“Gay pride flags flying at all of our embassies worldwide.”
Why choose the rainbow, which has nothing to do with “PRIDE”. Was it because it attracts children, or because it is a religious symbol, or is it just pretty?
“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
Remember Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition?
The Rainbow Coalition was an antiracist, anticlass multicultural movement founded April 4, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois by Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party, along with William “Preacherman” Fesperman of the Young Patriots Organization and José Cha Cha Jiménez, founder of the Young Lords. It was the first of several 20th century black-led organizations to use the “rainbow coalition” concept.
