No "Christmas" trees for the White House, but rainbow lights to celebrate homosexuality are OK.
Sick.

Marketing....nothing more nothing less. Best to just ignore it........don't give 'it' any life. Also pray that God will breathe life back into it for it presently is dead in its sins.
I wish that could have been done just to do it. It sure was pretty! I've always loved rainbows. I wonder how a rainbow, so well known for being being a promise in the Bible, came to be taken and used for this purpose. Was it chosen randomly or is there logic behind its use as their symbol? I'd look it up, but I'm afraid it will bring up porn on ads or something and I don't want to see that.
The rainbow, however, wasn’t popularized as an official symbol of the gay community until the 1970s. In 1978, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed what is believed to be the first modern gay pride flag by combining eight stripes, each a different color with its own symbolism: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for the human spirit. When he wanted to manufacture the flag for sale, he found that hot pink wasn’t as available as the other colors, and so the flag dropped to seven colors. Baker later dropped indigo to maintain an even number, and the flag arrived at its contemporary six colors. When San Francisco gay activists marched to protest the 1978 assassination of city supervisor Harvey Milk, they marched with Baker’s flags.
Best Answer: The rainbow flag was popularized in 1978 by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker, during the Gay Freedom Day Parade (though the association between rainbows and the LGBT community existed before 1978).
The multi-colored flag represents diversity, and hence acceptance of those different from us.
The original flag had pink and turquoise in it, but the colors were taken out because of dye unavailability. As it stands, there are six colors on the Pride Flag, each standing for a specific symbol chosen by Baker:

Hmm...
Wonder if the 42ND Infantry Division will change their insignia from the rainbow to something else like the 45TH Division did when they gave up their swastika when the Nazis started using it?
Or better yet, maybe the Army could place all their homosexuals in that division, so they would feel more confortable and at home.

I truly believe God is judging America. For us to have a President that celebrates sin from the WH. How sad. I don't dare say "can it get any worse?"
So doesn't this proove to you that BO lied about being a Christian?
I didn't know there was ever any doubt.
