Purple dye was reserved for royalty!.................Now, it’s a symbol of homosexuality...............

[Clutch Martin]

Do you mean to tell me the purple lady in town is a homosexual? Her house is purple, she wears purple, she decorates her yard very oddly with wind chimes & skillfully cut bottles... terracotta things, bird fountains, feeders, Cats! That lady...THE Purple lady?

I don’t beleive it.

I tried to buy a tallit in Israel for a relative going into the ministry. Was very hard to find one made with the ancient dye-making method they’ve revived...even in the specialty shops.

This is how the dye used to be made. It’s fascinating.

Actually the priests in the temple wore a purple dyed garment.
