Nope, I'm not going to write about misheard lyrics (at least not today!) or Jimi Hendrix songs.
I'm going to discuss rainbows and why I want them returned to all of the people of the world.
Rainbows are colorful, fun, enjoyable symbols of happiness. Rainbows make us think of childrens' toys, Olympic rings and Lucky Charms. Come on, Pink Hearts, Orange Stars, Yellow Moons, Green Clovers, Blue Diamonds.... and Purple Horseshoes!
In the 1970', however, a crime was committed. The gay community took the rainbow.
A sidenote that needs not be made to anyone that's known me for more than five minutes: gays are 100% equal to all other people on Earth and deserve every single thing straights have available to them.
Having said that, the same goes for non-gays. WE deserve the rainbow too.
I want it back and I want it back right now.
What, you think you get to just come in and claim a meteorological phenomenon for your own? You can't just march in like Neil Armstrong and stick a rainbow flag down and say "mine", what the hell is that about?
You know what? The Sun. It's mine. I want it. It's my symbol and from here on out, all uses of the Sun will be a symbol of the wonderfulness that is Kim. Done.
What? I can't have the sun? Why? It's there, I like it, and I want it. It is going to symbolize me and everyone will call me Sunshine from now on, because that's ME. I'm a SUNNY person.
Ok, nevermind... I see the flaw.
Forget the sun. I will take the gray raincloud.
You see my point? You can't just claim a random weather occurance as your own.
I like rainbows. You know what happened when I created a line of rainbow hay bales in Farmville? I got an invitation to a facebook group for GLBT members.
Again, I have no problem with the GLBT groups - all the love in the world to them... but now I can't even arrange cartoon hay bales into a happy design without people making assumptions about me. Now I know how black guys feel when they hear car doors lock as they walk down the street.
So, no, sorry, you can't have the rainbow. Pick something else. What about that purple triangle business? You all still doing that? You can have that. I don't care much for triangles. They have three sides, which is not an even number, so I haven't much use for that. And purple is a great color but I'm willing to live without it if the gay community absolutely needs to have their own color.
But that's the thing... you get ONE color. The Irish have green and are happy with that. You don't get to come in and take ALL the colors. What the hell?
So get together, pick one color... choose a shape as well, if you must, and give the rest of them back, you greedy-asses.
Thanks.
