Three year old has asked that we put a rainbow flag on our house because he's seen them and he likes them. I sat him down and explained what it means, and now he wants one even more. I love him.

@ben

The old 'God's promise to never flood the earth again'?

or the new
'Diversity is Strength' meaning?

or the 'Light is composed of many wavelengths and we see them as colours when they diffract though raindrops in certain conditions' ?

all of which are valid

@Sassinake We're not a religious household. So it started with "rainbows are pretty" but finished with "rainbows are pretty important" with an understanding of the meaning of Pride. The other thing doesn't come into it for us, but no shade to anyone else's belief system.

@ben
i don't believe in Sky Wizards myself, but it makes a nice story.

One that 'believers' themselves seem to forget, when they try to turn it into something bad.
