"Hey wait a minute...I've got an idea!"

About 25 years ago I visited a friend who had just moved into an apartment building in an old section of Pittsburgh. The building probably dated from the early 1900s.
When I went inside I couldn’t help but gasp a little to see that the floor in the entry way was done in swastika tile. It didn’t just appear that way—the design was deliberate. Even though he was a big lib, we both got a good laugh out of it. I wish I had taken a picture.
When the building was built, of course, the symbol didn’t have that connotation. But I’m sure they’ve replaced the floor since.
And the “ghey” rainbow only has six colors. Six...the number of a man.
The real rainbow, God’s Symbol of His Covenant with Noah, has 7 visible colors. Seven is the number of Divine perfection and Completion. Whoever designed the “ghey” flag may not have been aware of that, but God was!
Dazed and Confused magazine?
Obviously I have no problem with the traditional Buddhist/Hindu use of this symbol but in Europe particularly and in the America today it yet has the connotation of symbolizing a very bloody brand of excessive nationalism and racism which hasn’t yet gone away completely. The T-shirt company can’t be ignorant of the fact. I have no sympathy.
They better watch out. BNSF railroad might sue them for infringement. And be sure to burn Swastika coal in your locomotives. http://digging-history.com/2014/10/22/ghost-town-wednesday-swastika-new-mexico/
Not to be confused with Swastika, Ontario, Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_railway_station
Maybe they should just try to bring back the Charlie Chaplin mustache instead.

It is present in a lot of Northern European artifacts as well, from the Bronze Age through the Dark Age. It is a primordial sun symbol.
It’s going to be another couple of generations before the swastika’s true meaning is “rediscovered”, but is will be reclaimed, just as the rainbow will be reclaimed.
It is also on some soviet money from 1919. Look behind the double headed eagle, there is is.
Or, we're going to try to pick up a turd by the clean end.
They are either liberals or trying to prove to liberals that the concept of love winning over hatred is not always the case. My guess is they are liberals though.
I'm guessing this was made for the Nazi homosexual agenda. Surprised they didn't jump on it with the pretty rainbow.
Back around 1980, there were two houses on SE Division Street in Portland OR that had swastikas built into their chimneys in contrasting colored bricks. The houses were probably built in the 20s or 30s. I haven’t been back to that town in a long time, but sometimes I wonder if the chimneys are still there. SE Division, near 24th or thereabouts, one on each side of the street, if anyone cares to look. I still have photos of both.
I did not know there was a unicode symbol for 卐 or 卍. Thanks.
Homosexuals would love these tshirts.
