They're not. Don't know where you got that idea from

I get his point though - just wearing one of them really has no LGBT affiliation: it just looks like a monochromatic watch. Maybe it's that subversion that Malaysia is afraid of.

What about the rainbow flag on them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went on to read that it also has six colours as opposed to the seven on a "real" rainbow as well. I'm getting more educated every day.

Apparently, there should have only been 6 colours in the rainbow in the first place. Newton allegedly added indigo because he believed that there should be 7 for occult reasons.
