.

Next time I see a rainbow I'll look for a copyright symbol. If I don't see one, then fuck it, it's free.
Wow, it's just all about you, isn't it, Emma? Your religion, your rainbow, your symbols, your persecution, your rights. Christianity is just a way for you to feel extra special because Gawd loves you the bestest.
Grow the fuck up already.

IIRC, at least three of these (Care Bears, My Little Pony and Rainbow Brite) have fundie quotes on this site declaring them satanic for, among other things, exactly this reason. I wouldn't be surprised if the others were mentioned around here somewhere, also.
So you're worried that people who see you wear a rainbow skirt will be "offended"? Hon, even if people who see you in that skirt assume that you're homosexual (hint: they won't), the only reason they would be "offended" is if - wait for it - they held the same bigoted beliefs as YOU do! Ironic, no?
Regarding the gay rainbow thing, when "God's rainbow" appears in the sky, I don't see a little registered trademark symbol in the air next to it, which means that anyone is free to use it, honey. And for a group fighting for acceptance for all stripes of people, the rainbow flag just made sense as a symbol of that diversity. It's not like part of the Homosexual Agenda was claiming all of refracted light. ^_^
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
