Homosexuals just don't get it. They do however know how to be offensive.
I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination. I find homosexuality offensive simply because it is unnatural. This doesn't make me a homophobe or a bigot. There are plenty of behaviors out there I find offensive without me being a hatemonger. But the point of this post isn't to debate the offensive nature of homosexuality itself, but the offensive hijacking of a symbol by homosexual advocates - the rainbow.
What is a rainbow? Simply a refraction of light by some sort of prism, or bending of the light through some other medium, like rain. To the religious it is a symbol of a covenant between God and humanity that he will never again destroy mankind through a flood, scripturally Genesis 9, 12-17. It is sometimes referred to as the '"First" covenant between God and man. The homosexual lobby knows this and it offends me on principal that such a symbol is being used to advocate for their cause. It has been hijacked from Christians solely for the purpose of twisting and defiling the message of God.
None of this needs have anything to do with religion, at least from my perspective. But isn't it ironic that a group who is attempting to rally support for it's 'cause' would purposefully offend such a large segment of society? Isn't it more than a coincidence that a organization of advocates would use a 'religious' symbol to help them rail against what they perceive to be some sort of religious 'persecution'? I'm not advocating for the religious or Christian beliefs about homosexuality. What I am pointing out is that I find it ironic that an advocacy group touting to be about equality and 'fairness' would be purposefully offensive and mis-representative of such a symbol as the rainbow. Don't try to tell me it wasn't on purpose. I don't buy that.
