        Rainbows are actually God's warning that homosexuality's punishment won't be a flood next time. It will be FIRE and BRIMSTONE.

        Do not be quick to put your mouth on a man's dick for it's an abomination. Facts are facts. Nations fall when they embrace gay lifestyles...

        Gilbert Baker. RIP. But Mr Baker was very promiscuous and yes he created the gay flag but also made gay ppl look bad by his sexual deviance

        Rainbow is part of the beautiful creation of God, and this guy turned it into a flag for sin. I think this is stealing from God, not right.
