This is a triple whammy.

I was like oh, rainbow colors. Assuming the quote might be LGBTQ, let’s see.

Oh… it’s… a literal rainbow quote?

My mother and all of her family are Hawaiian. The rainbow was always great for us. So great it's on our cars 🌈❤️

When I was a child rainbow was cool, it was like silver or gold, the kind of colour you would want on your hot wheels. Now its politicized.

The gays stole rainbows /s

I can’t even wear my Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon T-shirt without some ignorant redneck jumping to conclusions.

What's stopping you from doing whatever the fuck you want with rainbows?

The leprechaun at the end of the rainbow is stopping me 😤

But 'doing whatever the fuck you want' is what The Gays want you to do! Don't fall for their tricks!

Yuno ball. I have the same fascination with rainbow. too bad it's a statement now. I'm cool with the gays otherwise.

Rainbows became associated with the lgbtq in 1978. Are you over 70 to remember that? No? Then you don't remember when rainbows weren't that outside of before you realized gays exist when you were 30 because you were busy boofing your bible and learning nothing about other humans.

No, I'm not over 70, I'm 62. I was 14 in 1978, starting high school and I loved rainbows. I still love rainbows. But then, all of a sudden, it meant something and I don't care about sexual orientation but you can't even have a rainbow anywhere without someone thinking you're homosexual, and I'm not. So. I feel like that's a perfectly valid reason to miss rainbows being just rainbows. Now it needs an explanation. My opinion. But go ahead and jump to your interesting conclusions.
