Right wing Christians (don't put it in quotes, don't do a No True Scotsman, they're Christians) hate rainbows now and I can't love it more because it ruins their precious Noah story for them.
The guy has a dope, but do people really think they hate rainbows and not what this flag is supposed to represent?
They sure as fuck complain every time they see a rainbow anywhere.
Really? Sure as fuck? Well, this should be easy for you to prove then. Or were you lying?
For example, this guy complaining that the rainbow has been ruined for religion ever since it was "secularized" but the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

I'm sure you'll say this won't count because this is your typical M.O.
I look forward to you berating me because actually Somewhere Over the Rainbow is about sucking cock or something.
I don't see where in this article where it shows that "They sure as fuck complain every time they see a rainbow anywhere."
It don't even see where it shows this individual complaint when he sees a rainbow outside of on the flag.
Could you be more specific?
Called it.
I love that I even told you what he said and you claim you don't see it. Try a control-F for the word 'somewhere." That should help.
"Although secularized over the years to signify dreamy pot-o-gold optimism or new beginnings Somewhere over the Rainbow, it wasn’t until the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration in 1978 that the rainbow symbol was co-opted by the non-heterosexual lobby group."
Nowhere in that does it say he complains everytime he sees a rainbow, let alone that all of them complain every time they see one, as you claimed.
It's not hard to predict that people will challenge your evidence when it doesn't support your claims. But this is a good tactic when posting BS that doesn't support your point.
No amount of evidence I ever provide is good enough for you any time you talk to me and your hard-on for attacking every post I make is becoming tiresome. Frankly, I'm about to start reporting you for harassment since it happens so often.
I searched for what you told me to, copy and pasted it here, and it doesn't even support your claim for that individual let alone for all right wing Christians as you said.
Certainly we can both agree that 0 evidence is not going to convince me. So it seems quite presumptuous to assume no amount of evidence could convince me.
Believe me, I bite my tongue plenty when I see your posts, so we both know it's an outright lie that I attack every post you make.
You post here too much, and I post here too much. It's not harassment that every few days we butt heads over something. It's just what happens when people disagree.
We'll see if the mods agree next time you decide to attack me like this. Because I'm sick and tired of it and I'm not interested in arguing with you about it either.
Lol I didn't attack you, I challenged you. You were the one who attacked my character over and over again.
