Question: Can Straight People Wear Rainbow Colors?
Answer: Many glbt people show their gay pride by wearing or displaying rainbow colors in a variety of forms- bracelets, necklaces, clothes, flags, bumper stickers, etc. Each color of the rainbow insignia has a different meaning, but as a whole represent acceptance, inclusion and diversity.
Straight men and women can also wear pride colors to show their support for glbt people and gay rights causes. Some people may assume if a person is wearing rainbow paraphernalia that they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. However, misguided speculation shouldn't be a deterrent from showing support, but instead used as an opportunity to inform others about the rainbow colors and the reason we wear them.
