The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

No idea what the last two messages are supposed to mean. He's generally pretty good on politics but he's been watching gamer-bait shit and I really doubt it's helping him at all.

Picking up speed

Running out of time

Going head to head

It's the way of life

You gotta fall down

Meet the ground

And to get back up again

The beginning of saints row 4 where your playing cod 4 and then you realize you have to sacrifice yourself and climb a nuclear missile and all your friends and enemies from the previous games says your goodbye and Aerosmith starts blasting is hilarious - and then you set off the bomb and it explodes and yeah it's not that kind of sacharine game, you survive and fall into the fucking oval office desk and become president
