Dear Homophobes: You Can Have The Rainbow, We'll Take The Cross

I'm not sure why anti-gay Christians get so worked up about the rainbow. They weren't even using it until we "took" it. (Can you take something that someone wasn't using and doesn't own, even in the public imagination?)
Surely they are worse things we could have done, than use a flag of many colors? We could have taken some far more important symbols, that they were using. And it's not even a true rainbow, either. It's almost like they're mad that it's pretty.
They say the rainbow is God's promise that he won't flood the earth again because of man's sin, but then they blame every single hurricane on gay sex. They say, "Rainbows belong to Noah," so I guess it's a good thing I'm descended from Noah.
But it's not really the rainbow that they have a problem with. That is one of the many smokescreens they use to hide the real reason they don't like us: That we're gay. Or rather, that we're not going to agree to be ashamed or torn up about it. In their view, as long as you are trying to be straight, it is better for a man to cheat on his wife, than to love and be faithful to his husband.
I wish they would just be more honest. Or better yet, at least explore the possibility that God doesn't force them to hurt us. It would be a shame if they hurt us for no reason, and had to answer for that someday.
