Description
A quote that I came up with myself while thinking about some personal things. I decided that I wanted to write it down, make it look good, and show it to other people and inspire them to also be happy despite what may be wrong in their lives.
Color Choices: I took my colors from the flags of the two sexualities stated, which are here ([link] ). Gay is a rainbow, straight is black and white, but I chose to make the straight shades of grey because even being straight there is no black and white, but shades of grey and so many variations.

Fonts used: Helvetica Neue, Cochin ([link] ), Fontin ([link] ), Fertigo Pro ([link] ), Futura

That's merely one encounter (or a few) of course you'll find straight people and gay people, all people in the world for that matter who disrespect based on orientation. Move forward and look at it as a whole. We don't really need a flag, we aren't trying to be accepted into society.. sexually I mean.

Well, heck, from time to time I feel like being overwhelmed by gays and gay sympathisers over here on DA.
Mostly my reaction is like: "Okay, you're gay, good for you. Please get your banners out of my face now. I want to see real art on the front page, not some half-arsed propaganda."

Ironically, straights' lives are more colorful than gays.
Damn them for stealing out unconceived flag.

I remember arguing with some gay person or just a sympathiser.
I said: "If you have a flag then why can't we, the straight, people have a flag?"
And she replied: "You already have one, it's gray and empty."
I lol'd.

That seemed a bit, homophobic, and a tad racist in my opinion.. I won't even comment on your signature.

Well, the international sign for gays IS the rainbow... and what you just said isn't only homophobic, it's sexist(in my eyes). Don't take that the worng way, I don't mean to offend you, but that's how I see it

Why a rainbow? Why not just pink?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why pink? Because it's a little girl color and every guy who wears it is automatically gay? And every woman wearing it automatically lesbian? Wow...
Pink was even removed from the flag in 1979.
To quote wikipedia:
"Originally created with eight colors, pink and turquoise were removed for production purposes and as of 1979, it consists of six colored stripes, which should always be displayed with red on top or to left. It is most commonly flown with the red stripe on top, as the colors appear in a natural rainbow.[12] Aside from the obvious symbolism of a mixed LGBT community, the colors were designed to symbolize: red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sunlight), green (nature), blue (harmony), and purple/violet (spirit)."

Tough guys wear pink.... because secretly they're gay.

Wearing pink doesn't make you gay, as wearing black doesn't make you emo.

When I wore black and pink, I wanted to cut my dick off and then suck it.

I believe those aren't women since they resemble bulldogs with blotches on their faces.

It's REALLY cool how you made "gay" and "happy" rainbownized cause, i don't know if you did that on purpose or didn't relize it, but gay means happy. People now a days use the word WAY out of context. I think why they use the word gay out of context is because the are insecure about their own being. Just a random thought. Sorry if I affended someone....I truely didn't mean it in a bad way.
