Gay Pride: The Rainbow Flag

The rainbow flag, sometimes pride flag, LGBT pride flag or gay pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements in use since the 1970s. The colours reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in LGBT rights marches. It originated in California, but is now used worldwide. Designed by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978, the design has undergone several revisions to first remove then re-add colours due to widely available fabrics. As of 2008, the most common variant consists of six stripes, with the colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is commonly flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

Red = Life 

Orange = Healing 

Yellow = Sun 

 Green = Nature

Blue = Harmony 

Violet = Spirit

Rainbow Over Queens

Yesterday I got caught in one of those sudden summer thunderstorms while doing some shopping in the neighborhood. It was during this time that I realized an advantage of living in an "outer borough" of NYC: When it rains, you can keep dry under the elevated subway tracks! But as soon as the rain ended and I started to stepping, this beautiful rainbow appeared and my gay ass couldn't help but smile.

Rainbow, directly over NYC City Hall

Rainbows are just Jeebus' way of saying "Hey Guuuuurrrll!" to us Gays. It's also his way of saying "Great job, biatches!" for the decision to open City Clerk's offices on Sunday July 24, the first possible day  same-sex couples can legally marry in New York.

Thanks for the shout-out Jeebus!!

Fighting Homophobia - One Cupcake At A Time

In the dictionary under "awesome", there should be a picture of these kids and their rainbowlicious cupcakes. From The Daily What:

While St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School begrudgingly allowed its unofficial gay-straight alliance to hold its anti-homophobia event, it banned the display of rainbows, which the Ontario-based institution said are “associated with Pride.” 

“There’s so many other things that a rainbow could be,” said the unofficial GSA’s 16-year-old founder, Leanne Iskander. “It’s ridiculous.” 

Refusing to let the school’s anti-rainbow policy stop them from being Proud [ed. - and AWESOME], the students decided to bake multicolored cupcakes and arrange them in a rainbow pattern. The best part? There were rainbows baked inside. 

The event wasn’t without its hitches — the school banned most of the group’s literature on gender identity and safe sex and refused to allow the money raised to be donated to an LGBT charity — but Iskander vows to keep fighting the good fight until every Catholic school in Ontario has its own official GSA.

I told you they were awesome.
