Why do gays love flying the rainbow flag?

Working in Seattle I see a lot of rainbow flags around. Just curious, are these new comers from the closet? Seems stupid to put it on blast that queers live here...

    June is Pride month. LGBT folks are embracing their sexuality instead of being ashamed, and allies are showing their support for us.

    As an added bonus, most of us are celebrating yesterday's verdict on DOMA and Prop 8. It's pure coincidence that it occurred during this time.

    They enjoy exploiting something there proud of!

    They dont give two ***** about that the guy next to them thinks, it defines who they are as a person and they are proud of it!

    There the ones not afraid to tell everyone.

    I think its awesome.

    AND its not stupid, Taxes are stupid.

    Hanging a rainbow flag does not fall into that category.

    you know, i always wondered why they chose the rainbow colors...as there's a religious significance to the rainbow lol.

    nonetheless, they've always done that...especially here in california. they like to show off that they're gay.
