Whoops, I meant:\n\nhttp://www.cathedralofhope.com/homosexuality/index.php\n\nEDIT: Interesting, Servant of God... you first put "God" instead of "Gay" as being a lust...\n\nFreudian Slip, perhaps?

Think about it for a while. Then try to name a famous person you  CAN stand. It's gonna be a tough one... (I'm talking about contemporary 'icons')

Ya know, you're absolutely right! Gay fashion designers DO have a high degree of creativity that is put upon the sticks to parade in as they walk the catwalk.  I would LOVE to see a fashion show with "normal" people in it.

a man who is well groomed, articulate and very fashionable.  Metrosexual males (like David Beckham for example,  will appeal, although not necessarily sexually) to gay and straight men and gay and straight women.  Hence they are very marketable - many of today's models and celebs are metrosexual.  Viva diversity

Just because you wear small shirts doesn't make you gay.  Usually when a straight guy knows a lot about fashion, he's called a metrosexual.  It has nothing to do with being gay :)

Those who know, know.  Those who don't, don't.  \n\nWhile I'd like to think that for the most part people know that the rainbow is a symbol of gay pride, I know for a fact that there are people who have absolutely no clue.  For instance I knitted my gay cousin a rainbow scarf for Christmas, and when he opened it in front of the whole family only two people looked at me with that knowing look.  The rest were oblivious.

For lesbians, it's actually a black triangle...gay men are the pink triangle.\n\n"The Black Triangle was used to identify "socially unacceptable" women in concentration camps by the Nazis. Lesbians were included in this classification. Since then lesbians have appropriated the Black Triangle as a symbol of defiance against repression and discrimination as gay men have similarly appropriated the Pink triangle."\n\nThe first rainbow flag was used in 1978 and actually had 8 stripes, as opposed to the present day one which uses 6. The colors were assigned specific meaning:\n\nred - life \norange - healing \nyellow - sunlight \ngreen - nature \nblue - serenity \nviolet - spirit \n\nSometimes, a black stripe is added symbolizing those in the community that have died from AIDS.\n\nUsing a rainbow makes sense because the rainbow is a symbol of diversity.\n\n"The use of rainbow flags has a long tradition; they are displayed in many cultures around the world as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning. This denotation goes back to the rainbow as a symbol of biblical promise, and the use of all the colours of the rainbow symbolises all flags in one."
