there's sometimes talk in homophobic christian circles about how "the gays stole the rainbow from god" or w/e

and ofc this isn't "the crux of their argument" for queerphobia, there's no argument

but as a rebuttal to the also common idea of "the world's problems are divine retribution for all this decadence of the modern world (ie queer people)" the rainbow actually makes so much sense. "there won't be another great flood" and all
