I despise how homo-activists have appropriated the rainbow symbol which otherwise was often used as simply either a Christian or innocuous symbol for their own.

The left turns everything upside down.

good point. It's even weirder if you consider that the rainbow flag is linked to the Stonewall riots which occured when some NYC drag-queens were celebrating Judy "Over the Rainbow" Garland's birthday.

I read a Mark Steyn column recently in which he was tired of being sterotyped as gay b/c he liked show tunes. He made the insightful observation that the Rogers and Hammerstein musicals of the 40s-60s were the "thruway of American culture" whereas the Stephen Sondheim musicals of the 70s and 80s were nothing but a trite "gay ghetto."

You're right. It really is sad how the left distorts and destroys things. Another interesting example would be the Confederate flag. During the 70s, the rest of the country viewed the confederate flag as a quaint piece of Americana. Now it's a "racist symbol of hate."
