International Order of Rainbow for Girls has used a rainbow flag since 1930s, and these perverts are stealing it away from them.

The Fags have hijacked the Rainbow the same way the Nazis hijacked the swastika. I can remember a time when the rainbow was not immediately associated with being gay. Even as recent as the 1970’s, the video game giant ATARI used the rainbow in advertising, and on merchandise. They sold a brown shirt with a rainbow across the chest, and matching coffee mugs. The rainbow for ATARI was associated with the hit game Breakout.

Breakout was a colossal hit, and it didn’t mean you were flashing your gay pride when you played it. So, as it goes, just like the Swastika had nothing to do with evil, it became something signifying evil, the same as with the Rainbow Flag today. I truly see no difference in how the two symbols were co-opted. It’s exactly the same.

The new packaging on the gray Skittles tells you that they have removed all color because the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag is the ‘only rainbow that matters’.

It's a stupid marketing gimmick, but I suppose the company will survive.

One would expect that if they wanted to market to gays and if the rainbow is the gay symbol, then they wouldn't have to change anything except the package to appeal to that demographic, but they made gray "zombie skittles" last year in other unsuccessful marketing gimmick and I guess they couldn't get the color out of their heads.

Just because you enjoy taking other men’s penises up both sides of your digestive tract, and doing the same with yours up theirs? Nothing crazy about that!/s

Maybe the giraffe got mad at the Jamaican guy for milking it in the commercial and gray was the unhappy result.

I look forward to the day that the image evoked by the term “dinnermashing” fades from my memory. Is this like a Tailhook sandwich, only with a man in the middle?

I think that was pretty much addressed in the Sodom & Gomorrah section of the good book. Or rather, at least the consequences of doing ungodly things to one another.
