Rainbows are Pretty
I had this big, funny, jokey post thing about how I was going to start the Take Back The Rainbow Movement or whatever but then I saw this. And this. And then I was like, "You know what? Maybe gays get to have the rainbow because of all the crap they actually have to put up with."
Anyway it was a funny idea until I found out it had already been done in a completely inappropriate way.
The good news is, we are this close to having SUPER-SCIENTOLOGISTS.

Try a rainbow accessory next time, such as a rainbow wig or rainbow suspenders.
Who does that petition get sent to? The Commission for Making Rainbows Not Gay Anymore?
Just bananas man. My perceptics for deciding what is important tells me that scientology is not important.
BANANAS.
Hahah a day of religious crazies... i mean fanatics... errr... PRETEND I SAID SOMTHING PC!
Yeah... I think a full rainbow shirt might generate confusion. Um, a little lapel rainbow would be a nice accessory, and then only the schmucks that would run away in terror at your exploding shirt and rapidly growing facial hair would say something inappropriate to you.
By the way, I think all of that technically qualifies as a superpower.
The comments on that petition have to be the most fucked up thing I've seen all week...
...and I read Warren Ellis' blog.
I think you could have pulled off the rainbow shirt if you weren't wearing the cut-off jeans.
ALSO
an "awareness of importance, unimportance."(from the scientology thing)
I predict Suicide Booths. THis is how it started people next you know there will be line-ups on New Years.
Hey, Christians are people too. They're not jerks just because they want to wear rainbows. The rainbow means something to them. It's a sign of God's promise not to destroy the Earth... although apparently He plans to break it, what with the Armageddon and all. Maybe He gets off the hook what with the anti-Christs (plural) and all... although if he's omnipotent and knows it's gonna happen, why is He not stopping it? Damn. Maybe they are jerks.
Honestly, I am gay and I am over the rainbow. I never liked the rainbow. The rainbow symbolises diversity and the gay community is not about diversity. It is about being gay and, apparently rejecting what everyone else considers normal and/or rational, simply because you can.
This is totally retarded.
I hate the idea of a gay community because it implies that we're seperate from the actual community. I hate the idea of gay pride because it implies that your sexuality is something you could be ashamed of. It's like "Brown hair pride" or "5-foot-eleven pride". Thoroughly ridiculous. Basically I hate the idea of segregating ourselves from the community, yet these idiots keep doing it every goddam day.
So, have your fucking rainbow. It's so 80s, anyway. Bleh.
Yay Gorman! Sometimes I wish I was gay so I could say stuff like that and not sound like a jerk.
I think having your identity be dictated by your sexual preference makes for a very shallow person.
I'm 5 foot eleven.
Everyday is a new challenge.
When I stopped growing my parents kicked me out, saying "we're not having the sort of 5'11" in this house."
I am tall enough to catch rainbows though.

What about a "Give back the Rainbow" movement?
5'11" PRIDE! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hey! I'm 5'11! But I'm straight too! Am I in?
Seriously though, I can only hope that like some of the other things I've seen lying around on the net, this one's a big fat joke by someone who despises bigots even more than I do. It's interesting to note that most of the people who signed (in favour) can't even spell. Suggesting a lack of education. Bigots are stupid? Hold the front page!
Right, I know those are terrible sites, and the idiots who buy them are either trying to be ironically unfunny or terrifyingly sincere. But I sincerely want this shirt, and now I'm conflicted! (B-but I'll just stencil it at home.)
did you know that the things they describe in that scientology article that make people have super powers are thing they do to hypnotise people?
because it is.
fucking scientologists.
