"Homosexuals stole the rainbow from God!!"

Princess Alice · 2017-04-26 03:30:24

For as often as you see this said, I'm surprised we haven't seen some fundie publish a faux cease-and-desist letter for the news media to inexplicably dignify with coverage

...

Cue people linking me to examples of this already having happened

fox news wants peta to be angry if they get mercilessly skewered into oblivion

DYRE · 2017-04-26 03:33:53

By this reasoning, isn't using any symbol for any purpose stealing it from God?

Obā-san · 2017-04-26 03:40:54

please let god have it back

Obā-san · 2017-04-26 03:51:14

let the demiurge devour it and crawl back into the cave from which it came

Besides God is obviously gay

i don't think God is very happy with the current state of the world, so i can't say that he's gay

Now look what you've done. You've killed it. Murdered it dead. Didn't anyone ever teach you that murder is wrong? :|

Reminder that Larry Craig is not happy.

I...don't think I've actually ever heard this. Is this an Ohio thing?

Imipolex G · 2017-04-26 05:19:50

no Pennsylvanians say it too

glennmagusharvey · 2017-04-26 05:25:51

probably a conservative christian's generic throwaway insult sort of thing

vtk · 2017-04-26 09:04:55

It's that like "Lenny Bruce is not okay"?

Like Prometheus stealing fire from the heavens for the Greeks

Christians stole the Jesus fish from Neptune.

Prometheus is a messianic figure.

I really must admit, though, it is a little obnoxious how the rainbow is so associated with one thing.

It makes it a bit awkward to use it for anything else.

Maybe I'm just biased because I liked to doodle rainbows in middle school, and people gave me crap for, "supporting the gay agenda", when 11-year-old me just wanted to draw some nice color sequences.

Agreed, though I blame this problem om those people who do this associating, for being insufficiently open-minded and skeptical of their own presumptions.

mario kart is a good thing to be associated with though

glennmagusharvey · 2017-04-27 16:29:51

also i personally associate a rainbow with...

well, a rainbow. and rain, and sunlight, and optics.

also a nice photo of my college campus that features a rainbow.

i mean, i _know_ that the rainbow flag is used as a symbol for the LGBTQ rights movement, but that's not the first thing I think of, and if that is the first thing you (general "you", not anyone here specifically) think of and that bothers you, then you should spend more time thinking about optics and prisms and weather since that's where the thing originally comes from.

Counterpoint: Rainbow Road is garbage.

Obā-san · 2017-04-27 16:32:21

rainbow road is fine i have no clue why people have an issue with falling off the edge

glennmagusharvey · 2017-04-27 16:52:21

rainbow road is only awesome when you CAN fall off the ledge

mk64 rainbow road is boring because you can't

see, it's gotta be both gloriously pretty and awesome-looking but also the most difficult track in the game; that's what makes it worth it

Imipolex G · 2017-04-27 18:05:40

the gayest karting track

Fossilmaiden · 2017-04-27 18:09:03

it's a bad track, bront

On the other hand:

Princess Alice · 2017-04-27 19:50:25

I approve of this derail

Also, if I'm a queer Avenue, does that make me a Rainbow Road?

Bee · 2017-04-27 20:07:18

I totally didn't realize until watching that video that your guy in SNES kart would actually look around as you passed someone.

Also you could definitely fall off the track in 64 Rainbow Road. There was a huge skip you could do by jumping off the first big downhill and landing halfway through the track, but you had to aim it really well because it was a LONG drop.

Klinotaxis · 2017-04-27 20:26:10

it wasn't as common tho.

Calica · 2017-04-27 20:29:38

rainbow road, it's where you go, when you die

Fossilmaiden · 2017-04-27 20:38:20

There was a British Nintendo magazine that mentioned that song, which had a line that went something like "about going to Rainbow Road when you die (presumably of boredom if you're playing the N64 version)".

I always chose Koopa Troopa back in the day.

Hell, I chose Koopa Troopa just last week.

I did that for normal races but then I could barely get anywhere in 100cc special cup.

I used Bowser for my personal record times in time trial.

Honestly I doubt they could have pulled that off. That hinged entirely around keeping full throttle around those hairpins.

Imipolex G · 2017-04-28 03:44:03

I beat the 150cc Special Cup using Koopa Troopa back in the day.

I am not making this up

This is a sentiment I can totally get behind.
Yesterday my sister told me she thought she drove under a rainbow once. I was like, rainbows do not work that way.
