    I always thought it was because each color would be a sexuality and you have all the different people coming together...so all the colors are together.

    Rainbows are a sign of diversity so probably that.

    I wondered that too. Maybe because anti-gay people think rainbows are gay? I have no idea.

    Because when people 'shoot us down' so to speak we can say "You are coloring over my fabulous picture with a black crayon right now."

    I'm kidding. Maybe google knows the answer.
