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 It sounds like you're confusing the rainbow itself with the rainbow _flag_.

Not sure why you'd do that, when @ben's post was quite clear about which one is involved. 🤔

@kagan @ben

not sure why you'd want to separate the 'rainbow' from the 'rainbow' flag.

@Sassinake @ben Because one is a natural, physical phenomenon, and the other is a symbol created by human beings.

Natural phenomena don't have meanings, they just are.
