Take back the rainbow?

Yep, right in the middle of the big to-do about DADT, we have right-wing, anti-gay activists wanting to reclaim the rainbow flag from "Rainbow Coalition" gay rights activists.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the anti-gay-marriage Ruth Institute, says:

"[..] "the rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with man." Morse told ONN: "Proposition 8 was passed by a great grassroots coalition that included people from all across the religious traditions, and also people of every race and color. We are the real rainbow coalition. The gay lobby does not own the rainbow."

Morse continued: "We can't simply let that go by. Families put rainbows in their children's nurseries. Little Christian preschools will have rainbows...Noah's Ark and all the animals.... Those are great Christian symbols, great Jewish symbols." [..]"

Well okay, go ahead and hang giant rainbow flags all around your house .. just don't be surprised when all those people show up for the parade ...
